Daily activities are highly varied. Some days will be focused forward creating concept sketches and time and cost estimates for design deliverables. Some days will be focused on current design tasks, reviewing partner designs, running thermal and stress analysis, creating and reviewing tolerance loops, and structuring bills of materials. Some days will be system focused, reviewing interactions between optical and electrical components with enclosure and heatsink structures. Other days will be spent looking to the past, reviewing prototype builds, beta tests, product builds and launches, pilot launches, and field failures. Most days will be a mix of all of the above.
