About Scott Bahl
I am a passionate Mechanical & Robotics Engineer with extensive experience in product design, development, and manufacturing, specializing in advanced haptic controllers for surgical robots. Currently, I lead subsystem development at Johnson & Johnson, managing cross-functional efforts to create innovative solutions, improve product lifespan, and optimize manufacturing processes. My expertise spans the full product development lifecycle, from early concepting to production. I excel in integrating electromechanical components, collaborating across disciplines, and streamlining production workflows. With a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, I thrive on transforming complex ideas into functional, reliable products.
Experience
Senior Mechanical Engineer, R & d Human-robot Interface Team
Jun 2022 — Present · Santa Clara, CA, US
Managed subsystem development across the full product development cycle, within the human-robot interface team of the surgical robotics division• Led cross-functional efforts to develop 3 haptic robotic joints for a 7-DOF robot arm• Created prototypes through rapid prototyping and refined designs via testing and characterization• Designed a wide range of plastic and metal parts for high-volume production via CNC, sheet metal, and injection molding• Developed a product life test; increased the mechanical assembly’s lifespan by 20x through iterative testing• Collaborated with electrical engineers to package rigid and flex PCBAs in tight cosmetic enclosures per industrial design• Characterized rotary encoders, photo-interrupts, and hall sensors to aid in product component selection• Redesigned a mechanical assembly using DFM/DFA principles, reducing manufacturing and assembly costs by 40%• Developed assembly processes and fixtures, created MPIs, and trained technicians to improve yield and efficiency• Performed statistical tolerance analyses• Created drawings using functional dimensioning with GD & T per ASME Y14.5• Performed FEA simulations to reduce mass by 20% in a highly loaded assembly• Worked with external vendors to develop manufacturing and inspection processes for complex metal and plastic parts
