Objective
I want to apply my skills and experience as a mechanical engineer to projects in the biomedical industry that will have a positive impact on the world. My dedication is backed up by a Master’s degree in mechanical engineering and 10 years of experience, 5 of which focused on biomedical device design.
Experience
Feb. 2016-Jan. 2018 Samsung NeuroLogica Danvers, MA
Senior Mechanical Engineer
● Designed physical user interfaces on a mobile, driveable CT system. The driving experience was this instrument's major draw at its debut event and received rave reviews from users.
● Produced controlling documents from high-level assembly procedures down to individual
component drawings
● Ensured that designs were safe and appropriate for clinical environments
● Mentored junior mechanical engineers
● Solicited bids for prototype fabrication
● Performed FEA in SolidWorks to guide design decisions
July 2012-Nov. 2016 Beckman Coulter Ft. Collins, CO
Mechanical Engineer
● Designed thermal management, electronics housings, and mechanical user interface for a new analytic ultracentrifuge for use in medical research and biopharmaceuticals.
● Led and participated in design reviews
● Worked with external vendors to optimize manufacturability
● Designed components for flow cytometers to reduce cost and improve reliability
● Overhauled and updated CAD assemblies in a shared system to make the system more useful
● Analyzed part deformation using SolidWorks FEA
● Created Design Change Plans (DCPs) and numerous Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
2006-2010 Rockwell Collins Cedar Rapids, IA
Mechanical Engineer I-II
● Held a DoD Secret clearance for sensitive defense projects
● Performed thermal analysis of ground satellite terminals, weapons data links, and power supplies using ANSYS and Flotherm for ground, airborne, and naval carrier environments
● Modeled shock and vibration in ANSYS for a populated PWB
● Shielded electronic subassemblies from radio frequency noise (EMI/EMC)
● Adapted a 20-year-old cast part design for milling and welding to meet an aggressive schedule
● Performed fit checks to verify prototype parts fit properly and identify out-of-spec components
● Wrote and illustrated assembly process documents for a complex tamper-resistant product
● Investigated material/environmental compatibility in a harsh naval environment
2003-2004 Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics Boulder, CO
Mechanical Engineering intern – instrument for New Horizons space probe
▪ Wrote and implemented test procedures for components of a deep space dust detector
▪ Designed vibration test fixtures and created dimensioned SolidWorks drawings
▪ Safeguarded ESD-sensitive electronics during fabrication, assembly, and testing
▪ Conducted experiments in open clean room, vacuum, and cryogenic environments
▪ Presented findings to the customer (Southwest Research Institute) in formal design reviews
Education
2010-2012 University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, CO
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Design Track
▪ The Master’s program at CU-Boulder allowed me to ...
