• DHF remediation ensuring compliance to 14971 and understanding the required changes in transitioning from MDD to EU MDR (Regulation EU 2017/745); utilizing post market hazard analysis in conjunction with clinical effects analysis as inputs into the risk management process;  HHA (health hazard analysis). 
• Lead for CAPA validations, generated and coordinated the execution of design change plans, Process Validation Plans, test method validations, Quality checks, and tooling qualifications.
• Lead validation activities for Biotech Pallsep including master validation plan (IQ, OQ, PQ) as well as test method validation planning and execution. Developed project schedule and responsible for updates.
• Lead facilities validation of purified water system and quality lab cleaning equipment (IQ, OQ, PQ). Developed project schedule and responsible for updates.
• Lead validation of annealing ovens across worldwide facilities, including training and execution (IQ, OQ, PQ)
• Developed and implemented bi-weekly statistical trend analysis report into the CAPA process to resolve FDA 483 warning letter concerns. 
• Lead and tracked DMR activities for biotech pallsep including DHF support.
• Trained engineers (Tijuana, California, Puerto Rico, England and New York) on DMAIC methods and trend analysis.
• Technical writing of all necessary documentation. 

• Lead external partner (located in Switzerland) in all subsystem teams (barcode reading, blood sample handling, agglutination card assessment, incubator, centrifuge, and agglutination card transport between subsystems) of an automated immunohematology analyzer to get them back on schedule. Resulting in a timely product launch of the Ortho-Vision analyzer. 
• Lead Systems Integration and Product Development teams in the areas of Verification and validation of automated clinical chemistry and transfusion medicine systems - Class II Medical Devices. Team Leader for Therakos division system investigations. Developed test methods and verification plans. Risk based sample size determination for Verification and Validation execution. Generated documents in support of DHF.
• Lead commercial biotech Pallsep validation and overall DHF activities.
• Utilized Stage Gate and Six Sigma Black Belt champion principles to assess & communicate the manufacturing process control and capability of 193nm ARF high purity fused silica (HPFS) resulting in delivery ($1.3MM) of qualified prototype product to customers in U.S., Japan, and Germany.
• Managed creation, implementation and continuous monitoring of quality systems improvements.
• Technical manager abrasive water jet for Dynamic Lightweight Mirror (DLM) program.
• Managed facilities and abrasive water jet process capital improvements.
• Lead technology transfer of abrasive water jet pocket milling technology from vendor to Kodak.
• Managed ISO13485 & ISO14971 compliant verification & validation plan and execution activities in support of DHF.
• Improved the Low Temperature Fusion (ULE glass) Mirror assembly process reliability by 25% by designing new and modifying existing equipment for a ($4MM project).
• Increased equipment utilization from 25%-75% via Kaizen. Designed process fixtures and specified waste handling equipment for production ready capability ($1MM savings). 
• Implemented project management in an FDA regulated environment, KT analysis, TOPS, and Gemba to integrate FEA with PDMP process for improved metal and plastic injection molded product resulting in $50K- $300k savings.
• Participated in cross function teams including Marketing, Research and Development, Product Engineering, Prototyping, Design, and Quality and as a team we developed VOC surveys to assess the needs of the customer against future product designs.
