EXPeRT BRAINSTORMING AND PRODUCT DEFINITION
Transformation of an idea to concept then to a fully viable product. Throughout the engineering process using scientific principles, the design is refined. Within the constraints imposed by our client’s desires and physical reality, various optimization parameters are considered, such as, quality, volume, safety, and reliability..
EXPeRT IN MECHANICAL DESIGN
The design of elegantly simple products that have very clever mechanisms built into them the critical task is the integration of the sum of all the ideas into a functional system that fulfill the target requirements
My experience tells me where not to go and where to go, when to calculate and when to experiment.
DEVELOPER OF EARLY CONCEPTS TO FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE BUILD
I am experienced builder of different types of prototype technology, from cosmetic mockup to functional prototypes, working with my own equipment from 3D Printing and CNC machining and additionally work with a full network of vetted partners that together we provide processes like laser cutting, Sheetmetal, Quick turn PCBA, Silicone Molding..
DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY (DFM)
My designs are optimized for both performance and manufacturing cost. There are many ways to manufacture and assemble a product, and by applying DFM principles throughout the development process, I ensure that the final design is successful.
Experienced in these manufacturing processes
- injection molding, and extrusions of plastics
- Assembly process
- Diecasting
- Sheetmetal
- CNC Machining
- Joining and assembly methods
- Materials selection for your specific process and applications
- Dimensional tolerance of components applied to specific processes
IMPORTANCE OF DOCUMENTATION
document our design process per you requirements, experienced in EUMDR, FDA, ISO 13845 QMS FOR MED DEV, IEC 60601 MED DEV COMPLIANCE, ISO 14971 RISK MANAGEMENT, CFR 820 FDA QS CGMP.
Working with different customer requirements, furnishing documentation for their DHF, supporting 510k filling and amendments.
Following drafting standards, GD&T, Tolerance analysis, SPC, correlation of key performance parameters, SPC, and defining manufacturing documentation.
VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION
Experienced in development testing and verification testing through the the different phases of the project life cycle. developed test plans based on design inputs, tested and verified at critical milestones.
driven through complicated verification processes for Type II & III medical devices
Executed test protocols following good documentation processes, design of test fixtures from LABVIEW and MATLAB driven tests, DAQ recorded data, utilization of calibration practices, different sensors e.g. thermocouples, load cells, pressure sensors, flow meters, heat transfer with FLIR cameras and accelerated testing.
Development of traceability matrix to verify that design inputs linked to the verification tests to the verification report and ultimately confirmed compliance in a design review.
