Product Designer/Mechanical Engineer Long Island City, New York Designed and manufactured LED luminaires and other lighting fixtures, including Track Luminaires, Recessed Luminaires, Surface & OBM Luminaires and Wall Grazing Systems with current new functions. For example, used Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee to control your lights and added dim to warm to adjust light colors, etc. Responsibilities:

Designed and developed lighting products, from the initial evaluation of the conceptual designs to the development stage, until the real prototype design.

Performed calculations and CFD analysis to theoretically determine the size of the enclosure.

Developed outline design, assembly design, detail drawing, machine programming and bending die etc. to make samples for review and comment.

Conducted heat tests on asbestos insulation and partition cabinets to ensure that the housing can operate thermally within the specified range.

Modified the product to meet the requirements of UL or CSA.

Compiled product code, bills of materials and spec sheets to complete the design. Intralox LLC Jun 2012 – Jan 2015

New Product Engineer New Orleans, Louisiana

Designed conveyors, conveyor belts, chains and sprockets, patented a sprocket design. Responsibilities:

Evaluated projects, created 3D prototype designs and machine layouts.
