Experienced Product Development Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in product development and R&D. Skilled in Solid Edge, Solid Works, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and integral product development processes. Strong engineering professional with a Bachelor in Engineering and Design focused on Industrial Product Development, with good and broad knowledge of manufacturing.
In my role as an Innovation Architect, I transform strategic business goals into impactful innovations and groundbreaking products that redefine solar mounting solutions. By combining creativity, strategy, and engineering, I push the boundaries of innovation, focusing on identifying high-potential opportunities both within and beyond our portfolio. With a strong emphasis on disruptive innovations, I conceptualize transformative ideas and build clear paths from concept to implementation, shaping the future of solar energy. Key Areas of Focus: • 🌟 Trend Development: Transforming trends and opportunities into actionable projects with sufficient maturity for product development. • 💡 Conceptual Innovation: Generating ideas for rapid, incremental innovations as well as large-scale, disruptive developments. • 🛠️ Process Design: Crafting and refining innovation processes and roadmaps that align strategic vision with operational excellence. • 🌱 Sustainable Solutions: Developing transformative solutions to address major industry challenges while driving sustainable growth. Driven by a passion for meaningful change, I leverage design tools, digital techniques, rapid prototyping, and AI-driven insights to bring bold ideas to life. My mission is to craft innovations that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. Together with my team, I transform ideas into solutions that challenge conventions, disrupt the status quo, and pave the way for sustainable growth.
My responsibilities included: Review the mechanical requirements for products, modules and components to be developed and give feedback regarding feasibility Develop mechanical concepts in line with the requirements and safeguard the functionality, performance, costs, quality, reliability, safety and produce-ability of products, modules and components, using techniques like DfSS, Value Engineering, tolerance analysis, DfA and FMEA Document technical specifications into a complete Technical Product Documentation and support the release of components, modules and of the total product Ensure consistency of mechanical solutions within and if possible beyond application clusters (standardization and rationalization of technical solutions) Contribute to improvement of the existing product portfolio e.g. by supporting competition and benchmarking activities, by reviewing technological knowledge generated by other Philips departments or suppliers and by keeping up to date with technological trends and staying in touch with front end innovation activities
I was involved in the development of a wide array of consumer products from idea to mass production. Because of the diversity of the projects I worked with a large variety of materials and production techniques.
