Hardware Systems / Mechanical Designer
Shipped 1M+ Surface devices | 0→1 space hardware PI | DFM/DFA, FA, GR&R/CPK | Asia CMs/JDMs
2020–Present | Mechanical Design Engineer
Owned batteries, antennas, haptics, FPC/PCB, soft goods & enclosure modules from concept to PVT; shipped 1M+ units. Built and validated stack‑ups (GR&R/CPK across key dims) to hit cosmetic/functional gaps. Led DFM/DFA and failure analysis with Asia CMs/JDMs.
2023 | Principal Investigator
Led a 30‑person, NASA‑sponsored CubeSat from concept to flight; launched to LEO on SpaceX CRS-27.
Modeled the spacecraft in SolidWorks and designed multilayer PCBs (OBC, solar arrays, HV xenon flash payload). First satellite the public could command to flash visibly from Earth.
2020 | Co-author
Performed thermal/power/orbital analyses in MATLAB/STK and authored CONOPS for “Q4,” a four‑CubeSat swarm demonstrating omni‑directional Gbps laser cross‑links using JPL’s ISOC terminal.
2019 | Lead Mechanical & Systems Engineer
Architected an LV‑compliant primary structure and led satellite assembly/integration; ran structural & modal FEA (ANSYS). Executed vibration & TVAC campaigns; closed findings with design updates. Launched to LEO aboard Cygnus NG‑12.
2018 | Co-author
Co‑designed a bio‑hybrid rover whose cellulose body can grow, self‑heal, and fold into shape; demonstrated at IEEE IFETC 2018 as the first “growable” robotics proof‑of‑concept.
