Leading engineering design and technology development of innovative wearable and multimodal systems.

• Led development of a novel ocular device integrating fluidic, magnetic and wireless subsystems from user requirements to feasibility analysis, design, prototyping and test.

• Led development of a MEMS sensor and actuator from conceptual design to simulation, microfabrication and characterization.

• Designed computer controlled test systems with precision laser, thermal, and force sensors.

• Filed multiple patent applications and presented the project in Google Research Conference.

• Product design of thermal system of the first Google Tablet (Pixel Slate).

• Selected and managed Asian vendors and outsourced the critical parts ( CPU heat sink, heat pipe, TIM) of the thermal system.

• Responsible for mechanical design of a next-generation DNA sequencing platform from product requirements to design, prototyping, DFM and documentation: DNA sequencer instrument, sample prep instrument, biochip package and consumables.

• Chief designer of the instruments ( sequencer , sample prep): industrial design, system and mechanical architecture, subsystems ( pcba, mechanisms, precision fluidics, pneumatics and thermal ) and component design.

• Developed the first scripting language, operation procedure and test plan of the sequencer .

• Led microfluidic, thermal and detail design of the biochip sensor package including tolerance stackup analysis and thermo hydrodynamic simulation (patent pending).

• Managed sequencer verification within a cross-functional team of SW, EE, ME and bio engineers.

• Led the instrument team in rapid prototyping, manufacturing and test of 40 sequencers from initial concept to functional devices in 12 months.

• Established and managed relationships with over 100 suppliers, OEMs and CMs in technology development and manufacturing.

• Led outsourced design of the sequencer consumable cartridge from requirements document, conceptual and detail design to prototyping and test.

• Led activities to outsource the sequencer production to an Asian CM (DFM, ECO, design revisions and engineering documentations)

• Led a team of ME/EE engineers in design of a novel prefabricated modular building system from initial concept and modeling to engineering analysis and drawings. The system reduces structure weight by 30% and doubles the building speed.
