Working on productizing 0->1 technology in the wearables space (neural interface devices).

Lead engineer responsible for product design of compute systems.Led design and implementation of Waymo’s first data-logging solutions, critical to ramping driverless ride-hailing operations in San Francisco (a world first).

Special Projects Group. Development of custom hardware platform, to enable autonomous technology R&D and drive future product architecture.

Technical Lead for Mechanical division of WATonomous team, responsible for technical direction & planning and managing the efforts for a 15 person sub-team.

Special Projects Group. Designed and packaged electro-mechanical components, generated PCB MCOs, and conducted design studies on product targeting medium-volume manufacturing; emphasis on DFMA, NVH/sealing and thermal performance.

Part of the Advanced Technologies Group.• Led complete development of compute module design and vehicle integration, including mounting, thermal analysis, fluid flow and structural integrity.• Conducted many fluid flow simulations of forced-air cooled heatsinks using ANSYS CFX, leading to optimization of existing and future cooling systems in vehicls.• Designed several assembly and test fixtures used in the manufacture and test of over 50 production autonomous vehicles (SUVs and 18-wheelers).• Developed low cost solution to dampen noise and vibration caused by cooling system, contributing to quieter ride and improved passenger comfort.

Special Projects Group. Performed DOEs and thermal-electric simulations for innovative cooling strategies and semiconductor packaging, driving early concept development of modules.

• Managed testing and shipment for the entire Battery Management System PCB product line (validating boards, assembling modules, co-ordinating shipments).• Designed a custom test fixture that performs infant mortality and load testing of newly manufactured PCBs (mechanicals, cable diagrams, high voltage protection).
