Work Experience:
Apple
06.02006 through present
senior product design engineer
- Led the product design team responsible for next-gen desktop computer product
- Responsible for mechanical design and layout of tightly packed consumer - electronics products from preliminary architecture phase through final
product documentation and mass-production.
- Led design investigations to very quickly evaluate mechanical design options and evaluated results to identify the most promising solutions.
- Responsible for detailed component and assembly design and documentation from concept through production; including addressing design-for-manufacturing feedback from manufacturers, detailed part modeling, and final engineering drawings. Components designed include injection molded parts, sheetmetal parts, and CNC machined parts.
- Designed internal mechanical components and subassemblies of the first AppleTV product to support very strict cosmetic requirements while accommodating high-volume manufacturing processes.
- Provided engineering leadership to Asian manufacturers to ensure high part quality and to set up production lines for high-volume products.
- Optimized final assembly fit-up of a consumer electronics device by utilizing statistical tolerance analysis techniques to specify optimal component geometry.
- Designed early test-prototypes for thermal, environmental, acoustic, and reliability evaluations and directed testing in each of these areas.
- Responsible for developing system and component test plans and managing test efforts.
