I’ve managed and executed many high-profile, custom design projects. Just like individual stage design, system level design requires an engineer to balance and analyze the pros and cons of all project variables. Not only are you thinking about the individual sub-assembly mechanics, you must also be thinking about manufacturability, aesthetics, cable routing, testing methodology, testing feasibility, control systems, amplifier selection, process equipment integration, and cost. My detailed engineering experience from stage mechanics to controllers to testing allows me to accurately make decisions in all areas simultaneously.
My goal in any system design project is not to just meet a list of specifications but to also ensure the application works. I don’t apply a serial thought process of mechanics design then figure out how to test the system. I think in parallel after I understand the specifications and the application details. With my detailed knowledge in all areas of motion systems, I look to bring efficiency to the design process and effectiveness to the final product.
