San Francisco, California, United States
My work is a unique blend between HW product management and product design engineering. I am the product lead on development of Opus, a complex electromechanical coffee grinder, and have been responsible for bringing it from concept all the way to its recent mass market launch in February 2023. I am also a primary PD engineer on another product in development, the Aiden Precision Coffee maker, launching September 2024.
My general work responsibilities include market + user research, concept generation, mechanical design, prototyping and HW validation, part modeling and drawing creation, schedule management, and overseeing the engineering workstreams for multiple ME, EE, and FW engineers. I also interface frequently with our eng/ops teams in China as well as the sales/marketing/engineering/mfg units of the CM responsible for the manufacturing of my product.
