•
World’s first notebook with Edge Touch TM
•
First Dell notebook with seamless display cover
•
Tablet XT-Took over lead mechanical engineering role during first critical months of
•
development. Drove key decisions among marketing, industrial design, and engineering that
optimized size, weight, performance, and manufacturability goals.
Tablet XT Media/Battery Slice-Developed and implemented dampened latching mechanism that
•
became the model for slices and docks going forward.
Mechanical Development Engineer, 2000-2006
Collaborated with cross functional teams from concept to mass production for various products.
Generated conceptual proposals. Performed cost analysis, weight and form factor analysis, scheduling,
documentation, tolerance analysis, and stress analysis using ProMechanica. Conducted reliability testing,
shock and vibration testing, electro-magnetic compatibility testing and supervised tooling and
manufacturing. Designed and maintained various mass produced parts and assemblies as part of in-house
design team. Interfaced directly with suppliers for manufacturability considerations and negotiating
critical to function feature tolerances. Generated control drawings, reviewed, and signed off on first
article inspections.
