Research & Development Engineer @ Excel Dryer Inc
Highlights & Achievements
• Designed and prototyped a water-proof dryer optics, that is submersible up to 30min, to avoid damages/faults due to corrosion.
• Developed a low-cost testing fixture for performing electrical & Hi-Pot testing for a new product line. Its unique design can test existing products resulting in less setup time during mass-production.
• Started Environmental Testing for all the components to evaluate the performance at varied temperature/ humidity. It will let the company to export products to countries with varied environmental conditions.
• Collaborated as an essential employee in the rapid production of new products to fight COVID pandemic. From getting new parts, deciding packing, planning schedules, and complying products with safety/ quality certification within a month was a fantastic experience.
