Principal Design Engineer
-
May 2018 - Jun 2019
-Employed rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing, and CNC to quickly validate form/functionality.-Performed QA testing, including mobile UX/UI testing, wireless range testing, and sensor performance testing. -Optimized design for DFM and compliance.-Boosted production volume and reduced assembly time by streamlining damper design.-Increased revenue by designing and introducing several user-friendly, affordable products.During my tenure I was able to design, manufacture and market three successful products. The first was a complex clock spring driven, adjustable bypass damper. The second was a cost effective ventilation damper. The third was a complex IoT Zoning System comprised of several components from an integrated thermostat, damper sensor, HVAC control unit and WiFi Gateway. I designed all enclosures, packaging, and mechanical components using SolidWorks. I also designed all wireframes and HiFi prototypes for both the mobile application and capacitive touch tft interface of the thermostat using Figma. I used illustrator and Canva to design the instruction manuals, and I even designed the logo for the new product line called "BLISS". Designing an IoT product can be a challenging objective. This experience has allowed me to further develop my skills in rapid prototyping, sourcing contract manufactures, user testing, QA, all the way through product marketing and supply chain management.

Jul 2016 - May 2018
This was a great hands on learning experience, where I was exposed to many facets of the product lifecycle, from factory operations to supply chain management. I drafted assembly procedures, SolidWorks models, and used a CNC machine. In addition to engineering efforts, I conducted market research and voice of customer interviews.

For my mechatronics class I was paired with a partner and tasked to design a robot that could navigate an obstacle course, eject different colored marbles from a dispenser, sort them by color and then deliver them to the appropriate bin. This course was a great learning experience that not only sharpened my technical skills, but taught me a valuable lessons such as team collaboration, critical problem solving, and schedule management.

Sep 2011 - Aug 2016
Developed strong design fundamentals and drafting skills in programs such as AutoCad, SolidWorks, and Rhino. I completed a personal design project using AutoCad to created a variation of the Acura car symbol. I then used a 3D slicing software to convert my design into a g-code format and 3D print it.
