During my time as a Service Engineer with PulmOne, I gained experience in numerous areas of the Medical Device Industry thanks to the large volume of responsibilties I was assigned with. Those areas on growth include: - Medical device design, verification, and validation - Medical device manufacturing and repair processes - FDA regulatory standards for devices, facilities, and interal operations - Direct clinical customer support and feedback collection - Effective communcation and strategy across all company departmentsWhile in office, I spend much of my time diagnosing, repairing, and testing customer pulmonary function testing devices. I was given the responsibility of heading the repair lab and ensuring customer devices were attended to promptly and in accordance to industry standards. This included creating an efficient workflow plan, creating progress logs, and corresponding with finance and inventory departments. In addition to laboratory management, I also answer incoming service calls from clinics to help ensure the device is providing accurate and efficient tests. This would often include aiding clinicians in proper equipment use, diagnosing malfunctioning equipment, and relaying repair plans and updates to customers. I also spend a significant amount of time traveling to different clinics to assist with onsite installation and training. While face to face with customers, I also collect feedback on how we can improve and relay that back with my team.

Throughout this capstone project I saw myself grow into an effective leader and team memeber. Through intensive market research, concept generation, protoyping, and verification and validation, my team and I were able to present our client with a promising design that addressed major needs in accordance with ISO and ASTM standards at a expensene far below the target. This project allowed me to hone and aquire experience in the indentification, deisgn, and implementation of a medical device, as well as gain knowledge in FDA regulatory pathways, technical writing, and team organization. Was personally responsible for CAD drawings, contacting manufacturers, organzing team meetings and Gantt charts, and the design, construction, and testing of our prototype.

Working as an Undergraduate Engineering Lab TA has taught me a lot about developing thorough testing protocols, troubleshooting complicated equipemnt, and keeping a laboratory neat and organzied. I would meet with the lab professor weekly to give updates and recieve important information. I would also communicate any changes to rubrics or lab manuals I saw fit, as well as take the time to check the equipment ensuring that the lab would go as planned. But the best lesson I learned was without a doubt how to be an effective leader and prepare those around me to do great work. In the lab I made sure to take student feeback, understand student needs, and give them the tools and mindset that allowed them to become more independant, collaborative, and confident engineers.
