Background

About Elliott A.

Dynamic leader experienced in driving structural, mechanical, electrical, optical, and systems product design, testing, and manufacturing that decreases product development time and cost, reduces risk, and advances customer adoption. My core competencies are designing, developing, testing, and manufacturing opto-electro-mechanical systems for various industries, e.g, medical devices, electronics and sensors for defense, capital equipment, and automated production lines. I have led cross-functional teams in delivering innovative solutions for kidney dialysis, surgical tools, respiratory ventilators, microfluidic devices, tunable lasers, and MEMS sensors. I have also applied quality and reliability engineering principles, statistical analysis, process improvement, and automation to ensure high performance and safety standards. I demonstrated strong management skills and led various devices, production equipment, and other opto-electro-mechanical design and development projects to effective completion. This includes project scoping and development, performing risk assessments, client management, project and workload scheduling, forecasting and tracking, budgeting, vendor management, quality control, process design, and supervision. I have two professional engineering licenses in mechanical and electrical engineering in the State of California, and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania. At Alber Technologies, my expertise in process engineering and biotech automation has been pivotal in advancing mechanical, electrical, and optical development processes. The cross-functional teams I've led have been instrumental in transitioning concepts to high-volume manufacturing. My in-depth knowledge of robotics and automation has also been applied to defense projects, where I designed night vision cameras and improved manufacturing processes for the IVAC project. The technical and managerial skills honed over the years enable me to foresee production needs, streamline processes, and contribute to impactful engineering solutions. Examples of my achievements include: • Reengineered product to outperform competitor, gained significant contract. • Reduced product manufacturing cost 80% through design simplification and full automation. • Achieved packaging miniaturization of novel cold-atom optics sensors. • Accomplished beneficial personnel restructure supporting productivity and sales. • Mentored high school and undergraduate interns; developed expertise and insights afforded enhanced job-finding abilities.
