E lectrical Engineer Peachtree City, GA M ay 2012 – Nov 2012
Supported new product launch through Design Review and onsite preproduction build
support at manufacture facilities. Provided technical guidance to less experienced
engineers. Conducted test on design changes (new SW, re-f lash and new HW release).
A nalyzed manufacture test data and generated statistical reports, recommended
solutions for quality process improvement.
Created infotainment product systems level functional testing procedures and
software re-f lash process verification check points for new SW release.
Successfully launched global project (GM Color Radio) Model Year 14, which
carried major hardware and software design changes.
Engaged in deep debug and t roubleshoot product related issues pre and post
l aunch, and feedback to design engineers (SW and HW) on the potential design
issues.
Participated in researches for error-proofing product testing and process
verification systems.
Systems Engineer Peachtree City, GA Feb 2011 – May 2012
D irect liaison between customer and Panasonic development teams on automotive
i nfotainment systems specifications. T he owner of technical product documents for
manufacture. The owner of product change orders release. Direct contact person with
design verification teams on new software and hardware validation and testing issues.
Evaluated and verified product design specifications from customer, and then
assigned the implementable specifications to design teams (SW and HW).
Contacted customer for specifications further clarification and update.
Generated production Software Release Note, EEPROM calibration, SW/HW
Modification, Manufacture Requirement Document etc., technical documents,
and maintained their updates in the PLM system for factories use.
In tegrated production design changes, and to ini tiate Change Orders
(DCO/ECO/PCN/Dev) in Agile/PLM system for factories (in China, Mexico and
Czech Republic etc.) use.
Performed initial analysis for software and hardware issues/defects reported by
customer, Panasonic manufacture facilities and validation teams, and then
assigned valid issues to appropriate software and hardware teams for
resolutions.
Performed systems level functional and perimeter testing for new software
release.
E lectrical Engineer Peachtree City, GA J une, 2010 – Feb 2011
Root cause analysis for customer production line return and market return products.
Found root cause and generated detailed defective reports on returned
automotive i nfotainment systems.
Prepared GM PPAP documents and submitted into GM G lobal Quality Tacking
System for customer approval.

E lectrical Engineer Dalian, China Jan 2005 – Feb 2009
As a main technical liaison between Panasonic manufacture in China and Panasonic
design center in US for new projects launch. S tudied and summarized technical product
documents and generated New Product Launch manufacture documents. Participated
t rainings on new product design in design center. Coordinated and managed zenbara,
p reproduction, Run at Rate etc. customer audit activities. Participated lean manufacture
activities with manufacture engineers and quality engineers. Core contributor on
w r it ing product process f low chart, production control plan, process FMEA, Working
I nstructions etc., APQP documents. Evaluated and supervised build of material Change
O rders for correctly and quickly implementation in manufacture. Participated weekly
conference calls with management and design teams in US design center to support
ongoing activities.
Involved in more than 15 OEM new projects launch, including Japanese designed
p roducts and US designed products.
Successfully launched and mass production two large scale projects (Black Tie for
G M, XM tuner for GM and Toyota) and one global project (Global A for GM global
market) in Asia, NA and EU.
Continuously improved the infotainment product design and systems
performance through root cause analysis for production defects to component
level, and through assisting design engineers with bench test and data collection
on design issues.
Improved efficiency of production line testing (automated and manually) through
working with manufacture engineering team on equipment set up and testing
p rocedure changes, and through working with design engineers on product
Common Specification test methods update based on the better manufacture
verification purpose.
Recipient of Panasonic, China “QC Improvement Individual” award for reducing
manufacturing quality cost of $7K.
