Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• I was the technical program manager for the 30+ person Software Systems and Safety Engineering team, responsible for software system architecture, software requirements definition, safety analyses, and testing strategy.
• Drove execution of the software department's Safety Case, ensured that safety-critical deliverables were consistently delivered along Aurora's product roadmap. Hit all key externally-reported Product Readiness OKRs.
• Drove a cross functional team (core autonomy, systems eng., risk) to produce 1000s of simulation-based tests to explore system performance during the presence of subsystem limitations/deficiencies. Frequently described.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• I was the technical program manager for the Organizational Safety team, which was a 30+ person team responsible for organization-wide safety policies, safety regulatory initiatives, risk-management, operational safety.
• Restructured the company-wide program to drive NVO Road Safety Case (a multi-year initiative) efforts forward, uniting technical engineering planning efforts and safety case deliverables under a singular, JIRA-based.
• Product Owner for internal Safety Case Tooling initiatives - successfully defined, resourced, and deployed two internal software tools, improving executive-level visibility and execution efficiency
• Presented Aurora’s Safety Case approach at Lifesavers 2023 (2000+ road safety advocates): How Safe Is Safe Enough (Part 1)? Conveying the ADS Safety Case From A Manufacturer's Perspective
• Created and operationalized NVO Safety Case Closure process based on ASPICE and CMMI standards

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• I was a lead systems engineer for R&D/NPI projects within the S+N robotics product portfolio. I also supported early research (pre R&D / NPI) endeavors and product remediation + post-market activities.Key.
• Launched RI.HIP NAV on CORI in US - expanded platform from solely knee to hip surgical applications. Served as the lead systems engineer on the project and was responsible for the product development lifecycle.
• Promoted CORI cementless implant compatibility into R&D by establishing and proving early-stage validation criteria via a series of benchtop & surgeon-user testing + tooling qualification activities.
• Continuously improved CORI and NAVIO products and documentation to maintain state-of-the-art expectations, which streamlined a number of downstream activities: parallel development projects, regulatory filings for.

Greater Denver Area

• Core member of a scrappy team who took an idea conceived in an entrepreneurship class into a fully functioning prototype with a completed design for manufacturability. Ultimately shelved the business, but learned.
• Developed idea, business model, and proof-of-concept prototype for our flagship product: a heated foam roller
• Co-lead for all product and engineering decisions - responsible for design, testing, and construction of initial prototype & served as key advisor on the design for manufacturability

Louisville, Colorado, United States

• I was an EUMDR remediation team lead for surgical components in the Stealth Station S7 and S8 product lines.Key Achievements:
• Completed remediation activities for high-priority devices ahead of May 2020 deadlines - preventing potential sales impacts
• Evaluated entire product history files for gaps and drove necessary design changes to closure through an accelerated development lifecycle. Functional design, packaging, and labeling changes were necessary to achieve.
• Coordinated efforts across a team of ~10 engineers and created templates and streamlined processes to improve program execution efficiency. Requirements review templates and best practices within labeling and packaging.

Bloomington, Indiana Area

• I was a product and manufacturing remediation team lead for the CODA cardiovascular balloon catheter line in response to an FDA warning letterKey Achievements:
• Completed product remediation efforts using a complaint-driven, risk-based approach. Delivered updated design lifecycle documentation including Use Specifications, Clinical Effects Analyses, Design Inputs, Verification.
• Revalidated manufacturing processes to modified Quality Management expectations through the creation and execution of qualification reports (Tooling Qualifications, Software Qualifications, Operational Qualifications.

Greater Denver Area

• I was part of an 8 person startup team developing a low-cost electroencephalogram and integrated software. I had direct involvement with R&D, production, business development, documentation, and research.
• Administered WAVi EEG scans to clients and gave product demos to potential customers
• Improved low-volume manufacturing processes to prepare for ISO certifications. Implemented barcode-based component tracking for quality and inventory management.
• Evaluated research opportunities by analyzing comparable experimentation and published articles in the related field, and drafted IRBs for prospective experiments
• Completed materials testing for a failure-prone component

San Francisco Bay Area

• Member of the first mechanical engineering intern cohort at NevroKey Responsibilities & Achievements:
• Produced and updated 3D models and part drawings using SolidWorks software
• Designed and executed testing for OR Cables, Implantable Pulse Generators, and Paddle Leads
• Implemented in-house 3D printing capabilities for rapid prototyping
• Produced and compiled FDA documentation including part specifications, test specifications, and design history files
• Designed, fabricated, and implemented three systems to improve testing, manufacturing, and verification activities for Nevro (IPG – Charging Pad interface, Lead Cable Identification device, Paddle Lead Bend device)

Aspen, Colorado

• Ground-up understanding of engineering concepts implemented in ski lifts including mechanical design and safety-monitoring systems
• Worked on and operated detachable and fixed lifts
• Calculated pull load values and factors of safety for splicing procedures
• Performed non-destructive analysis (NDT) on lift elements including, but not limited to chair arms, gears, and engine components
