Design and Development of JavaSkinz™ Supporting a start up company Performance Testing: Hot & Iced Coffee
Design and Development of a product to make coffee hotter longer. FAILED attempt at crowd source funding on KICKSTARTER, raised $3,261 of $9,500 needed for mass production. Post Kickstarter company, Nova Solutions LLC, brought on investors.
Hot Coffee: 60% longer, Cold Coffee: 66% longer.
Packaging Prototypes:
Manufacturing Cost Reduction:
Metallic foil was cheaper and gave an enhanced performance appearance due to its reflectivity. Soft goods went from a Velcro wrap around to a slip on product. Additionally sewing in a zig-zag requires less manual labor and gives a greater quality to the product. Average total savings of 60% per unit. Jesse Radzikowski Š 2014
Goal: Allow the packaging to communicate the use of the product. e: jlr1325@rit.edu

Personal Projects: Color Organ Enhancing music with visual stimulation Description: Using an electrical circuit to emulate the pulse of a musical frequency into light.
How: Through the use of operational amplifier, op amp, I was able to generate a circuit to split the frequency of sound and apply it to any type of light source compatible with a standard US plug.
Future: Developing same circuit principles of this circuit to place in the top of a Voss bottle. Have the colours, frequency and intensity controlled via an app through blue tooth connectivity.

3-POINT BENDING FATIGUE TESTER Dynamic Material Testing Device: “Green Machine”
Original Design:
Due to the 10 week time constraint to design, fabricate, verify and validate the original design was not fabricated. The College of Applied Science and Technology allowed our team to use the “Green Machine” due to its resemblance to our original design. In return the College will now use the Fatigue tester for Engineering classes.
Electrical:
Constraints:
Roller End Constraints
Pinned End Constraints
Fixed End Constraints
*Team consisting of Jesse Radzikowski, Alice Watts, Steve Brown, Nick Ryan, Mike Rodriguez, Taylor Osmonson & Harhsil Sukhadia completed this project over a course of a 10 week quarter term.

Learning Curve: Learned quick time management skills to lead a team properly and split tasks appropriately. One hour before the event an error in my program allowed double necessary current to pulse through the electronics burning up the contactor. “Unofficial” run time would have won competition, beating our University Electric Vehicle Club who took first place.

Fisher-Price™ Internship Product Development Engineer Cross Collaborated with various Engineering, Industrial Design and Marketing teams to come up with new toy innovations.
New Product Development: I designed a new phone case for the laugh and learn apptivity monkey. The case allowed for non iPhone to be used. There is a small market for apple products which would fit into this toy. The larger market share of other smart phones would result in greater sales of this product. The case also twisted into the doll, thus when the phone was not in use with the toy the case could be taken off for use as a normal plush toy.
Product Modifications:
Designed the Stroller Activity Pal clip. Market research was done at a local Toys R Us to obtain the testing parameters to ensure the design of the clip would match various stroller types and function properly.
The bath toy was having trouble properly flipping through the water. Used various weight distribution and holes inside the toy to make it function properly. Pooh bear would not properly push down, required large force. Modified interior of product so that the arms would go into the toy. Placed internal guides for arms to avoid pinching.
*Due to confidentiality I am only at liberty to discuss various projects, Sketches, brain storming & process . These pictures represent, some but not all, products I worked on while interning at Fisher-Price™, in the summer of 2013, which are now on the market for purchase.

Personal Projects: Yamaha Coaster & RIT Chocolate Bar Yamaha Coaster: Used JPG image to design Yamaha symbol in Auto Desk Inventor. Imported model into Edgecam where I programmed the proper tools, paths, feeds and speeds to to generate a computer numerical control (CNC) code for the CNC mill.
RIT Chocolate Bar: CAD model > 3D Printed model> Thermoformed mold > Chocolate Bar. Designed Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) chocolate bar. Desired a design which repressed RIT properly. RIT is known as “Brick City” for having over 15,615,000 bricks used throughout the campus. To incorporate the sense and style of the University the back of the chocolate bar represents the bricks, the tiger paw represents the mascot (Tiger) and of course the school abbreviation of RIT.

Design Thinking & Concept Development Shopping and the Aging Population Prototype built from easy assessable materials making it quick to modify.
Solution: Product which allows for easy transportation of groceries.
Approach:
SolidWorks Rendering to demonstrate ability to collapse and fold into smaller foot print for transportation.
IDEATION:
Sketch's of handles and cart.
Market research into the needs of elderly consumers. The major issue being mobility and the lack of service or physical ability to assist in bringing the bags to the vehicle or bus stop.
Ideation:
Various handles which could clip on walker to assist with carrying bags. Also personal small carts which can be used to wheel around store as well as in the parking lot to the vehicle or bus.
Final Design:
Dolly which holds multiple bags with minimal physical strength to transport.
