David W. Bian is a Optomechanical Engineer at KLA at KLA. He possess expertise in mechanical engineering, engineering, solidworks, product design, cad and 17 more skills. He is proficient in French. Colleagues describe him as "David reported to me during his first 3 years at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. He is a versatile and adaptable engineer who seeks to challenge himself in every way. David has excelled across multiple assignments within Air to Ground Missile Systems in addition to seeking out new experiences in unfamiliar areas such as other programs and corporate innovation initiatives, consistently receiving positive feedback from his teammates and leaders.
David is a natural problem solver, repeatedly demonstrating an ability to recognize potential problems and drive resolution regardless of engineering discipline or function. This is fueled by a strong level of engagement I’ve observed in his roles ranging from mechanical design, production operations, new hire services, and systems integration and test.
In addition to a demonstrated technical acumen, David has the valued skill of thoughtful communication and ability to cultivate effective, cross-functional working relationships with other people at all levels. He is able to anticipate and distill important information, and present it in an easy-to-understand way whether in daily interactions or customer facing, senior management level presentations.
David demonstrated this when a supplier solely contacted him with advance notice of an imminent 6-month production delay of a project-critical component also used by other programs. David recognized the potential significance, notified the appropriate stakeholders, provided recommended solutions to mitigate the potential impact, and drove resolution. His focus on always cultivating effective working relationships contributed directly to mitigating significant impacts.
One of David’s responsibilities included managing the hardware integration and build of an initial prototype unit. David recognized the project’s significant, cross-functional nature, identified necessary stakeholders, and ensured the stakeholders were brought into the process early on. He earned their buy-in by explaining the program and what their role would be while also developing a rapport with each and every one of them.
David is a guaranteed asset to any team lucky enough to have him. He has my highest recommendation for a role or combination of roles in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Project Engineering, or Technical Leadership.

Lockheed Martin", "David brings a great positive attitude, high energy, and a strong drive for perfection in every task that he performs. David has worked for me on a fast-paced and challenging program at Lockheed Martin for the past 2 years.
David has shown his versatility and adaptability by performing roles as a Mechanical Engineer as well as Systems Test and stepping in where he is needed. Any task that is thrown David's way - he takes it on and works it to completion. David is also a team player who has shown he can work alongside all types of personalities.
As a Mechanical Engineer, David has demonstrated his ability to design, document through drawings, and support hardware build with hands-on experience. Through this role, David has gained experience with opto-mechanical components with an understanding of how they fit into the system. From drawing to build, David understands the process and what is needed to make paper become reality.
Most recently, David stretched himself to learn more about Systems Test, specifically Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing. David researched and learned more about EMI, planned and executed the customer-witnessed test event, identified focus areas, and has documented it thoroughly through his test reporting. Additionally, David did a great job presenting the test planning to senior management as well as the customer. Although Systems Test was new for David, he was able to demonstrate his ability to quickly learn and execute where the team needed him.
I would highly recommend David Bian for a role in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Project Engineering. David’s skills and ability to step out of his comfort zone has led the team to continue to move the needle, and we are thankful for his contributions.

Systems Engineering Manager
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control", and "David worked with me at Lockheed Martin for close to a year. In that time David impressed me thoroughly. He took on tasks with positivity and proved to be incredibly reliable. He took ownership of tasks that were assigned to him, as well as others that he sought out independently. I would recommend David to any team - very versatile, technically strong, and an overall great guy to work beside."
Listed skills include Mechanical Engineering, Engineering, Solidworks, Product Design, and 18 others.
