Work Experience
Biomedical Engineer II — NovaHealth Diagnostics
Boston, MA | July 2023 – Present
- Led the electromechanical redesign of a class II wearable telemetry device, reducing casing volume by 18% while enhancing thermal dissipation by 12%.
- Directed verification and validation (V&V) protocols for 4 implantable sensors, reducing overall testing cycle time by 22 days and saving $45,000 in lab overhead.
- Authored 3 FDA 510(k) technical file submissions under ISO 13485 guidelines, leading to clearance for all 3 devices within an average of 95 days from filing.
- Coordinated with a cross-functional team of 6 firmware and manufacturing engineers to resolve 14 device risk anomalies using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
Associate Biomedical Engineer — Apex BioTech Solutions
Worcester, MA | June 2021 – June 2023
- Developed custom MATLAB algorithms to filter noise from biometric signals, improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 26% across 5 patient monitoring systems.
- Conducted tensile and stress tests on 12 bio-material prototypes using Instron testers, resulting in the identification of a polymer blend that boosted shear strength by 15%.
- Executed IQ/OQ/PQ protocols for 3 new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments, reducing equipment onboarding downtime by 30% over 6 months.
- Assisted in the risk assessment documentation for a new surgical robotics actuator, mapping 28 potential failure modes to reduce development engineering changes by 19%.
