Andreas Mehne

Responsible for the user experience of digital products for life safety protection and occupational hygiene I collaborated with globally distributed developers and a design team of six in an Agile/Scrum framework:
- Wireframed asset management and alert notification components of large-scale PC software platform
- Delivered screens and visual design specs for a mobile-app proof-of-concept for physiology monitoring
- User-tested UI simulation for BW Clip detector, documented UI specs and saw through implementation
- Presented project to Honeywell User Experience inaugural conference at Scottsdale AZ, Nov 2013
- Developed IA, screen flow, mockup and complete design specifications for the IntelliDoX docking system
- Contributed to Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions' design language strategy

With a continuing education certificate completed on my own initiative, I moved into a project manager role to develop the organisational skills needed to coordinate other product development disciplines.

This I achieved through several challenging assignments as BW Technologies was acquired by Honeywell:

- Worked with stakeholders to author requirement specifications for a new product introduction
- Developed industrial design concept and led team of four through implementation to product launch
- Led multiple sustaining engineering projects in parallel, with two staff, prioritising by risk and revenue
- Arbitrated priority conflicts through successful rapport with marketing and operations leaders
- Enabled reliably scheduled end-of-line circuit test device delivery by manufacturing engineering

During attrition periods I assisted with backfill-hiring two industrial designers and one technical editor.

Following prior consultancy work, my switch to an in-house design position allowed me to acquire substantial gas detection domain expertise and lean manufacturing knowledge.
- Created industrial design for one of the most ergonomic and compact gas detectors still on the market
- Conceptualised modular dock system for automated detector test, calibration and data exchange
- Defined UI specs for several gas detectors-later returning to this pursuit as technology evolved

New to Calgary I worked on projects for startup clients at this consulting firm based locally and in Québec City.

In the product definition group of Cambridge Consultants Ltd I designed, with increasing levels of responsibility, medical, telecommunication and mobile electronics products for clients like Orange, Siemens and Raab Karcher, and earned a 1999 Medical Design Excellence Award for Unipath’s Clearplan monitor.

After graduation I assisted partnership Cre’active on medical products for Keeler Ltd, Bayer, and Boehringer Ingelheim, telecom infrastructure (Nokia, Ionica) and public transit (Hong Kong – Guangdong Express).
