About Vinay Prathapan
Mechanical design engineer with extensive professional experience in designing electro-mechanical systems, assemblages and components for new product development.Subject Matter Expert for critical microfluidic, ultra-precision (micron to sub-micron positioning) opto-mechanical and structural components of industry-leading medical diagnostic instruments. Designed flow cells for imaging micron-scale particles in automated blood and urine microscopy instruments, including associated actuation mechanisms to modify and control focal plane positions. Developed manufacturing process plans, converting prototype devices to manufacturable, mass-producible designs.Designed precise, steerable titanium wire-based mechanical tools to simplify service and repair of fluidic components. Extensively utilized additive manufacturing (Polyjet and FDM in particular) and conventional (subtractive) machining techniques for accelerated product development, taking advantage of the combination of both processes for cost-critical development programs and applications.Designed and prototyped mechanical structural sub-assemblies, including sheet metal and injection molded parts. Utilized Finite Element Analysis (SolidWorks Professional Simulation) to improve design functionality.Organized and completed Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) investigations on current product lines; developed and completed implementation plans and effectiveness checks of corrective actions and the associated documentation to conform to FDA guidelines. Utilized Danaher Business System (DBS) techniques, Problem Solving Processes (PSPs) to drive open CAPAs to completion under the role of Plan Responsible Person (PRP).
