Background

About Bob Baldino

I’m an engineering leader passionate about building systems, tools, and teams that accelerate innovation. Over the past 14+ years at Resonetics, I’ve grown from hands-on laser applications engineering into leading strategic, cross-functional initiatives within the Lightspeed Lab — where advanced prototyping, automation, and digital transformation meet high-performance medical-device manufacturing.My career blends deep technical expertise in ultrafast laser applications with a strong focus on process improvement, automation, and scalable engineering workflows. I’ve led teams, mentored engineers, built customer-facing solutions, and delivered tools that reduce friction across development cycles — from quoting to prototyping to full-scale manufacturing.Today, as Director of Strategic Projects, I focus on shaping and delivering high-impact initiatives that strengthen Resonetics’ technology ecosystem. This includes developing intelligent internal tools using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Apps, SharePoint, and AI (including ChatGPT integrations), as well as architecting data-driven solutions that improve material selection, quoting speed, and laser-processing feasibility.Core Strengths • Leadership, coaching, and team development • Strategic project execution across engineering, R&D, and operations • Ultrafast laser applications, laser ablation, and advanced manufacturing • Digital transformation: Power Apps, SharePoint, Copilot Studio, automation • AI-assisted engineering and process optimization • Customer communication, RFQ & attribute based pricing system development, and cross-functional collaboration • Problem-solving and system-level thinking
