Applied Medical Manufacturing Intern


  • Designed automated End-of-Arm-Tooling on robotic arms for vertically integrated and fully autonomous part manufacturing process.
  • Engineered and machined test fixtures in Solidworks for part production and assembly, quality control testing, and insert/injection molding manufacturing processes.
  • Developed inspection methods and documented specification testing procedures to detect, correct, and prevent manufacturing errors.
  • Reduced part failures from 50% to 12 − 15% with improved test fixtures and inspection procedures, saving thousands of dollars in labor hours and overall production cost while drastically reducing material waste.
  • Collaborated cross-functionally with engineers and regulatory bodies to ensure designs meet production and regulatory requirements
