Have architected platform systems with high levels of interdependency and complexity.

Experience relating to mechatronic testing plans to advise teams, including DAQs, load cells, torque transducers, pressure transducers, thermocouples, strain gauges, and others.

Strong expertise with hardware verification,  risk assessments, sensitivity analysis, gap analysis, training other technical staff as needed for aforementioned tools.

Experience accelerating development cycles measurably with systems tools.
