• Co-led the development of the Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock, the first auto-refill dock sold globally. Guided 11 mechanical engineers across multiple time zones and coordinated across all functional groups in launching on schedule and within budget. Analyzed customer returns identifying areas of improvement. Evaluated options for further cost savings.• Established company standards, processes, tools, documentation, and training: - PTC Windchill: BOMs, structure, associations, numbering, and naming scheme. - PTC Creo: best practices, standard drawings notes, dimensioning scheme, and texture documentation. - PPAP (production part approval process): first article inspection (overhauled templates, defined acceptance criteria, architected software that assisted reviews, standardized data management, established approval workflow, built dashboards, and improved communication), material, and color qualification. - Capital assets: improved data usage and accuracy across multiple databases (eQuip, Windchill, Oracle, data warehouse) leveraged by various functional groups (manufacturing, operations, engineering, and finance).• Supported multiple sourcing of components, improved documentation (clarified drawing dimensions and datums, cited industry standards, and updated compliance), and refined the design as needed.

• Developed the e-Series and i-Series robots which introduced an improved cleaning system and new modular architecture that accelerated the launch of five distinct product lines with over 6M units sold and was the foundation for the Roomba Combo platform. • Launched the Roomba e5 and e6 within 11 months where the production started on schedule and within budget at an unprecedented scale (more than the ramp plan for the prior four robots combined and oversaw the qualification of more than 750 parts) despite maintaining compatibility with the Roomba i7 that was still under development and launched several months later. Qualified a second source production line. Developed a cost- reduced version implemented at both factories.

Needham, Ma, Us

• Developed the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System featuring four interchangeable vessels for a blender, processor, auto-spiralizer, and high-speed blending cup. Formulated methods that identified unique vessels.• Launched Ninja BlendMAX DUO, the largest capacity, fastest, and most powerful blender at the time. Executed the design and validation of a new cord wrap for cost reduction and supported other cost reduction activities.• Collaborated with NPD, NPI, project management, marketing, culinary, ID, human factors, quality, and compliance across global offices (China, UK, USA) gaining alignment and resolving issues.• Refined product specification documentation that was more comprehensive and relevant.

Framingham, Massachusetts, Us

• Headed the engineering team for the ShowMatch array loudspeaker, a new professional product platform consisting of speakers, rigging, and accessories. Architected the preliminary design. Managed technical development across all disciplines (acoustics, global supply management & engineering, industrial design, legal, manufacturing, mechanical, product management, project management, and quality assurance).• Implemented product strategy with the executive team; defined requirements with product management; and established schedules, budgets, and resource requirements with program management.• Formulated the division's product development process and defined the role and responsibilities for the product manager, program manager, and project engineer.
