EVC: Typical Pharmaceutical Projects



  • Was member of a team designing portable test equipment for a pharmaceutical equipment manufacturer. Responsibilities included building a series of prototypes, component selection and supervising the integration of the electronic, pneumatic and mechanical subsystems. The entire device was simulated with a 3-D CAD model. A few years later I was brought back to be part of the team that was designing the next generation of the instrument.
  • Worked with another consultant to develop a proof-of-concept touch-screen device for a pharmaceutical company.
  • Integrated the above touch-screen prototype with an existing drug-delivery device to produce working demonstration units equipped with touch-screen.
  • Was part of a team that wrote and/or modified firmware and software for several pieces of medical R&D laboratory instrumentation.
  • Participated on the software review panel for a manufacturer of medical clinical devices.
  • Wrote software modules for production test of pharmaceutical equipment.
  • Analyzed a medical suturing device in the pre-production phase to identify causes of inconsistent calibration.
  • Modified various medical electronic devices for clinical research projects for a medical device manufacturer.
  • Designed and built hardware and controls for several different assembly and filling machines for a manufacturer of medical instrument consumables.
  • Troubleshoot and repair pharmaceutical equipment test devices that client's regular repair technicians were unable to diagnose.
  • Other industries.
