  Ametek, Laserage

  Nov 2016 - Nov 2021

  Product Development Engineer

  I am a problem solver. Self driven, meticulous, and focused on big picture results. I drive projects from the start through open dialog with customers by offering solutions for manufacturability. I perform prototype development, create fixtures and fixture concepts, and build processes for successful validation efforts. I am frequently selected to take on the most challenging and high profile projects due to my proven capabilities and successes. My feeling is that they also provide the best opportunities to grow my knowledge. I am a resource to other Engineers even those exceeding my years of experience. With a deep understanding of laser welding and cutting, and many other highly technical competencies, results often come more quickly than expected.I effectively communicate with others at all levels of my organization. I work closely with Engineers, Technicians, and production personnel.I have developed multiple projects at a time for some of the largest and most well known medical device OEMs. Show less
