Selected impact
Experience
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.
