Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • Led and managed the design for two new products. I was responsible for component selection, product characterization, and creating product documentation. • Designed and built various new testing jigs and circuits for our electronics using KiCAD and SolidWorks. These are used in-house for product testing and improved testing time by up to 600%. • Manage the production team, and its relevant tooling and layout.

I was responsible for component selection, product characterization, and creating product documentation. • Designed and built various new testing jigs and circuits for our electronics using KiCAD and SolidWorks. These are used in-house for product testing and improved testing time by up to 600%. • Manage the production team, and its relevant tooling and layout. I introduced various procedural and manufacturing changes which directly helped cut down on product lead times and costs. • Order procurement for all of Engineering and Production - I manage all communication with various turnkey manufacturers for high level projects (orders > $100,000), ensuring lead times for production is met. • Helped design new PCB revisions in KiCAD, updated and created BoMs, and added new assembly instructions in order to cut down on costs, lead times, and product failure rate. • Manage all product manufacturing and electronics testing. I create biweekly production dockets, delegate tasks to my team, and update or make new procedures and documentation for all of our products. • Rehauled all internal documentation for Engineering and Production teams by creating a Wiki on our internal website. Created, updated, and centralized all relevant documentation (Schematics, gerbers, BoMs, assembly instructions, testing instructions) on the Wiki - providing a clear and organized location for all information. • Provide technical support and setup assistance for our customers as well as our field staff. This includes writing specialized reference guides, online meetings, phone calls, emails, and in person help.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • Conducted testing and calibration of all outgoing products. Criteria of tests included actuator speed, accuracy, thrust force, electrical connectivity, and general quality assurance of devices. Products include actuators, sensors, and brackets, used primarily for precision motion control. Testing and calibration was done using LabView and Python. • Managed the outgoing logistics chain - areas include order processing, product testing, packaging, shipping, and customer support.

Criteria of tests included actuator speed, accuracy, thrust force, electrical connectivity, and general quality assurance of devices. Products include actuators, sensors, and brackets, used primarily for precision motion control. Testing and calibration was done using LabView and Python. • Managed the outgoing logistics chain - areas include order processing, product testing, packaging, shipping, and customer support. I targeted inefficiencies within the entire outgoing logistics chain to help improve overall workflow and eliminate procedural errors. • Designed, automated, and maintained testing apparatuses, testing procedures, and testing protocols. Worked alongside various engineering teams (Electrical, Software, Mechanical) to create proper testing and calibration setups. • Designed new packaging and packaging dies using SolidWorks. This helped cut down on shipping costs by improving product density in shipments, reducing the time needed to pack products, and reducing time needed to create packaging. My designs reduced product failure during transportation, and ensured that our products used for precision motion control would ship safely. • Production work - fabrication of mounting brackets, power supplies, and cables. Procedural work including updating BoM and assembly instructions. Show less
