About V. Lalo Ruiz
I excel in building, mentoring, and leading cross functional engineering product development teams. I have contributed to securing funding for two startups, executed successful product development strategies, and led a private company to a successful acquisition. I successfully brought products from concept to production release while at the same time growing the team and formalizing the product development process. I am proficient in teaming with operations to ensure successful NPI’s with domestic and Asian suppliers. In addition, I have expertise in dynamics, control system design, mechatronics, structural design, precision mechanism design and simulation, GD & T and ASME Y14.5. I maintain my technical skills sharp knowing that to be an effective leader, I must also be a technical resource and mentor to the team. Innovation, productivity, and quality are all improved when the team members feel they are getting more out of a job than just a paycheck.
