Research and Design Engineer

(Aug 2019 - Aug 2021)

Designed, built and presented 10+ hardware prototypes/concepts to clients, resulting in new client business and expanding business with current clients – specifically, prototypes demonstrated new product opportunities for clients if they integrated our speaker technology (directional sound bars, high-performance headphones)
Provided marketing team with data visualization that helped quantify the novel benefits of company’s technology, previously undocumented
Personally responsible for developing a material characterization method and procedure improving the accuracy of multi-physics simulations thereby reducing drive unit development time by roughly 90%.
Created 20+ test automation, data analysis, and system response scripts in Matlab, significantly reducing product test time and improving engineering development efficiency
Conducted and analyzed hundreds of measurements on sound systems, prototypes, electronics, and materials for product benchmarking and marketing materials for new and existing business

Consultant Mechanical Engineering Designer

(Jun 2017 - 2021)

Worked with Seattle-based custom road bike manufacturer to leverage new manufacturing technology to re-engineer six bicycle components into one part, reducing manufacturing and assembly steps by 5+, and reducing component weight, and cost
Identified key product requirements through regular meetings with key stakeholders, including engineers, business owners, and manufacturers, to create an efficient design process and cohesive solution
Worked with the client, an industry-leading pharmaceutical testing instrument developer, on dozens of next-generation design concepts and created final product Solidworks models and engineering drawings needed for manufacturing

Mechanical Engineering Intern

(Jun 2018 - Sep 2018)

Built Solidworks parts, configurations, and assemblies for new and updated silicon photonic test and measurement equipment and worked directly with domestic and international suppliers to manufacture components for shipping custom units
Responsible for the design of multiple novel subsystems in shipping products to enhance system capabilities in probe stations that position fiber optics to silicon wafers within 10nm of precision

Performed research for patents and manufacturing methods to secure competitive advantage and reduce production time and costs
