Connected Health
Q2-Q4 2018
Challenge:
Create new IoT hardware intended to aid in chronic disease management for customers of a connected health company
Approach:
Led mechanical design team of 3 from early concept development through EVT release in 3 months
Completed a variety of workstreams spanning early stage form factor prototyping through manufacturing release of tooled plastics designs in a compressed 3-month timeframe
Managed mixed-level team ranging from experienced senior to entry-level engineers
Mechanical Design Architecture
Worked closely with client product manager to refine product-level requirements into engineering requirements
Collaborated with ID resources to define the look and feel of the device, balancing user needs with COGS implications
Detailed Design
Worked with electrical engineering team to develop mechanical control outlines for multiple PCBAs
Personally responsible for housing plastics design prior to domestic build
Broke down overall design into functional subsystems and delegated to team members
Domestic Prototype Build
Responsible for mechanical BOM and material drive for small-scale domestic build
Worked closely with visiting CM engineers to facilitate transition to overseas EV build
Collaborated on assembly SOPs and operator training
EV Release
Finalized and released tooling CAD package and ME BOM
Transitioned sustaining engineering workstreams to contract manufacturer
Skills:
Mechanical team leadership
