Direct robotic hardware system design and integration for autonomous platforms, lead testing/debugging protocols to validate hardware-software interfaces, and mentor junior engineers to improve reliability and time-to-delivery.

Led mechanical, process, and automation engineering to streamline hardware development and manufacturing, developed LabView and PLC solutions for automated testing, and executed full-cycle PCB and embedded system bring-up for high-reliability products.

Orchestrated design and production of mechanical systems for the high-performance aftermarket, led junior engineers through productization, and implemented testing procedures to evaluate safety and energy efficiency of new products.

Directed day-to-day manufacturing operations using Lean methods, led DfM/DfA initiatives to optimize production efficiency, and managed budgets and performance standards across multiple teams.

Directed hardware engineering and implementation for new product offerings in the technology & strategy group, facilitating cross-team collaboration to accelerate product releases and resolve system-level hardware challenges.

Founded and led the Structured Test Team, authored Argo's DVP and test specifications incorporating SOTIF and ISO 26262, and engineered test rigs and infrastructure to improve automated reporting and verification.

Managed Tiger Team operations for AV fleet troubleshooting, developed high-risk edge-case tests using structured methods, and performed root cause analysis to triage critical software/hardware issues.

Performed mechatronics engineering for full-scale installations, established testing best practices, reduced project costs through analysis, and mentored cross-functional team members to improve operational efficiency.

Executed mechatronics engineering and fabrication of high-precision neural probes, innovated manufacturing methods to improve yield, and managed full development cycles from concept to production.
