Summary
Alva Liang is an associate technical project manager and bioengineer with eight years of experience translating biomedical research into validated medical-device solutions. They have driven instrument calibration programs to ISO/IEC 17025 standards, led verification and validation campaigns that accelerated time-to-market by ~40%, and managed cross-functional technical requirements for liquid-handling platforms. Comfortable on the bench and in project plans, Alva combines lab automation, liquid-class development, and ELN administration with rapid prototyping skills (CAD, 3D printing, laser cutting) applied to prosthetics and exoskeletons. They’ve scaled calibration workflows with Python, MATLAB, and automation macros to cut process times by orders of magnitude and mentored teams in troubleshooting and operator training across global sites. Based in New York, Alva also runs a custom fabrication small business, demonstrating entrepreneurial agility alongside corporate delivery. Notably, their background blends hands-on device development and regulatory-focused systems work, making them effective at bridging engineering, quality, and customer-facing deployment.
