  • May 2013 - Jan 2015

  Identified a leading cause of customer complaints associated with a high priority FDA response letter and developed a feasible solution. This involved isolating the root cause of the failure, developing appropriate testing methods, designing a new solution, and interfacing with other project members, suppliers, clinical staff, and prototyping companies.Methods utilized included: dFEMA, Monte Carlo Simulations, Stack-Up analysis, IP and other IEC standards testing, extensive materials compatibility research, Gauge R&R, and Design Verification. Strong communication was required throughout the project, and included several presentations to group members and management.
