Cheng-Kai Hsiung: in Tonawanda, NY

• Developed the oxygen purge monitor with IP (International Protection) rating standard enclosure and worked through DFM challenges in insert molding with plastic and rubber components for water and dust resistant • Completed the water-soluble products resulting in more than 50% in product cost saving and accelerating the water-soluble rate by more than 20%, responsible for product development, issue resolution and supplier sourcing • Conducted production facilities with machine vendors in evaluating manufacturability and quality control; coordinated the manufacturing process for water-soluble products resulting in 10% cycle time reduction and quality enhancement

Developed the consumer products in stained glass industry from concept, prototype to production; designed injection molding, machining, sheet metal parts effectively applying principles of DFM, DFMA and tolerance analysis in 3D models; evaluated the concept through prototype building to advance the design involving the manufacturing process consideration throughout the development stages

• Designed the standard pitch bar for the Chip-On-Glass (COG) equipment in manufacturing Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to improve precision of bounding pitches and decrease cycle time of model exchange • Developed the common tray concept to standardize various trays in any LCD models for transferring models between different equipment to fully automate production lines

• Developed and strategically configured mechanical structures of laptop (Dell) to meet reliability and safety requirements; proposed competitive configurations to meet customer requirements • Analyzed performances under various loading conditions and performed reliability tests to enhance laptop design • Perfected mechanical structures and validated manufacturing process for mass-production • Compiled and managed documentation of design improvements to guide future projects

• Executed and improved printer product design to address customer requests; coordinated among customers and suppliers for volume production • Analyzed the results of evaluation test and determined the root causes of system issues; resolved the lack of pressure issue in cap forces for printers at development stage of new product • Conducted mechanical tests and analyzed resulting data to evaluate prototype of printers • Awarded one US patent in associated design for multi-function printer

• Managed automated production lines and layout to manufacture cell phone components; designed, assembled and tested automation mechanisms upon coordination of cross-functional teams and vendors • Accomplished one automated production line resulted in 25% cycle time reduction and 50% manpower saving
