Glue Machine/Balloon Molding Work Cell
 Designed layout, tables, and process flow documents in coordination with Kimberly-Clark senior engineer
 Fabricated entire manufacturing cell using 80/20 profiles; exposed to electrical schematics, wiring, and piping
 Work cell was approved by engineering staff and implemented into multiple manufacturing facilities
Medical-Grade Balloon Clamp
 Designed pneumatically operated clamp to ensure slicing accuracy
 Assessed and fabricated 3D-printed prototypes prior to finalizing aluminum and steel design
 Designed and 3D-printed air flow adapter tool to limit material usage
ENGINEERING PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Biomedical Engineering Senior Design Team | Sponsor: Medtronic, Inc. | Houghton, MI | Sept 2014 – May 2015
Project Goal: Design fixation system to attach leadless pacemaker for new minimally invasive pacing technology
 Worked with Principal Scientist, Matthew Bonner, in weekly meetings assessing designs and project progress
 Used SolidWorks to model top design concepts and prototyped concepts using store bought components
 Developed test protocols comparing fixation strength, stability, and efficacy across four design concepts
 Built testing apparatus securing tissue for deployment and removal of device using tensile test machine
 Evaluated test results using SAS JMP data analysis software ultimately supporting recommended final design
