Experience

Five years solving manufacturing problems across complex hardware.

From semiconductor equipment manufacturing to medical imaging, my work has moved from hands-on manufacturing engineering into variable-cost productivity, mechanical product engineering, supplier programs and V&V.

VCP Design Engineer - Mechanical

Variable-cost productivity and mechanical engineering for medical imaging, spanning supplier programs, V&V, manufacturing readiness and customer-critical hardware problem solving.

  • Lead verification and validation activities for mobile radiography and mammography systems.
  • Support supplier transition, localization and productivity programs for critical mechanical components.
  • Work through prototype assembly, supplier documentation, V&V and risk-retirement testing.
  • Designed a fixture-based strategy for a critical mobile X-ray tool that allowed shipment without a constrained assembly step, with field engineering completing the deferred assembly during commissioning to protect the customer timeline.
