# Luke Yuen > Mechanical Engineer | Stanford MSME Robotics | CAD/CFD, Rapid Prototyping Location: Stanford, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/lukeyuen I am a mechanical engineer who likes fast loops from CAD to the test bench. My work so far spans robotics, vehicle systems, and medical devices. I have helped with prototype bring-up at Carbon Robotics, supported an early-stage vehicle program, and worked on clinician-focused devices at MD Anderson and on VacuTrac. I also led labs and tutorials as a Head TA for an advanced prototyping and fabrication course. I am now at Stanford in the MSME program, focusing on robotics and kinematics, with current interests in robotic mechanisms, EV systems, and practical DFM / DFA. Open to connecting on robotics, vehicle systems, and hands-on hardware design. ## Work Experience ### Product Design Intern @ Apple Jan 2026 – Present | Culver City, CA 6-month co-op on the Beats Product Design team at Apple, supporting product development through hands-on design, engineering, and cross-functional collaboration. ### Engineering Intern @ Stealth Startup Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area • Develop and iterate CAD/CFD concepts for next-generation aerial vehicle prototypes, with emphasis on manufacturability and structural integration. • Lead prototype bring-up and design changes addressing weight, access, and serviceability; support BOM development and early vendor conversations. ### Prototyping Intern @ Carbon Robotics Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Seattle, Washington, United States • Supported first-article builds and prototype bring-up with SolidWorks/Fusion 360; closed issues on interference and service clearances. • Produced fixtures/jigs and quick-turn parts to unblock mechanical and electrical tests. • Partnered with manufacturing on tolerance stack adjustments that simplified assembly. ### Engineering Design Course Head Teaching Assistant @ Rice University Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | Houston, Texas, United States • Led weekly lab content for 30+ students; refreshed tutorials to fit bioengineering and device design use cases.  • Focus on rapid, safe iteration: proper workholding, tolerance callouts, and verification. ### Research Assistant @ Rice University Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | Houston, Texas, United States • Built mechanical subsystems for wearable sensing; maintained sensor alignment across body types; collaborated on signal quality checks.  • Drove prototype-to-analysis loop with MATLAB/Python; supported test fixtures and basic statistics. ### Mechanical Engineering Intern @ MD Anderson Cancer Center Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Houston, Texas, United States • Designed and prototyped an integrated suction-retraction device for spinal fusion; targeted a patient comfort improvement benchmark on bench tests.  • Prepared test protocols and documentation toward publication and tech transfer pathways. • Collaborated with clinicians on usability and sterile workflow constraints. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Mechanical Engineering Stanford University ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Mechanical Engineering Rice University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/luke-yuen --- Source: https://flows.cv/lukeyuen JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/lukeyuen/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
