- Design and prototype custom mechanisms and actuators under aggressive timelines
- Drive concepts from first prototype through high-volume production
- Personally design parts for volume manufacturing processes , including :
- Injection molding
- Die casting
- Stamping / sheet metal
- Extrusion
- Powder metal / MIM
- Partner closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) to ensure DFM, reliability, and cost targets are met
- Build systems that are not just elegant but robust, testable, and shippable at scale
