Summary
As a Systems Engineer I at MesoScale Diagnostics, I have worked on every part of an instrument's life cycle. From prototype systems under development to implementing improvements to instruments in the field.
Experience
- Contributed to Product Requirements Documents (PRD), Systems Design Specifications (SyDS), Verification Plans and Reports (MDVPR and DVPR), Validation Plans and Reports (MDVALPR and VALPR), etc.
- Utilized OGP, laser cutter, and other available equipment
- Developed Python tool kit for development testing of prototype MSD instruments with OpenCV image analysis capabilities
- Participated in design reviews
- Worked with suppliers to evaluate OEM products
- Designed parts in SolidWorks to address critical issues
- Closed an open Corrective And Preventative Action (CAPA). Completed root cause analysis including injection mold analysis; designed and prototyped solutions; then led verification and validation testing in collaboration with multiple departments within a 6 month time period
- Conducted market research and presented visualization of results
- Aided in legal analysis and in generating a freedom to operate (FTO) opinion
- Spearheaded weekly dashboarding of critical plate and instrument manufacturing data using Python, R, and D3.js. Key deliverables are quantification of manufacturing downtime and identification of issue with first article cameras
Collaborations
- Field service: Developed python applet to assist Field Service Engineers when verifying the instrument configuration
- Field service: developed an interactive Shiny application in R to parse field service tickets previously stored in Excel
- Consumables Manufacturing: developed python applications that can track metrics over time by scraping assembly reports from at least three internal sources. For visualization, developed an interactive D3 web application
