Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Shortt is a Principal Manufacturing Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and releasing automation, disposable kits, and complex electro-mechanical systems for regulated medical and high-reliability industries. He combines hands-on CAD and tooling expertise with program management skills—leading technology transfers, vendor qualification, DOE, PFMEA, and ISO/FDA-compliant documentation—to get products from prototype to high-volume production. Steve has led NPI and low-cost-region transfers across domestic and international contract manufacturers, improving yields, PPH and KPI metrics while negotiating OEM contracts and optimizing quality systems. His background spans blood aphaeresis, glucose monitoring, and radiation oncology devices, and he’s comfortable managing both facility-level layouts and detailed ASTM/USP/IEC testing protocols. Notably, he bridges automation design and regulatory strategy, having supported an FDA EUA submission and established domestic manufacturing sources from complex international supply chains. Based in San Jose, he pairs Lean/Green Belt methods with pragmatic engineering to lower cost and risk in regulated manufacturing.
