EXPERIENCE

Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN                                                                                      2018 March – 2019 June

Contract Biomedical Engineer

I was hired by Adecco Staffing Agency to work in the Product Remediation group of Cook Medical. I generated documentation for both design history files and risk management. I first worked on a team remediating multiple lines of peripherally inserted central venous catheters. This project included writing a report on the nature of complaint handling for these devices internally at the company. During my last 6 months, I was resourced to lead a product remediation team working with fixed core wire guides. My team again generated documentation for both design history files and risk management for multiple fixed core wire guide product lines.

Contract Biomedical Technician

My team has been contracted by Philips Medical to set the baseline for an incoming medical device tracking software that will be implemented in Northwell Hospitals. We as a team enter these hospitals and catalogue all devices under the local biomedical department’s jurisdiction. Responsibilities include interacting with hospital staff and patients and having a base knowledge of all medical devices in a hospital setting, including being able to enter the devices to record serial numbers, IP/MAC addresses, and software versions.

 

EMD Serono, Rockland, MA                                                                                                       2016 March-July

Engineering Co-op

At EMD Serono I was a part of the launch team of a new division (Fertility Technologies) and the launch of a few clinical devices. I worked directly for the Fertility Technologies Business Lead with emphasis on understanding the technical requirements to installing, training on, and operating the new clinical devices. I worked in parallel with Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, Customer Support and Regulatory to prepare for the launch. I was the sole engineer on the launch team. My daily work consisted of communicating with global colleagues who had already undergone the launch of these devices and preparing workflow modifications to adhere to US standards. My position was a pre-cursor to the Clinical Applications Engineer position which was filled prior to my departure. My role was designed (as it progressed) to ensure the Clinical Applications Engineer would have all of the tools, resources, contacts, and training necessary to work in the field, supporting the launched clinical devices, upon his or her on-boarding. The position showed me the granular detail necessary to perform a proper product launch.

 

Betatronix LLC, Hauppauge, NY                                                         2014 June-December, 2015 June-August

Engineering Co-op                                                           

At Betatronix I was immersed in the real business and engineering world. Betatronix makes precision potentiometers for the aerospace and medical industries. I designed assemblies and production equipment using SolidWORKS and AUTOCAD software. I performed floor tasks that included: soldering, screen printing, electrical and linearity testing, and running machines in the machine shop. I created and edited part drawings, assembly drawings, and screen drawings for the company. All documentation supported the company’s AS9100 quality system. I learned quality testing and partook in sales meetings to grasp the full company dynamic.

Low-cost, Non-mydriatic Fundus Camera

I worked with a team of five students, one advisor, and two customers to create a model and test plan for a fundus camera. My role included aiding in testing of the device and validating its safety for use on human subjects. This included interacting with ISO documentation.
