Provide technical support for product verification through development, manufacturing and release of Class III medical devices.Define, document, and perform verification tests and conduct analysis of the test results to ensure complete verification of the requirements.Specializing in standards compliance such as 60601-1-2 4th Edition EMC and ESD testing.

Manage multiple systems integration and software validation testing systems for Xbox and its accessories.• Execute automated stress tests to validate new software, hardware and firmware on a 40 station setup• Develop and implement new tests to support automated data collection and analysis platforms.• Analyze large data sets, debug and root cause analysis of hardware and software failures

Responsible for testing of components and systems validation for high volume consumer products. Designed and validated test fixtures that ensured product quality.Primary reliability test engineer from inception of Kinect, the optical motion sensing Xbox accessory.• Reduced test time by 80% (40 hours per test cycle) by creating a fixture to automate an insertion/extraction test that was done manually at the factory.• Created portable, easy to use programs (PowerShell, Visual Basic and Lua) that controls and monitors the performance of multiple devices under test simultaneously. Made operational testing possible and produced accurate failure data in a simple format. Used for multiple projects with $100k annual budgets.• Pioneered cost-effective, adjustable fixtures that eliminated the need to replace fixtures if the design changed – saving 1 to 2 weeks of fabrication time.• Launched robotic testing of keypads allowing complex qualification tests not possible with other test methods. Eliminated the need for multiple fixtures and reduced test time by 70%.• Coordinated ongoing reliability testing with Tier 2 and Tier 3 overseas suppliers.

Managed product reliability tests for systems and a variety of components including cameras, infrared projectors, PCBAs and motors. • Designed and constructed fixtures to measure the optical quality of Kinect devices. Wrote programs that processed the Kinect images and performed statistical calculations to determine device performance. System was crucial to completing reliability testing.• Automated data analysis using scripts and Excel macros to extract information from data files and creating graphs - reducing processing time from 16 hours to 2 hours.

Administered quality planning, analyzing statistical data, and monitoring the overall effectiveness of both internal and external quality programs of the Consumer Manufacturing department.• Prepared monthly warranty reports for the entire $500 million company by analyzing ~17,000 new service claims each month.• Oversaw quality for all phases of the redesign of 2 product lines including FMEA.• Received a “Pinnacle Award” for helping solve a supplier quality issue.

Quality and Production Engineer – Managed product quality and shipping of high value specialty products.• Implemented quality assurance procedures for a $15 million, 40-station production facility.• Grew rare-earth oxide and CaF2 crystals using the Czochalski method.• Constructed new stations and performed the trial runs to get them into production condition.• Presented poster paper “Scintillation Properties of LYSO Crystals”, 2002 Nuclear Science Symposium & Medical Imaging Conference, Norfork, VA, November 10-16, 2002.
