The challenge: A medical device startup was developing a novel surgical device combining optics, sensors, illumination, and precision mechanics — with a small team and startup timelines. They needed a mechanical design lead who could own everything from system architecture to the last vendor purchase order.

What we delivered: System architecture and requirements — helping translate clinical needs into engineering requirements. All opto-mechanical design: every assembly and component in the device, including optics mounting, illumination, sensor integration, and structural packaging.

Team leadership: managed a cross-functional team of optical, electrical, and software engineers plus an industrial designer, keeping design decisions coordinated across disciplines. Vendor and supply management: ran all quoting and ordering for custom equipment — optics, 3D-printed parts, CNC-machined components, and sheet metal — and managed every vendor relationship through delivery.

The skills involved: Opto-mechanical assembly design, medical device development, system architecture, cross-functional team management, vendor management, design for manufacturing.
