Lead cross-functional team through the stages of product development from R&D’s design concept
review, project kick off, planning execution, cost control, trial run and mass production.
Responsible for management of project team. Mission allocation, manpower management, overall
project management, make sure new product meet time, cost and quality requirement.
Upgrade the performance for existing product. Solve key problems which affect project process,
Define project management process, engineering change process and manufacturing process.
Organize various meeting, e.g. design review meeting, project kick off meeting, molding review
meeting, trial run review meeting and milestone review meeting etc.
Improve NPI Yield from trial run to mass production by mentoring engineers in use of lean tools
(six sigma, multiple DOEs, FEMA, MSA GRR and SPC).
Communicate with oversea important customers, convert customer requirement to internal
requirement, optimize new product kitting shipment and enhance customer satisfaction. Successful
customer project case: Obtaining PPAP approval for EMC 3030 & EMC3020 from Philips
Lumileds.

LED R&D Director (Sept. 2011 - Sept. 2013)
Responsibilities
Responsible for LED materials development and new product development (NPD) management.
Especially for luminescent materials like YAG phosphor and Nitrides phosphor. Establish R&D
projects and organize a R&D team, Design, develope and validate multiple process and process
equipment,set up the production line, ultimately achieve the goal from R&D process to mass
production (MP). Process capability study (Cp,Cpk)
Define, teste, standardize and implement new phosphor dispensing process, which significantly
reduced the phosphor cost and improved Lumen
Analyzes new product quotation by combining cost and competitor’s price to enhance product sales
and margins. Coordinates receipt of all required information for the preparation of final quotation
submittal. Coordinates transmittals of plans, drawings and other documents to customers.
Communicates with customers to resolve problems with projects during the bidding process. Price
estimates by computing the raw material cost, the depreciation cost from fixture, tools and
equipments to be manufactured, outside source cost, inventory availability, logistics cost (freight,
staging, handling) Establishes Price Strategy for long-term customers and Price validity.
