Audie Wu

- Led monitor stand optimization project, enhancing structure rigidity by 10%, developing design guideline for system architects, influencing monitor and all-in-one PC product line. - Presented the project to VPs and earned 2nd place in final presentation contest among 23 interns. - Conducted Finite Element Analysis (Ansys) to research the correlation between the improvement efficacy of the structural rigidity and the design changes of the critical components (Creo, Rhino). - Cooperated with ODM partner to successfully identify the root cause of monitor wobble and generated the solution, which reduces the wobble duration by 25%, achieving better user experience.

- Assisted in characterizing and optimizing the high-pressure hydraulic system with data acquisition system and laboratory equipment, resulting in 10% reduction in system’s power consumption - Designed and building multiple custom testing rigs with electronics (Arduino and electronic sensors) and metalworking (welding, power tools), accelerating vendor parts verification process by 200%. - Collaborated with the marketing and sales department to develop a project, showcasing the abilities and potential applications of Wazer for a specific target audience

- Managed shop room operation, provided equipment training, and consulted with learner's projects. - Initiated workshops and developed curriculums, resulting in 200% new user growth in a semester. - Designed and manufactured parts and fixtures with digital fabrication and traditional shop equipment.

- Conducted market research (via market analysis, online survey, and customer interviews). Carried out product planning and rollout strategy. - Led fashion inflatable sling bag conceptualization and product design. Won the best design of the year nomination in the Gold Pin international design award. - Engineered innovative manufacturing process using RF Welding, resulting in 50% cost reduction of the steel mold. - Developed startup Business plan and gave startup presentation, earning $20,000 in multiple Startup competitions. - Launched crowdfunding campaign, created marketing content (video, photography, copy), and cooperated with influencers, achieving $24,000 sales, 370 B2C orders in 2 months. - Established overseas (China) supply chain. Managed BOM, logistics, productions, packaging, customer service, and orders. Oversaw budget and cost control ($45,000 in total).

- Provided CAD modeling service (Rhino) and FDM 3D printing with ABS, PLA, TPU materials. Completed over 100 prints with various shapes and some extreme dimensions parts. - Optimized machine settings (Speed, Temp., infill, etc.) for different nozzle sizes, layer heights, and materials according to client’s need (urgent/ fine finish), decreasing 40% material cost and print time. - Experimented and improved machine’s performance by enhancing thermal insulation and applying glue sticks for better bed adhesion. Diminished failed print rate from 15% to less than 2.5%. - Performed machine troubleshooting (Clogged nozzle, throat, and extruder), repair, and maintenance. - Managed quotes, inventory, orders, FB page, and customer service.
