Angled Measuring Cup Retool

I will not take credit for designing the original product, but I did retool it.

As the lead engineer, I oversaw retooling OXO's complete line of flagship angled measuring cups at a secondary supplier facility. This initiative aimed to reduce dependency on a single manufacturing location. Responsibilities included evaluating first samples, troubleshooting tooling issues, creating calibration fixtures, and managing multiple SKU variations.

The product line encompasses four cup sizes across five distinct markets, requiring duplication of existing tooling and manufacturing processes at a facility hundreds of miles away — ultimately managing 20 different SKUs.
