I’m most excited to see new medical devices where TE Medical’s component offerings and manufacturing capabilities can help enable devices to provide better patient outcomes and care.
Tommy joined TE because he wants to make a positive impact on medical devices that improve patient care and to work with a great team of colleagues who also strive to do the same.
Why did you choose to join TE? What makes you stay here?
First, I'm working for a business that is making an impact on enabling better patient treatment and care. Second, TE’s culture and management provide me with the support I need to perform my duties in the best interest of our customers.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love being in the field, working with customers and internal teams to solve complex problems or innovate new medical component ideas.
What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on at TE?
A device that requires an extremely tight tolerance for delivering cryogenic gases for pain treatment. It’s something that could not be achieved with traditional machining in a cost-effective way. We developed a creative solution that satisfied our customer’s requirements.
What are the biggest challenges customers face?
Medical devices OEMs are always pushing boundaries by developing smaller devices, requiring tighter tolerances, faster cycle times, and prototyping speeds. At TE Medical, we strive to have the newest capabilities and technologies to meet these demanding applications. We keep up with customer demands by offering simulation labs, PROPELUS Prototype Centers, and stay current on the newest manufacturing technologies.
What personal traits are essential for today’s engineering challenges?
Engineers must have a strong interest in learning new methods and working with other experts. These two traits are essential to innovate.
What types of engineering changes do you expect to see over the next five years?
I think AI is going to have a big impact on how we do things in every aspect of engineering because it extracts relevant information from an “infinite/growing” database to predict, optimize, manage, and create concepts that incorporate all the requirements needed. This means there will potentially be faster development, less errors, less iterations, less testing, and less design time.
How does TE approach innovation, in a way that directly translates to the solutions we provide to customers?
TE looks ahead to understand what challenges the market and medical device OEMs are facing/requiring. From customer, sales/engineering, and marketing feedback, we create technology roadmaps that aim to provide innovation before others even start, such as sensors for smart devices, PFAS free products, micromachining, etc.
