Debug battery mechanical failures in testing and collaborate with cross functional teams to create engineering solutions. · Collaborate with cross-functional teams from factory manufacturing to mechanical designing teams to improve and update the battery design rules of the current generation Enovix cell. · Use Teamcenter, Solidworks 2021, GD&T, DriveWorks, and tolerance analysis to design mechanical 2&3D parts and assemblies of Enovix cell. Prepare full battery drawings for customers and factories. · Provide supports for bringing up Enovix factory and R&D in Penang, Malaysia. Such as, establishing best practices of mechanical processes and part numbers creation, prepare mechanical drawings and processes for pilot assembly line, & be available late night to provide instructions and trainings. · Communicate regularly with Enovix, Penang teams to provide mechanical trainings to new team members, such as Teamcenter & CAD. ### Mechanical Design @ Shield AI @ Shield AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 Staff Mechanical Design Engineer · Involved in mechanical designs and improvements of various components and assemblies inside aircraft V-bat, such as organized cables in mid-fuse & modified carbon fiber composite parts. · Worked with cross functional teams to make engineering changes (ECO’s) and improvements for ground control systems. Collected and documented the engineering changes to submit to customers. · Ownership of multiple wiring harness designs, lithium battery, plastic injection molding parts, and heater designs. Designed these parts from concepts, prototypes, tests, & applied into Vbat. · Used Arena, Solidworks 2021, Unigraphics NX, Teamcenter, Rapid Harness, GD&T Y14.5, and tolerance analysis to design mechanical geometries of parts and sub-assemblies, such as worked on composite housings 2&3d & fixed the existing mechanical designs. · Communicated regularly with internal cross functional teams to build wiring harness, mechanical assemblies (DFA), reliability testing, such as ordered cables, connectors, mechanical components followed Mils specification, before implementing the designs & changes into Vbat’s system. · Self studies electro-mechanical components and the electrical connections inside aircraft to effectively support mechanical design and internal teams questions. ### Senior Mechanical Design Engineer @ Amazon Lab126 Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 | Sunnyvale, California, United States Senior Mechanical Product Design Engineer (home robot products) · Designed, developed, & owned mechanical and electro-mechanical parts/assemblies for home robot products. Involved in mechanical design, development, and delivery of the Astro robot (2022). · Architected the Astro robot’s display sub-assembly (DFA) and owned mechanical structures for pairs of stereo cameras, and mechanical sub-assemblies of other safety sensors. · Owned mechanical designs of multiple sub-assemblies and worked closely with cross-functional teams to meet design requirements and challenges. Resolved light leaking into cameras, designed thermal heatsink and designed for injection molding complex geometries of optical cliff sensors. · Participated in mechanical architecture ideas within mechanical team, provide feedback in design reviews for other sub-assemblies (DFA), designed for manufacturing (DFM) and automations, so each sub-assembly could be tested and verified at manufacturing and assembling partners’ sites. · Virtually debugged and closed mechanical issues at factory to unlock assembly line shut-down. Resolved last minute mechanical issues before the product launching. · Worked on tolerance analysis of several critical modules, such as TA for the optical cliff detector sensors. Sr Mechanical Product Design (Tablets, Ereaders, & Echo) · Conceptualized, designed, and built prototype for new generation products. It was fast-paced product development from initial concept to production. The products met ID design intents and product quality. · Involved in reviewing FEA simulation results, thermal simulate studies, and manufacturing/automation capabilities (DFM). From these studies, made decisions to continue or change mechanical designs. Evaluated these engineering changes to fit with build schedules. · Analyzed mechanical failures in reliability testing results and proposed multiple design concepts to fix or improve mechanical issues. ### Senior Mechanical Product Design Engineer @ Amazon Lab126 Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 | Sunnyvale CA Mechanical product design for consumer electronic: tablet, e-reader, & echo from concepting to mass producing. ### Mechanical Product Design Engineer @ Amazon Lab126 Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Cupertino, CA Mechanical design for consumer-electrical products ### Mechanical Engineer Tech Lead @ Research In Motion Jan 2006 – Jan 2013 Worked with mechanical and cross-functional team members to study and develop hand-held consumer electronics. Coordinated technical discussions and reviewed design aspects from mechanical to electro-mechanical. Played mechanical tech-role in conceptualizing and developing multiple products for BlackBerry. ## Education ### University of Cincinnati ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/duc-ngo-a627761 --- Source: https://flows.cv/ducngo JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ducngo/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
