MesoSystems BioCapture 650
Under an aggressive project timelines, manage and coordinate the Stratos product development activities of a fully integrated, multi-disciplined design and engineering team as well as facilitate communications between Stratos, the Meso Marketing team, and the Meso R&D team.
Management of the project required clear communication to assure a mutual understanding of expectations betweens all participants throughout the development lifecycle. Proactive coordination of the multidisciplinary Stratos team ensured tight development timelines while maintaining the highest quality of design. The Stratos team’s subject expertise included human factors, usability, industrial design, electronic packaging, electro-mechanical systems, digital and analog electronics, firmware development, bio-compatibility, optics, fluidics, and design for manufacturing.
A detailed requirement specification and development plan were created in an initial Planning phase as the foundation for the program. Development activities over the following eight-month duration also included product architecture, concept development, bench-top critical sub-system testing, detailed design development, and functional prototype testing.
Project management of the program followed Stratos methodology to meet specifications, schedule objectives, and budgetary targets. This methodology incorporates best practice techniques including weekly meetings and status reporting, issue prioritization and resolution, pro-active risk identification and mitigation, and design review and assessment gates.
