Summary
Marco Guzman is a results-driven engineer with 8+ years bridging electromechanical hardware, consumables, and automation for medical and industrial systems, now based in San Diego. He has led cross-functional teams from concept through commercialization, repeatedly cutting costs and accelerating time-to-market—most notably redesigning a flagship instrument to reduce unit cost by 30%. Deep expertise spans surface science, injection-molded consumables, precision tooling, and system integration under regulated frameworks (ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820), with hands-on experience in DFM, FEA, DOE, and statistical process control. Marco blends practical manufacturing savvy (DFM, 1-D tolerance stacks, jig design) with lab automation and CDMO partnerships to scale complex biochemistry workflows into robust instruments. A former math teacher turned developer-engineer, he pairs analytical rigor with clear communication and a knack for inventing measurement techniques (e.g., interferometry and femtosecond laser surface treatments) to solve tight-tolerance problems.
