Experience

WMG, The University of Warwick

Research Engineer - April 2008 - Present
As a Research Engineer studying on the Engineering Doctorate I have defined a three-dimensional range of motion benchmark for the hip joint. This benchmark has been used to assess the effectiveness of a modular femoral neck hip prosthesis in preventing dislocation in a randomised controlled trial. The work has allowed human motion to be used to realistically assess those conditions which pose a risk of impingement and dislocation.

During my time as a Research Engineer I have also provided consultancy to international companies particularly in India. Developed an MSc module on Dimensional Measurement and supervised MSc projects.

Project Engineer - September 2003 - March 2008
As a Project Engineer, I provided engineering consultancy to manufacturers within the UK with regard to product quality. Specifically, improving product geometry through defining and interpreting measurement information and integrating a customer product audit methodology into quality processes. My work assisted many businesses and delivered significant socio-economic impact, generating over 70 Learning Opportunities, £2 million value added for manufacturers and over £500,000 Research and Development investment.

Technical Apprentice / Dimensional Analysis Engineer - September 1998 - August 2003
As a Dimensional Analysis Engineer, I was responsible for the dimensional measurement laboratory activities for the Land Rover product lines. Also, I headed the Variability Reduction Team for these products, whose activities included resolution activities for six-sigma projects, continuous improvement and calibration of assembly tooling and gauges. I also received a recognition award for my work developing a measurement reporting system for the launch of the New Range Rover vehicle.
