Oscar J. Acosta

With over 25 years professional experience on the aeronautic, pharmaceutical and medical industries and great results that include NRC IRAP and SR&ED led projects, ISO 13485, FDA and Health Canada certifications and a Master of Science by Thesis on Materials Science for medical and biomedical applications and a Bachelor or Science on Product Design and Engineering with a major on ergonomics and human factors on design and engineering and a minor on manufacturing processes.

I am curious, creative, open minded, and science driven always looking for optimal result on every project that I undertake, from conception to insertion to market. I have designed from jet engine combustion chambers to supersonic rotors for power generation to sterile chambers for drug compounding to surgical instrumentation and body implants from Type Ia to type IIIc.

My compromise is with quality and ethical results to meet the customers' most demanding requirements.
