Vehicle Body Structures

Vision Products

• Spearheaded the development, sourcing, and project management of a customer-facing sheet metal alarms product, increasing projected annual profit by $440 000• Proposed and implemented solution to resolve critical heat-transfer problem, resulting in improved temperature reading accuracy by 30%• Designed and built a reliability cycle testing fixture to validate products at over 30 000 cycles• Liaised with overseas vendors to negotiate price and lead-times, resulting in 20% additional cost savings from initial quote

• Led cross-functional meetings with JDM, CMF, and manufacturing teams to drive delivery for all components relating to the liftgate on the Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle• Conducted benchmarking studies on competitor vehicles for concept development of Canoo Pickup Truck tailgate

• Ideated and developed steering wheel tilt mechanism constrained by aerobody packaging, accomodating up to ±8cm in vertical adjustment for driver comfort• Performed FEA analysis to drive design iterations of steering components while accounting for worst-case loading scenarios

• Developed a test fixture for high precision force-displacement measurements (±5um); led from DOE to documentation and testing• Accelerated early-phase product development of a surgical robot through metastudies of research papers and standards• Utilized in-house rapid prototyping machines (SLA, FDM, vacuum forming) to realize concepts for function validation and iteration

• Conceptualized and developed injection molded sub-system; eliminated unique parts for ambidexterity and improved ergonomics by working with designers• Utilized surface modelling tools to design plastic and metal parts for shower applications and created corresponding engineering drawings for release• Generated a math model based on extrusion profile mass data to validate design changes; resulted in a subassembly weight reduction by 15%• Conducted tolerance analysis with kinematic models and presented recommendations for improving tolerance fit to senior engineers; integrated changes to BOM• Streamlined inspection process for incoming parts by automating histogram creation, reducing human error and time spent per release by up to 1 day per inspection

• Carried out concept ideation, prototyping/testing, machining, and assembly for an active suspension demonstration platform • Provided in-person training and fabrication design consultation on 3D printers, laser-cutters, and CNC benchtop mills for 100+ university students• Designed parts for additive manufacturability with FDM & SLA by following techniques to reduce warpage, including use of ribs, channels, and cores
