• Director of Mechanical Engineering

  • Nov 2022 - Present

  Lead the mechanical team in developing a 2nd novel high-speed 3D printing platform capable of printing high temp materials such as PEEK and ULTEMDirected multiple contract manufacturers (CM) and suppliers to establish a new production line for final assembly of an FDM 3D printer. This included in-person oversight in Shanghai to implement assembly procedures, assembly fixtures, inspection fixtures and quality procedures.Managed the continuous production (rate of 7 machines/week) of two FDM 3D printers and problem-solved urgent manufacturing issues Show less

• Mechanical Engineering Manager

  • Aug 2021 - Oct 2022

  Worked with the CMs to implement engineering changes based on DFx feedbackDeveloped and refined a design engineering process that places significance on first-principles based physics and identifying risks at an early stage in the design processDeveloped and implemented a continuous improvement process using Jira to quickly address customer issues and identify root causes

• Senior Mechanical Engineer

  • Mar 2020 - Aug 2021

  Transitioned the company from a file-based CAD management system to Solidworks PDM involving 2,000+ CAD files. Reduced manufacturing errors due to incorrect part revisions down from multiple parts per release to zero per release.Implemented a company-wide change management system for reviewing, approving, and releasing engineering changes to our contract manufacturing partnersPrimary engineer responsible for interfacing with our contract manufacturers to release into production a large-scale industrial 3D printer consisting of 1,000+ unique parts Show less
