WORK EXPERIENCE:

Support Engineer

Align Technology, Santa Clara, CA 10/2009 – 08/2011

As Support Engineer, I was contracted by the Technology Development Department to create a full engineering documentation package for a thermoforming machine in a FDA-regulated environment. The main task was to create a company standard for engineering documentation for equipment designed and developed by the company.

•Researched and selected relevant software packages used for mechanical, electrical and pneumatic documentation

•Developed a full package of documentation for thermoforming machine, including

oMechanical set – created using SolidWorks

oElectrical and pneumatic set – created using AutoCAD Electrical

oRequired manuals and procedures

•Assisted R&D department with creation of an environmental chamber for their existing device, FMA (force measurement apparatus)

oCommunicated with client to document existing problems and enhancement requests

oResearched technologies on the market and vendors

oCreated a design concept document which could be used for the manufacture of the prototype

Division of Science Intern

American Dental Association, Chicago, IL 07/2008 – 12/2008

As Division of Science Intern, I was involved in design and testing of lab equipment used for evaluation of various dental products, such as electric handpieces (dental tool) and polishing systems (designed for removal of excess materials). My main project was the creation of the Polishing Systems Testing Apparatus (PSTA), which allowed comparing polishing systems from different manufacturers under standardized, clinically-relevant conditions.

•Designed, modeled and created engineering drawings for custom mechanical components using SolidWorks

•Designed and assembled electronic control system (sensors, actuators, etc)

•Retrofitted existing measuring instruments (glossmeter and profilometer) and used ActiveX for control

•Created LabVIEW GUI for data collection

•Conducted performance testing of the prototype

•Performed statistical analysis and data interpretation

•Assisted with submission of patent documentation(co-inventor of Apparatus And Methods For Testing The Polishability Of Materials)

Engineer Intern

DFine Inc., Cupertino, CA 05/2006 – 12/2006

As Engineer Intern, I was involved in creating a delivery system for bone cement used in percutaneous vertebroplasty. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an image-guided, nonsurgical therapy used to strengthen a vertebra that has been weakened by osteoporosis, multiple myeloma, trauma or sometimes, cancer. Vertebroplasty is accomplished by injecting an orthopedic cement mixture through a needle into the fractured bone. DFine created a unique delivery system and bone cement and was going through 510(k) testing prior to successful clinical trials. I was involved with testing every component of the delivery system per approved protocols and ASTM/ISO standards. I have

•Conducted experiments in lab setting per ASTM/ISO standards: materials testing on the bone cement (such as tension, compression, fatigue, set temperature, etc).

•Analyzed data using statistical analysis

•Maintained a lab notebook

•Presented results in team meetings and engineering reports

•Conducted validation testing in compliance with regulatory requirements

Lab Assistant, Physics Department

University of Pacific, Stockton, CA 08/2005 – 05/2008

As a lab assistant for the Physics Department, I was responsible for conducting General Physics labs. I have

•Set up necessary equipment for faculty and student use

•Answered student questions

AWARDS/ACTIVITIES:

•Tau Beta Pi (Engineering Honors Society) 05/2006 – Present

oHeld positions of President and Vice President

•SWE (Society of Women Engineers) 09/2004 – Present

oParticipated in SWE Team Tech, a design competition in which multi disciplinary teams of engineering students work with an industry advisor on a year-long project and then present the results at a National Conference.

o1st place in Team Tech Competition at National Conference for design and fabrication of speech augmentation device for a man with cerebral palsy
