• Provided client with an organized design history file, including records of inventions, calculations, and design changes for a newly developed medical connector
• Identified and resolved project critical paths before engaging team resources, thus negating a hiring decision that was envisioned by client
• Dramatically reduced time-to-market for a new electromechanical product family by parallel-starting component designs and tool builds, circumventing critical paths
• Reduced anticipated development costs (dollars, resources, time) for a new product by substituting a simulation analysis step in place of multiple "prototype-build-test" cycles
