Vision Products

San Mateo, California, United States

• 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

Torrance, California, United States

• 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

Waterloo, ON

• 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

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

• 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

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

• 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

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

• 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
