Rizwan Qureshi

- Collaborated in dynamic, cross-functional teams to bring the Cadiere grasper (5000+ successful surgeries) to market, ensuring adherence to stringent medical device regulations (ISO 13485). - Designed complex mechanical and electromechanical assemblies (SolidWorks), creating detailed manufacturing drawings, and rapidly iterating prototypes (3D Printing). - Led and contributed to projects aimed at improving instrument reliability and performance, utilising data-driven approaches like Design of Experiments (DoE) and creating custom test rigs for rigorous validation. - Collaborated extensively with multi-disciplinary teams (Regulatory, Biocompatibility, Quality) to support New Product Introduction (NPI), manage engineering changes, and ensure designs were optimized for manufacturability (DFM). - Developed comprehensive technical documentation (V&V plans, test protocols, Requirements Specifications, DFMEA) compliant with medical device standards (ISO 13485 & FDA CFR 820.30). - Championed process improvements, such as automating BOM comparisons with VBA/Macros to enhance team efficiency.

- Successful NPI: Supported the first-ever UK build of V8 & V12 engines by creating robust project schedules (Gantt charts) and coordinating a parts layout event, recognized with a Fresh Thinking Award. - Efficient Change Management: Managed critical engineering updates for over 630 prototype engines, ensuring seamless implementation and 100% customer order fulfillment across Germany, Austria, and the US. - System Enhancement: Improved transparency and usability of project management systems (handling over £3 million in projects) by developing intuitive SharePoint and Power BI dashboards.

Work Experience at Barclays Insight Week.

I spent 1 week shadowing ENT consultant Dr Ahmed.

Work Placement at Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd.

- Final Year Project: Designed, fabricated (3D printing), and tested a novel origami soft robotic manipulator, achieving a 20% performance improvement over published literature and contributing to 2 upcoming publications. - Mars Rover Project: Led technical feasibility studies (FEA, vibration testing) and designed the rover body (SolidWorks) as part of a multi-disciplinary team, taking the concept through to a manufactured and tested prototype. - Core Modules: Gained in-depth knowledge in Mechatronics, Design & Manufacture, Machine Dynamics & Vibrations, and Robotics, equipping me with strong skills in CAD, FEA, prototyping, and systems analysis.
