At Ximedica, I was part of the small laparoscopic instruments team on a large surgical robotics project. My main contribution

• Improved prototype design through lens with a focus on ability to be cleaned and sterilized between surgeries.  Created functional test protocols, oversaw execution of testing at external vendor, analyzed results and redesigned parts and assemblies.

• Redesigned all components for mass manufacturing processes including metal injection molding, plastic injection molding, and high precision machining.

• Selected materials and worked with vendors to create custom plastics to meet requirements such as biocompatibility, high lubricity, and wear resistance.

• Created the instrument assembly process including design and fabrication of fixturing.
