QT Sense Scientific-Instrument Mechatronics
Three instrument subsystems: a filter changer at >95% lower cost, sub-microliter liquid handling, and an FEA-backed enclosure at half the lead time.
Three subsystems for a scientific instrument, each with a hard constraint.
I redesigned the optical filter changer for manufacturability at over 95% lower cost; built an automated sub-microliter liquid-handling system integrating a peristaltic pump with a PI piezo XY stage (10 nm sensor resolution); and led a tower-enclosure redesign backed by structural and modal FEA and DFM that cut lead time by more than half.
