Designed spinal implants and instruments in SolidWorks and documented design decisions. Used wide variety of modeling tools in SolidWorks including master-modeling to create complicated medical devices. Created manufacturing drawings for spinal implants and instruments using standard GD&T practices. Generated engineering analyses such as tolerance stack to confirm designs and control tolerancing. Defined customer and design requirements to comply with FDA regulations and used FMEA to generate V&V testing. Updated and consolidated all system BOMs and shipment documents to improve internal efficiency. Designed and performed FEA analyses on implant configurations to rationalize ASTM testing on worst case constructs

Innovation and Development Intern

FHC, Inc.

2013-5 - 2013-8 · 4 mos

Developed and performed experiments to investigate impedance stability of neurosurgical microelectrodes. Organized and analyzed data to make cleaning processes that improved impedance readings by up to 15 MΩ. Standardized cleaning processes resulted in improved impedance stability. Created normalized documentation of impedance issues to be referenced for future research. Collaborated with engineers to produce unique solutions that satisfy customer special orders.
