• Independently designed and executed a multi-condition environmental chamber investigation into field failures of the Perth Axio 4 validator at elevated temperatures. Identified that PCB temperatures exceeded safe limits by up to 10°C with the back plate installed; delivered a formal report with root cause analysis and three actionable design recommendations.
• Designed and carried out a 55kg static pull-out test on the Nexio docking unit, identifying permanent plate deformation under peak load and flagging a structural design concern for engineering review.
• Conducted a 500-cycle operational durability test on the Nexio locking mechanism, confirming full functional integrity with only cosmetic surface wear after 500 operations.
• Produced a formal Engineering Sample Inspection Report (ESIR) for the Nexio Dock Plate (Rev E), performing dimensional inspection against drawing tolerances — all criteria accepted.
• Travelled to Warwick to oversee and manage formal vibration qualification testing of the Nexio Multi Application Driver Terminal.
