As R&D prototypes develop from feasibility to production prototypes, lead fast-paced iterative redesign and retesting based on previous performance results Awarded 2 patents, one on a sensor using confocal optics, and the other sensor using polarization optics Lead incremental and final design reviews to mechanical team and project team, design reviews may include precision tolerancing, tolerance stack analysis, and thermal analysis Assembly of prototypes, including use of opto-alignment station, specifying adhesive based on properties, pneumatic application protocol, and cure schedule Able to see inefficiencies in current situation and define actionable items to increase momentum Lead Test Engineer for characterizing and qualifying prototype assemblies or subassemblies in 4 multi-year projects Define hardware specification for test setups such as motion control, environment control, interferometers, encoders, and software integration typically in LabVIEW Define test conditions, collaborating with lead scientist, lead electrical designer, and project manager to ensure all stake-holders agree to test plan Design post-processing analysis scripts in LabVIEW, Python, IGOR, or Matlab. Mentor and advise fellow mechanical engineers on best practices within industry and within the company Provide mechanical POV and support in multi-disciplinary teams, such as code reviews, optical design reviews, electrical design reviews, report release, drawing release, and project post-mortems Present project performance and demos to internal stakeholders in addition to International Board of Directors
