MC10 uses cutting edge technology to create wearable and flexible biosensors. Traditional electronic devices are rigid, bulky and fundamentally mismatched to the properties of the human body. MC10 products are thin and flexible, and built to stretch, bend and twist seamlessly with our bodies, creating the most comfortable experience possible for the user.While working here, I acted as lead mechanical engineer on a team developing a flexible, ultra-thin, and wearable ECG cardiac… Show more MC10 uses cutting edge technology to create wearable and flexible biosensors. Traditional electronic devices are rigid, bulky and fundamentally mismatched to the properties of the human body. MC10 products are thin and flexible, and built to stretch, bend and twist seamlessly with our bodies, creating the most comfortable experience possible for the user.While working here, I acted as lead mechanical engineer on a team developing a flexible, ultra-thin, and wearable ECG cardiac biosensor and heart rate logger with a form factor similar to a Band-Aid.Some skills used/learned at my position are as follows:●Conducted a clinical study●Created complete CAD (SolidWorks) database for device, including test fixtures, technical drawings, and high quality product renders●Optimized design through various electrode tests, wear tests, durability tests, and water ingress tests●Analyzed collected physiological data against consumer and medical gold standard heart rate monitors and presented data for use in a technical publication●Authored and conducted many on-body test protocols, including functional validation of device●Built hundreds of prototypes, which required soldering , die cutting, assembly, and functional validation●Practiced GLP while maintaining a lab notebook and in writing test reports●Interacted with outside vendors to order materials or labor needed for test fixture development Show less

Worked as Northeastern University Co-opI assisted in the development and optimization of a pediatric stent. I performed all mechanical testing on prospective design variants, testing radial force during expansion and contraction, recovery time after deployment, and analyzed micro fractures and other signs of wear after all testing was completed.Some skills used/learned at my position are as follows:●Gained experience using a various laboratory equipment (SEM, RF Tester… Show more Worked as Northeastern University Co-opI assisted in the development and optimization of a pediatric stent.
