SUMMARY

Passionate design engineer with 18 years of R&D experience from concept to commercialization, including a majority of start-up experience. Possesses vast knowledge in the areas of Analogue Power electronic circuitry, embedded systems, EMS, IC Temperature Characterization, EMI, EMC, RFI, LED Driver, SMPS and more. Early manufacturing career supplements R&D skills with turnkey capability for employers by not only driving in-house R&D prototyping but also resolving transition issues for mass production. Such expertise includes design optimization and debugging for cost-reduction, reproducibility and reliability with consistent quality.

Prior roles include taking on Technical Leadership and Consultancy over multiple concurrent projects. Experienced with international specification compliance for products slated for international launch (U.S.A, Europe, Japan etc). Strong communication from interfacing with customer and vendors for service support, co-design discussion and various other collaborative scenarios.

Chief Technical Officer

Lead 12 R&D Engineers and 5 Research Fellows for development and commercialization of conceptual ideas and new technologies by assessing customer’s needs, design-prototyping and driving EMS off production transition issues. This included design improvements for cost and reliability as well as supplier management. Developed or resolved IC Thermal Characterization, EMC test plans, EMC anomalies, product specification negotiation (UL, CE, IEC, SIRIM) and prototype testing while managing overall product deadlines and budget for these:

oBBC Horizon Multisensory Communication – Feasibility studies for Human Multi-Sensory conversion from Touch / Magnetic Levitation, Taste and Smell to digital signals and transmission to the cloud.

oTOYOTA Thailand and KERRY’S Shah Alam Energy Management Systems using Eniscope, ACES and OPTIDRIVE Variable Speed Drives

oMITSUBISHI, VERBATIM, etc – Switched Mode Power Supply + LED Drivers for SHARP Zenigata LED Bulb with Color Temperature Adjustment (CTA), 75W Street Lamp LED / External LED Driver Japan market, 10W CTA Bulb, 50W Lumotec LED Driver and more.

oALTIS, FRANCE – IC Thermal Characterization for Low Drop Out Voltage, Phase Lock Loop, Low Voltage Differential Signaling and development of Low Cost Audio Analyzer using THAT1200 and OPA1632 (Symmid Corporation Projects)

Cost optimization of ~USD 29K generated via R&D process (design + retooling of LED Heatsink, drive IC Thermal Characterization tasks within Malaysia, sourcing Isolation Transformer, wiring of Earth Leakage, debugging LED Emissions Test issues).

Cost savings of ~USD 31K by pioneering in house process improvements and trouble-shooting (salvaging customer rejects replacing Schottky diodes, conducting UL + CE pre-certification in-house, Equipment vs Software feasibility)

Generated Sales of ~RM95K (Nusajaya Smart City, Gelang Patah, Johor, Property Mgt Office Modernization, and ~RM 15 000 other regional design-wins including street lamps and Variable Frequency Drivesfor Energy Mgt. Project)
