WORK EXPERIENCE

BYD Motors, Los Angeles, California March 2015 – February 2017 Assistant Project Manager, Battery Electric Bus and Coach

Correlated transit agencies and organizations to define technical/engineering functional requirements and set up the project scope of work from direct customer needs from contract and RFP

Managed project by establishing, maintaining, and utilizing PM package that controls project schedule/milestone, bill of materials (BOM), sales and production order, scope and work breakdown structure (WBS), communication matrix and project directory (PDT), project issue/action log (PIL/PAL), cost, risk, and quality following PMBOK guideline

Led projects by collaborating and coordinating relevant departments/stakeholders, both internal and external, to communicate/delegate/allocate project tasks accordingly for a stable work flow that drives the goal of a project

Oversaw and monitored project status/activities to identify existing issues and forecast possible future risks. Took immediate action to minimize impact on project timeline and reinvestigate project planning to ensure desired contractual delivery

Directed and supported onsite with foremen/engineers on special rework/prototype projects in production plant

Successfully completed and delivered projects in various platforms to customers, including Napa Valley C6, US Demo C9, Anaheim ART K9A, Columbia COMO K9M, and Brazil SPTRANS K11M GAC Engineering R&D, Guangzhou, China Summer 2013

Test Preparation Team Assistant Intern

Assisted the team in automotive part quality assurance, engine assembly, and experiment set-up/preparation process

Participated in the 1.3T Trumpchi P7 prototype engine qualification test and evaluation J.Y. Honda, Guangzhou, China Summer 2012

Technician Intern

Worked in a team to provide automotive service operations, including inspection, maintenance, and minor/major repair

Performed Troubleshooting and root cause analysis by analyzing ECU parameters via the Honda Diagnostic System ACADEMIC PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Bicycle Theft Prevention System Design, USC Fall 2013

Collected statistical data from the market domain through surveys and conducted functional design to convert customer needs to engineering functional requirements for design

Applied the Innovative Design Thinking (IDT) method as conceptual design framework to generate preliminary concepts. Iterated analytic and synthetic proposition to complete design hierarchies

Utilized principles from TRIZ method to improve existing concepts by resolving physical and technical contradictions

Successfully generated the conceptual design of the unconventional theft prevention system “Snake” that utilized an unique approach of electromagnetic energy instead of the pure strength of material to provide security to the next level Hybrid Vehicle Design, USC Spring 2013

Created a vehicle 3-view engineering drawing based on selected vehicle classification Elton Law

5409 La Presa Ave., San Gabriel, CA, 91776 626-***-**** ********@***.***

Developed a design target based on market research, then followed the Analytic Target Cascading (ATC) method to conduct conceptual vehicle sub-systems (power system, energy system, steering system, and suspension system) design and packaging design to acquire technical specifications of the design vehicle

Reviewed and improved preliminary design toward a more competitive extent based on result from benchmarking

Successfully finalized the design of a sporty vehicle, named the Zeus Thunder, which achieved a 330 hp performance without compensating its excellent 29 mph fuel consumption rate and 400-mile drive range Drag Reduction and Fuel Saving on Commercial Trucks, USC Fall 2012

Organized research findings from past studies and synthesized for potential methods

Analyzed cost-effective factors of each potential method quantitatively to narrow down feasible solutions

Designed aerodynamic deflectors in various configurations in CAD and evaluated their performance by CFD analysis

Conducted a scale test by building a 1:23 scaled truck model with the use of CNC milling machine, laser cutter, band saw, and lathe, followed by a wind tunnel test; iterated test to collect accurate experimental result for analysis.

Successfully accomplished a 30% Drag Coefficient CD reduction and achieved an annual saving of $20,000 per truck CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT

SC Racing, USC September 2012 – May 2013

Powertrain Team Member

Assisted the Formula SAE team in various hands-on activities, included assembly/disassembly and aerodynamic components crafting
