  SonoMotion is developing ultrasound technology based non-invasive solutions for treating kidney stones. I develop various ultrasound pressure wave beam patterns for fragmenting kidney stones efficiently. I had explored various techniques for designing the beam patterns during my research for master's thesis and filed a patent for the same. I am implementing those techniques for developing one of the products of the company. The product, BreakWave, has potential to replace kidney stone related surgeries with an office based treatment.• Designed, fabricated, tested 50+ prototypes to meet the required performance and form factor• Created/modified MPIs, DHRs, test protocols, SOPs, engineering reports, EBOM and ECO• Evaluated thermal, mechanical, electrical behavior of various components to meet regulatory requirements (IEC 60601, ISO 13485); followed Quality Management System and Design Control process as per FDA’s 21 CFR 820• Designed ultrasound lenses for manufacturing (DFM) and device housings for injection molding• Coordinated with interdisciplinary teams, vendors and suppliers to finalize commercial versions of various components Show less
