As an integral member of an exciting and growing start-up company, I have had the pleasure to work intimately with executive and senior members of the engineering, operations, marketing and sales teams in an effort to launch our newest highly advanced LED based linear architectural luminaire. This experience has provided me with the opportunity to hone my skills and knowledge including global approbations requirements, design for high volume manufacturing, project planning and scheduling, resolving production and assembly issues, test systems, communicating and working closely with a tier one contract manufacturer and presenting weekly updates to upper management. Working in a small team environment has allowed me to gain extensive leadership experience in all phases of product development from R&D through launch and with an extremely aggressive time to market timeline. • Senior Engineer responsible for all mechanical design, documentation, and validation activities.• Key member in developing Product Design Process and Checklist• Key member in developing Product Design Validation test plan• Manage team of six remote (Hong Kong) and one local mechanical engineers ensuring design processes and checks are followed• Lead DFA/DFM and cross functional design reviews• Lead problem solving and brainstorming activities• Check assembly/part designs and drawings for accuracy• Engage with executive level cross functional team members in strategic decision-making• Worked closely with Operations team in setting up high volume production line at CM including assembly process, automatic test equipment, burn-in racks, assembly jigs and fixtures• Travelled internationally to validate first off tool parts and collaborate with suppliers to resolve manufacturing issues• Used SolidWorks to create part/assembly models, simulations, drawings and bills of materials.• Set up and implemented Workgroup PDM to ensure proper data management, file sharing and revision control
