Build and operate an AI-native platform spanning Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, identity, networking, security, compliance, observability, and cost management. Develop reusable platform modules, delivery pipelines, policy gates, isolated client environments, and AI development tooling. Lead through hands-on engineering, architecture decisions, design reviews, migrations, documentation, and developer enablement while ensuring reliability, security, and measurable developer outcomes.

Develop and calibrate embedded real-time controls for a Formula 1 internal combustion engine, including air path, fuel, spark, combustion, torque, and thermal systems. Support model-based development, MATLAB/Simulink simulation, dyno and test-bench validation, HiL/DiL testing, data analysis, software development, system integration, FIA compliance, and trackside troubleshooting during race events.

Own mechanical subsystems for a robotic platform from concept through production. Design, analyze, prototype, test, and validate systems using SolidWorks, FEA, kinematics, dynamics, and tolerance analysis. Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers on DFM, fixtures, assembly processes, NPI, and production transfer. Troubleshoot manufacturing and field issues, drive root-cause resolution, and collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, controls, product, and operations teams.

Leads mechanical hardware development for autonomous vehicles from design and testing through production. Responsibilities include designing and validating vehicle hardware, creating specifications and procedures, coordinating subsystems and contract manufacturers, conducting design reviews, producing manufacturing-ready parts and BOMs, managing engineering changes, and ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

Supports the full systems engineering lifecycle, including hardware and software integration, installation, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, maintenance, decommissioning, and quality assurance. Installs and terminates fiber and CAT-5/6 cabling, tests fiber with optical power meters and OTDRs, maintains network infrastructure, and repairs Dell servers. Collaborates with users, customers, and engineering teams in mission-focused environments.

Leads architecture, design, development, integration, testing, and implementation of complex Java/J2EE enterprise applications and interfaces. Partners with business owners and technical teams, reviews code and designs, guides development standards, manages Oracle database architecture, supports web services and SOA integrations, analyzes risks and dependencies, and coordinates releases, testing, and stakeholder communications across multiple projects.

Designs and develops new and existing products and manufacturing processes, from concept generation through validation. Creates 3D models, mechanical drawings, prototypes, specifications, and engineering documentation. Selects materials, evaluates suppliers, supports cost analysis, facilitates design reviews, and resolves quality issues. Collaborates with product management, manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, and suppliers while managing multiple medium- and large-scope projects. Applies QFD, continuous improvement, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and 5S practices.

Designs and develops medical-device hardware using mechanical CAD, sheet metal design, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and prototype fabrication. Creates engineering documentation, conducts DFMEA, interfaces with customers and suppliers, supports testing and production startup, and transfers products to manufacturing. Requires familiarity with medical-device regulations, tooling and welding processes, technical presentations, and hands-on fabrication. Travel to customer, supplier, and application sites is required.
