Talk Details:

Presenter: Braden Ta’ala, Vice President of Engineering, ATL Medical

Braden leads global engineering strategy and execution for regulated medical device development and manufacturing programs. With experience spanning aerospace, consumer products, and MedTech, he focuses on building scalable engineering systems that hold up in real-world production—not just early-stage design.

 

What You’ll Learn

  • Why miniaturization efforts often break down during scale-up
  • How to design for manufacturability and testability from day one
  • Where regulatory thinking needs to be integrated earlier
  • Real-world approaches across catheter design, imaging, and fine wire systems
