EXPERIENCE

ROBRADY DESIGN Sarasota, FL June 2013 – Dec 2013 Contract

Mechanical Designer: Utilized Pro/Engineer Creo Parametric 2.0 for design and development of the

new Vectrix electric scooter. Design involved taking the industrial design surface files and creating

3D parametric solid models of the outer skins and all the joint interfaces of each panel with all the

mounting features to attach to the frame of the Vectrix scooter. The job also involved prototyping of

all panels for verification of the fit and assembly to the frame.

MAKO SURGICAL CORP. Fort Lauderdale, FL June 2007 – Feb 2013

Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer: Managed the collaboration design with Farm Inc. to introduce a

proprietary, interactive robotic system for surgeons treating people with early to mid-stage

osteoarthritis of the knee. Helped create an ergonomic design solution that allows surgeons

complete freedom of movement of the robotic arm, providing seamless interaction and manipulation

during replacement procedures while also accommodating the size variations of users and patients.

Responsibilities included: design and resurfacing in SolidWorks 2013 for all exterior parts of the RIO

and various different end effectors cutting systems, designs for partial knee, total knee, hip and other

procedures.

CISCO COMPANY Atlanta, GA Mar 2006 – June 2007 Contract

Mechanical Designer: Design consumer home systems including HD, DVR, SD cable boxes and

cable modems. Design involved heavy sheet metal, plastic, electronic packaging and component

layout all utilizing Pro/ENGINEER WILDFIRE 3.0.

CardioMEMS, Inc. Atlanta, GA Jan 2004 – Dec 2005 Contract

Design Consultant of Product Development: Utilized SolidWorks for designer of a RF handheld

clinical monitor for tracking wireless vascular implants. Designed conceptual and final product,

formed in plastic housing. Designed and packaged computer system to withstand daily clinical use.

Novoste Inc. Norcross, GA Dec 1998 – Nov 2003

Staff Designer of Product Development & Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks Administrator: Lead designer

of a handheld, fluid powered transfer device that transports beta radiation source trains through a

catheter for vascular brachytherapy procedures. Design included complex 3D sculpted surface of

outer housing, and rechargeable battery pack. Device included a locking mechanical mechanism to

safely interlock the radiation cartridges with the catheter and a directional lever.

SPECTRX Norcross, GA Feb 1995 – Oct 1998

Electrical/Mechanical Packaging SR Designer & Pro/ENGINEER Administrator: Designed a non-

invasive diabetes screening analyzer and a non-invasive bilirubin analyzer device. Design included

custom plastic piece, part of complex 3D sculpted surface geometry. The unit also included a

stamped sheet metal chassis and bracketing for structural integrity to support X, Y, Z, stages and

precision mechanical mechanism design to support optical mounting interfaces as well as a custom

foam facial support with an adjustable chin rest. For the bilirubin analyzer layout and design of

custom LCD display module attached, custom elastomeric keypad with mylar domes for tactile feel,

flex circuits and IRDA interface to peripheral devices. Also designed the injection molded plastic

housing using DFMA techniques/snap fits for ease of assembly and to minimize fasteners.

EMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Norcross, GA Dec 1994 – May 1995 Contract

Electrical/Mechanical Packaging Designer: Utilized SolidEdge modeling system and ANSI -Y14.5

dimensioning standards for design and detail of electrical/mechanical Microwave Satellite

Technology. Design drafted complex electrical/mechanical packaging enclosure’s, satellite

microwave antennas, and machined part assemblies.

MILES Diagnostics, (BAYER Diagnostics) Tarrytown, NY Oct 1994 – Dec 1994 Contract

Electrical/Mechanical Packaging Designer: Developed a drafting standard of on-screen menus for

MicroStation Modeler & Solidedge that controls level structure, text and dimension height and line

symbology per scale of drawing formats for working in U.S. standard or metric units. Utilized CAD for

drafting fully automated blood chemistry analyzer used in hospitals and commercial laboratories.

Linvatec, (Subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company), Largo, FL Feb 1993 – Oct 1994 Contract

Electrical/Mechanical Packaging Designer: Utilized EMS 2.2 3D solid modeling system and ANSI -
