RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Manufacturing Engineer, contracted working for a medical device company (Confidential) 2021-Present

Increase capacity and productivity of UHMWPE annealing equipment, developing a thermal cycle time reduced annealing process, and provide required validation documents.

Implementation a new equipment introduction needed validation process in Windchill PLM system.

Engineering studying on process Acceptance Criteria for quantitative inspection on production line based on product functionality.

CTO & Partner, Robust Medical Co., LTD, Wuxi, China 214192. 2016-2020

Lead engineers to develop and improve a variety of mechatronics equipment, such as auto-coupling exchangeable medicine cabinet system, to realize the closed loop of hospital medicine distribution. The modular design can be combined according to the needs of users. The main modules include advanced functions such as automatic lifting of the main workbench and monitor stand, electric power-assisted driving, and automatic replacement of dual batteries.

From concept design to market launch, 4 major series, over 10 kinds of nurse automated mobile workstations and relay stations including electric power drives have been developed, which cover the needs from low-end to high-end bedside Precision-Care in the hospital inpatient room.

More than 50 sets of plastic injection molds and aluminum alloy extrusion molds for the above products have been designed and manufactured.

A large number of products have been sold to China, and there are stable customers in the United States, Thailand, and Southeast Asia.

Sr. Consultant, Great Mould & Plastic Product CO., LTD Suzhou, P.R. China 215***-****-****

Instruct solutions of injection molds and precision parts design and manufacture according to the various requirements. More than 10 projects have been completed.

Director of R & D Stinger Medical Murfreesboro TN 371**-****-****

Work on thermoforming processes development, tooling and equipment design to build a new plastic forming department in house for cost saving, quality improvement, especially for lean manufacture environment.

By designed a new unique Double Station Vacuum Machine, the productivity, capacity and efficiency have been significantly enhanced. It has been running until now with ten hours a shift, creating millions of dollars for the company.

Process Development Engineer, Technical Staff, Lucent Technologies/Bell Labs, Norcross, GA 300**-****-****

Simulated the extrusion processes by Polyflow for the optical cable in order to re-design extrusion tooling and re-select cable materials, leading to reduced fabrication cost, improved cable quality and yields, reduced optical attenuation, and optimized cable jacket process parameters.

Enhanced optical buffer quality and reduced fiber break defect.

Sr. R & D Engineer NANOTEK INSTRUMENTS INC., Opelika, AL 2000-2001

Development of advanced materials and processes. Worked on a NSF SBIR Phase-I project, entitled “A Process for Preparing Nanometer-Sized Ceramic Particles at High Production Rates.” This project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel method, Combined Atomization and Reaction Technique (CART), for mass-producing nanometer-sized ceramic powders.

Designed, tested and commercialized of a stereoscopic X-radiographic observation and measuring instrument. The application makes 3-D assessment as opposed to 2-D assessment based on the theory of parallax. The instrument is designed to determine a 3-D location of pathogenesis by analyzing a “photo couple”, i.e. two x-ray films. This instrument can also be used to evaluate structure defects.

Sr. Application Engineer, contracted working for DELPHI Automotive System

Developed metal-removing simulation model to analyze and modify CNC programs for cost saving by reducing machine cycle time, increasing tooling life, and improving the quality of machined parts. Two projects have been finished with final recommendations; the suggested CNC programs will save approx. $400,000 annually.

Research Scholar., Department of Mechanical Engineering, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 1994-1999

Developed innovative techniques based on Rapid Prototyping Technology for improving 3-D advanced composite component of a complex shape. This technology can be employed in prototypes of high structural integrity, complex shape parts, and tools without using a mold or process tooling.

Investigated the error sources and forming precision for the Composite Layer Manufacturing (CLM) system. Numerically simulated polymer fluid flow and heat transfer to optimize those processes by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Visiting Scholar, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 1994-1996

Studied fiber reinforced composite materials and fabrications with emphasis on 3-D forming processes.

Designed a range of novel devices (i.e. smart valves for hot water supply).

Designed dies with Injection Modeling Machine. Designed and tested fiber impregnation die with Extrusion Machine and Hot Mold Pressure Machine.
