Experience

• Product Design Engineer Happiest Baby · Full-time May 2017 – May 2023 6 yrs Los Angeles, CA, United States • Design
  o Mechanical lead on simultaneous multiple projects of varying sizes and complexities, including smart bassinet (200k+ life time), noise machines, and baby scales.
  o Designed and optimized geometry and material selection maintaining same weight as original product despite 18% increase in size. Used FEA analysis to increase part strength by 50% with minimal material increase.
  o Maximized the survivability of electronics, including piezo sensors, microphones, speakers, PCBAs etc., by developing housing, mounting, and isolation solutions resulting in a 90% success rate in drop testing.
  o Collaborated with cross-functional teams to achieve design balance, incorporating feedback from software, AI, electrical, operations, soft goods, industrial design, marketing, and executive leadership.
  o Mentored new engineer team members in their daily tasks, and provided training to improve their skills and knowledge speeding up engineering drawing outputs and test reports by 20%.
  • Testing
  o Developed and implemented rigorous test procedures, including temperature cycling, vibration, shock testing, and more, to assess long-term product durability and performance.
  o Optimized structural integrity and performance post test results using FEA and material selection techniques leading to 95% reduction in shipping failures during DVT/PVT builds.
  • Manufacturing
  o Traveled to and collaborated with contract manufacturers (CM) in Asia and Central America to streamline production processes, sourced high-quality parts, and conducted first article inspections to ensure quality standards were met for mass production.
  o Maintained continuous communication with CM system, industrial, and quality engineers using DFMA and assembly line flow optimization during high-volume production ramp up reduction in assembly time 15%
• Sustaining Mechanical Engineer Happiest Baby · Full-time Sep 2017 – May 2018 8 mos Los Angeles, CA, United States • Optimized Snoo refurbishment time by approximately 50% through designing, prototyping, and implementing running design changes.
  • Collaborated with quality assurance (QA) and OEM technicians to diagnose potential issues, formalizing findings through CAPA and 8D reporting.
  • Achieved a 54% reduction in product failure/return rates by conducting root cause analysis testing for BLDC motor mechanical failures.
  • Managed open Engineering Change Orders (ECO), CAPAs, production schedule, and inventory levels during travel to China. Conducted vendor/supplier audits for potential new partnerships.
