Background

About David Schroeder

I am an inquisitive, analytical engineer with hands-on experience working with cross-functional teams and customers to prototype, design, develop, manufacture, and deploy new products. I offer an exceptional background in leading complex engineering projects to drive forward automation initiatives, R&D, innovation, and next-generation engineering solutions.As a passionate problem solver, I truly enjoy diving into new challenges and building robust processes, tools, testing methods, components, and engineering designs.I also offer expertise in mechanical design optimization, prototyping, new material qualification, manufacturing processes, and much more. Having built both hardware, software, and cloud-based solutions, I am eager to continue owning product lifecycle management to bring unique products to market.CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Design, prototype, and manufacture complex electro-mechanical systems, including an abdominal dressing mechanism for fascial closure and food supply tracking, authentication, and feedback system. Effectively manage complex projects, working with customers and vendors within manufacturing environments to evaluate, assemble, test, and deploy mechanical and RF products and solutions. Transitioned mechanical design, testing, and prototype validation process in-house, shaping the development of the current product line, reducing complexity and driving significant cost savings, customer adoption, and scalability. Served as mechanical engineer, designing CAD levels ranging from test-fixtures to production drawings; created mechanical prototypes to enhance hardware products, including mounting and deployment.
