All the responsibilities of Sr. Test Engineer with an exponential increase of project load, complexity, ownership and passion with the trust and support of the organization. Problem solving in highly complex systems with expert level understanding of integration points between subsystems, HW, SW, FW, and the user experience. I help solve problems found on the cutting edge of medical physics, to provide solutions enabling the creation of the best-in-class PET/CT devices available in the world.In addition to project specific activities, I am vigilantly on the lookout for ways to improve both the quality and efficiency of the testing our teams perform through tooling, automation, methodologies, and new technological opportunities such as virtual environments or simulators. This work often requires driving new process improvements working with Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs and the rest of the PLM team.Recent Education: I’ve spent the last 3-4 years building my knowledge of medical physics and gaining proficiency in the fixtures, preparation, and completion of NEMA standard testing as well as working collaboratively to establish new industry requirements used by all medical device manufacturers. In addition, as of July 2018, I earned a Masters of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance and two EC-Council certifications: Certified Ethical Hacker, Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator.

Molecular Imaging R&D: Completes complex material specifications, schematic preparation, and follow-up to ensure proper and effective implementation. Performs complex design, development, testing, and modifications of solutions. Performs explanations and clarifies information to enable proper interpretation and evaluation of complex specifications, performance characteristics or other technical data. Performs communication of complex technical and commercial issues. Completes recommendations for complex new designs, new processes, or design changes to meet requirements.Deciphered: I am heavily involved in the planning stages of test specification improvement, new test creation for new functionality, and management of the system and system integration test levels for both planning and execution of tests. I directly manage a 7 member, dual-shift test team assigning specific activities for each project phase. Additional areas of work incorporate migration of test methodologies, strategies, and plans into an Agile framework, and refining data mining, planning, tracking, and reporting extracted from the QC 10 test tool via complex SQL queries.
