Perform mechanical testing and validation of catheter-based medical devices, including tensile and compression testing using Zwick material testing systems and standardized protocols to assess product performance. Conduct particulate monitoring and shedding tests on hydrophilic coatings with Lighthouse LS-20 particle counters, and capture and measure fibers and particulate matter (10–100 microns) using Keyence digital microscopy for engineering evaluation. Build inner and outer coil-wound tubing assemblies using lathes, wire, Kapton tape, PTFE film, and heat shrink, followed by oven curing to ensure structural integrity. Perform precision assembly of catheter components under microscope magnification, maintaining tight tolerances and high product quality. Apply adhesives and cure materials using UV systems and digital dispensing equipment for repeatable bonding. Operate Formlabs 3D printers to prototype components and produce custom testing fixtures, designing optimized fixtures in Onshape CAD to improve assembly and testing efficiency. Support final device assembly and QPI inspections to verify compliance with quality standards. Document and organize test data to support engineering analysis, validation, and process improvement, and utilize hand tools, pneumatic systems, and electrical systems to support assembly and testing operations. Inspect components and assemblies for defects to maintain strict medical device quality and regulatory standards.

Assembled precision medical device components in a controlled cleanroom environment, ensuring strict adherence to manufacturing protocols and safety standards. Worked under a microscope using tweezers, surgical blades, and soldering irons to maintain exacting tolerances. Utilized gauges and measuring tools to verify component accuracy, and operated ultrasonic cleaners and hot boxes to support assembly and quality processes. Focused on maintaining high product integrity while collaborating with team members to meet production and validation goals.

Assembled high-precision seat systems for Model S and Model X vehicles, including installation of reclining mechanisms, seat control modules, airbags, and seat heaters. Operated torque wrenches, electric hoists, drills, and hand tools to ensure accurate assembly while maintaining strict adherence to production standards and safety protocols. Focused on quality, efficiency, and consistent output in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, while collaborating effectively with team members to meet production goals.
