SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER JUN 2017 – PRESENT

MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER SEP 2014 – MAY 2017

CONSULTANT APR 2014 – SEP 2014

• Led a cross-functional team of engineers on an initiative that increased drop test survivability of MEMS camera actuators from 0% to 80% by optimizing design structure, system interface, device assembly, and material selection.

• Coordinated with engineering, operations, and QA to organize and monitor execution of camera NPI manufacturing for Apple, LG, Huawei, and other top phone OEMs.

• Planned experiments that identified four key metrics to control during manufacturing which boosted assembly yield by 10%.

• Synthesized a logistic regression model to predict which camera modules would pass reliability tests.

• Evaluated prospective multiphysics FEA analysis tools, and negotiated acquisition of customized simulation software and hardware package at 50% below projected cost. TESSERA ARCADIA, CA

ASSOCIATE MECHANICAL ENGINEER MAY 2012 – JAN 2014

• Created internal procedures for early detection of defective modules that translated into about $500,000 in projected annual savings during full-scale production.

• Traveled to Taiwanese manufacturing facility to train technicians and management, and to act as liaison between R&D in the US and operations in Asia.

• Managed CAD and drawing submittals to suppliers, created product documentation, and maintained revision control to mitigate production risks.

• Designed protective packaging for auto-focus enabling MEMS with optimized tolerancing while taking into account plastic molding constraints. PALISADES HUDSON FINANCIAL GROUP LLC FORT LAUDERDALE, FL FINANCIAL PLANNING ASSISTANT OCT 2011 – APR 2012

• Researched the US equity market for investment opportunities.

• Monitored portfolios of high net worth clients.

• Automated data entry procedures for firm’s asset management database. P ATENTS
