Mechanical Design Engineer

Creative & Design

Designed stirrer system to shorten 35% height and solve bubble

issues by magnets, DC motors, microprocessor and 3D printers.
• Innovated and automated fraction collectors for the drug-testing
device with 80 percent cost saving by 3D printers, micro-controller,
stepper motors, and Aluminum extrusion assemblies.
• Fabricated fixture for fraction collector to fix position of outflow
tubes and 96 well plates by 3D printers.
• Devised PID temperature control chamber for animal brain surgery
under different temperatures.

Invented a method for gauging the height of exit burrs with an
estimated 43% of time and costs saving.
• Generated 3D modeling of opto-mechanical components and

assemblies in Solidworks and Keyshot to visualize conception.
• Conducted Finite Element Analysis by ANSYS to validate the design.
• Evaluated the manufacturability and material selection on a
0.25-inch scale.
• Performed burr-height approximation via implementation of Hough Transform in OpenCV.

Mechanical Engineer

Utilized the DMAIC methodology to perform the Design of Experiments (DOE) to study the feasibility of ultrasonic equipment
removal in the manufacturing process, with an estimated $78,000
annual saving.
• Applied t-test analysis to validate the quality performance of 1000
sheets of glasses.
• Maintained high-level collaboration and swift communication with cross-functional teams (QA, production engineer, and manager teams) to facilitate the mass production line's risk assessment.

Mechanical Engineer Intern

Employed 4M1E methodology to investigate the root cause
analysis of the high-defected rate of gears that occurred during the CNC machining process.
• Proposed statistical process control (SPC) employment to enhance
the manufacturing process efficiency and predict cutting-tool life.
• Awarded first place in the final internship presentation.
