• Responsible for product development and production engineering of QisDesign lighting products. Directed a team of fourteen members who collaborated with industrial designers, suppliers, and production department to deliver innovative luminaires by the deadline and within budget. • Dedicated to innovation of LED lighting fixtures. Established a pre-development process, which included concept generation, evaluation, and prototyping stage, to promote the ingenious engineering solutions that realize the versatile needs of lighting fixtures. Led creative engineers and designers to generate and verify the lighting concepts, such as new form factors, optical designs, control interfaces, thermal management and mechanical structures, to bring better performance and illumination experience to consumers. • Ensured quality of QisDesign products. Set up a comprehensive working instruction, which consisted of a series of design reviews, iterative prototyping, engineering verification testing, usability testing, and an updated engineering design guideline, to assure the reliability of products. • Supported the marketing campaign and participate in product strategy planning. Prepared the marketing material and presented QisDesign’s new products from the perspective of technology innovation in marketing events in Taiwan and Europe. Cooperated with the head of product management team to draw up product roadmaps and specified the market requirements of new products.

• Led the Advanced Design Team, focusing on the exploration of innovative structural concepts, mechanisms, and form factors for future consumer electronics. Collaborated closely with industrial designers and mechanical engineers to transform ideas into viable product solutions. • Oversaw Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) strategy for new product development. Drove the application of advanced materials and novel surface treatments to enhance aesthetic quality and product differentiation. • Directed the Packaging Design Team during the merger of BenQ and Siemens handset operations. Led a multinational initiative to unify packaging visual identity, structural standards, and supply chain coordination. • Headed the User Research Team, conducting in-depth user behavior studies, needs analysis, and feedback research. Generated actionable insights to define product functions and UX requirements, while also leading user feedback evaluations for existing products to guide iterative improvements. • Supervised the Mockup Team, responsible for producing prototypes, functional working samples, and appearance mockups across all product categories. Supported both design and R&D teams in reviewing mechanical feasibility and visual design integrity.

(As part of one-year designer training program sponsored by Taiwanese government) • Executed mechanical design for medical equipment and laboratory instruments. • Cooperated with industrial designers from Pentagram for mechanical design of stationery.

(As part of one-year designer training program sponsored by Taiwanese government) • Studied the design process from the conceptual phase to the implementation phase, researching the way to inspire innovative design. • Joined industrial design team to design the LCD TV and home theater system for LG Electronics and Tatung Co. • Participated the design group for cooperate identity design of Siemens Mobile.

• Led a team of five engineers to execute the mechanical design of a clam-shell mobile phone for tier-one customer. • Took charge of manufacturing support in mass production for BenQ’s premium mobile phone and another ODM handset simultaneously. Total production quantity of both products was 1.5 million within six months. Worked in problem solving, mold management, and yielding rate improvement for up to fifty sets of mold and twenty suppliers. • Cooperated with electronic engineers to create component stack up and mechanical layout of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for BenQ’s first generic GPRS platform.

• Honors: Scholarship (2 semesters)
