Zaic Design was founded in 2013 with a mission to provide aesthetically appealing design solutions to engineering teams developing precision scientific instruments. Precision instruments present unique product design challenges. They may require a chassis with special rigidity, a light-tight enclosure, active thermal management, eye-safety measures, or a completely unique user interface. Taking these types of technical requirements into consideration while retaining attractive design elements is what we do best.

Lead Industrial Designer for new Datacolor productsLead Mechanical Engineer for Suzhou product development teamLed US-Chinese R&D team collaborationWorked with local molding, CNC, and sheet metal vendors to leverage their specific strengths and manufacturing expertise early in the product development process, to ease transition from R&D into manufacturing.

Served as lead Mechanical Engineer on several flagship projects. Researched solutions to solve challenging issues across a range of development projects. Interfaced directly with sheet metal, injection molding and machining vendors to ensure on time delivery of quality prototypes to meet firm project deadlines.

Worked with optical and electrical engineers to design and build a compact USB-powered Raman spectrometer with an integrated optical probe. Designed and implemented optical alignment stations for a successful new line of high-power, VBG stabilized laser products. Worked closely with sales to adapt existing PD-LD technology to accommodate a variety of legacy products, helping to expand PD-LD’s product line.Introduced process improvements by designing improved tooling, which cut manufacturing time and improved yields
