Brad M.

My multidisciplinary skillset is fueled by my passion for exploration and discovery. My proficiency in mechanical design, electronics, firmware and software enables me to move quickly from problem statement to solution, whether that is a prototype or a production level system. Fabrication, Prototyping and Manufacturing: • Proficient in CAD/Optical modeling software including SOLIDWORKS, Onshape, AutoCAD LT, Rhino, xDesign and TracePro • Mechanical prototyping of product, fixtures, and production equipment using lathe, milling machine, laser cutter, FDM and SLA printers • Design and integration of sensors, actuators, pumps, microcontrollers and touchscreens into 3D printed, sheet metal and laser cut demo units • Optics design and manufacturing • Vacuum forming - worked on difficult to form substrates • Injection molding - high volume, precision and optical • PCB - SMT and THT soldering, board bring-up and debug Science: • Designed and built a system to capture and extract biomarkers from human breath • Designed and built a microfluidic chip to passively separate plasma from whole blood • Designed an injection moldable, multi-reagent blister analytical cartridge for a bio-sensing application • Built investor demo units that showcased the current state of technology while simulating where the technology could evolve • Supported science team members by creating fixtures to assist with day-to-day activities • Worked with multiple analytes including urine, breath and blood Medical Devices: • Designed / improved existing designs of single use and re-sterilized medical devices • Process optimization for high volume medical manufacturing • Design for sterilization, including adhesives, materials and packaging • EtO, steam and radiation sterilization / validation • Bioburden controls / clean room specification and monitoring • Regulatory Affairs Advanced Research : • Coding - C | C++ | Python | Awk | Matlab | Batch | Axum • 3D Spatial Measurement Systems - design, testing and optimization • Experimental design, execution, data processing and report generation to solve large and complex optical metrology problems
