As the Lead Engineer, I spearheaded the design and optimization of a globally innovative soft dexterous hand, merging bionic principles with advanced mechanical engineering. I utilized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to conduct stiffness simulations, ensuring structural integrity and comparing design feasibility. To enhance durability and mass production readiness, I pioneered the use of new materials and coordinated with global suppliers. Additionally, I collaborated with leading textile researchers to integrate custom fabric sensors and covering structures. My leadership bridged the gap between complex R&D and manufacturing, driving the project toward commercial scalability.
As a Lead Mechanical Engineer, I led the mechanical design and development of advanced robotic systems, including a wheeled humanoid robot and modular robotic arm. Using SolidWorks, I designed machined, sheet metal, and injection-molded components with a focus on structural strength, weight optimization, manufacturability, wiring integration, assembly feasibility, and cost control. I produced detailed 2D engineering drawings compliant with industry standards. I performed engineering calculations to select and size key components such as fasteners, cable carriers, ball screw systems, and servo motors. I also planned and supervised prototype assembly, ensuring quality through controlled processes including adhesive bonding and torque fastening. For the robotic arm, I designed joint modules, encoder structures, and a radial braking mechanism, integrating critical components to meet performance requirements. I conducted multibody dynamics simulations using MSC Adams to support reducer and motor selection, and performed thermal analysis on PCBA cooling structures, achieving an 8 °C reduction in steady-state temperature and improving system reliability.
As CAE Engineer for Mechanical Structure, I led mechanical design, simulation, and optimization for UAV systems, including an Automated Drone Docking Station and multirotor drones. I conducted static, dynamic, and stiffness simulations for trusses, shells, ribs, and injection-molded components using ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, and RecurDyn, identifying strength and deformation risks and guiding structural layout to optimize weight and performance. I performed multibody dynamics and rigid-flexible coupled analyses to capture transient responses, peak loads, and fatigue life, applying CABLE280 elements for cable-like structures. I executed structural topology optimization, reducing part weight by up to 20% while maintaining strength, and addressed actuator fatigue issues using strain-life theory. I conducted multiaxial fatigue analysis with nCode DesignLife and extensive material testing, including metals, plastics, and composites, to provide key mechanical properties. I also analyzed UAV vibration characteristics using MATLAB to define load spectra, ensuring structural reliability and design maturity across multiple iterations.
As a Mechanical Reliability Engineer, I have spearheaded the durability assessment and life prediction for critical aerospace and nuclear systems. My work spans the full lifecycle of fixed-wing aircraft, including trainer aircraft, fighter jets, and bombers. I specialized in performing Multibody Dynamics (MBD), Random Vibration, and Nonlinear Contact Stress analyses using industry-standard tools like Abaqus, ANSYS, and LMS Virtual.Lab. By integrating these simulations into theoretical life prediction models, I successfully identified design weaknesses in landing gears, auxiliary power units (APUs), and hydraulic actuators. In parallel, I served as a Core Team Member for high-stakes national research projects (MIIT and SASTIND). My contributions include: Fly-by-wire Systems: Developing accelerated life testing (ALT) plans and fitting acceleration models for civil aircraft hydraulic servos. Reliability Methodologies: Implementing Weibayes small-sample data analysis and researching performance degradation patterns for components with multiple failure modes (gears and bearings). Nuclear & Defense: Conducting stress-strength interference modeling for fast reactor transmitters and achieving technical breakthroughs in fault injection for spur gear fatigue. My expertise bridges the gap between complex simulation and practical reliability verification, ensuring the safety of mission-critical mechanical systems.
