New Product Development Intern (R&D) @ CooperSurgical, Inc

Contributed to multiple FDA-compliant medical device projects within CooperSurgical’s cutting-edge R&D and NPD division. Worked cross-functionally with design, systems, and manufacturing teams to support electromechanical development, reliability validation, and design-for-manufacturing.

Most notably, I initiated and prototyped Auto Integra—a "fly-by-wire" ICSI micromanipulator add-on that introduced submicron precision, advanced segmentation, manual override, and seamless integration into IVF workflows. The system was demoed at an internal summit and received continued investment for commercialization.

I also redesigned thermal and airflow modules, optimized Neodymium magnet placement for hall-sensor systems, and developed test rigs for system-level V&V. Authored bench protocols, contributed to usability studies, and supported packaging for Class III fertility devices. These experiences provided hands-on exposure to clinical-grade engineering and next-gen IVF technology.
