Product Development from ideation to the final product. I love bringing my ideas to life through conceptualizing, 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping. Check out my portfolio at www.tymchang.com! Specialties: Rapid Prototyping/ Fabrication, Machine Shop, Plastics, working on cars, track days

Mechanical Engineer @ Designing the next generation of Misfit's products. A tight knit cross functional product development team bring's our vision to life. www.misfit.com From December 2014 to Present (10 months) Burlingame, CAAutomation Engineer @ Sustaining and improving manufacturing automation line through redesign and fabrication of existing assemblies and components. The role includes the use of CAD modeling, manual mill and lathe, knowledge of automation equipment such as programmable logic controllers, keyence sensors, ultrasonic welding, pneumatics, and safety interlocks. It is also required to communicate with and train technicians to ensure procedures are carried out correctly and efficiently. From August 2013 to December 2014 (1 year 5 months) Sunnyvale, CAMaster of Product Development Student @ Students are taught to engage problems through the lens of an engineer, a designer, as well as a business conscious individual. The program teaches and allows students to gain hands on experience in applying a clearly defined process for product development and innovation. Coursework involves business management, marketing considerations design principals, design theory and mechanical engineering which prepare individuals to approach problems systematically. With a multi-disciplinary approach, students are prepared to approach problems from concept to the finished product in the consumers hand. Core principles practiced include user centered design, user research, design language, user experience, and product market placement. From August 2012 to May 2013 (10 months) Pittsburgh, PAFSAE Lead Suspension Engineer @ Developed and fabricated a formula style racecar to compete in Formula SAE style competitions Responsibilities included collaborating with a team to create and optimize suspension geometry as well as packaging and designing suspension components. These include the braking assembly, wheels, core suspension components, and chassis orientation. Other responsibilities included the mock-up assembly of the car, alignment and suspension geometry finalizing, testing and adjustment of suspension parameters, and driver at University of California's 2012 Energy Invitational Event. From September 2010 to June 2012 (1 year 10 months) Irvine, CAApple Intern @ Interconnect Devices Intern Analysis of cables in bending and failure characteristics 3D Modeling in Unigraphics (NX6) Developed method to simplify the characterization of complex cables. A simplified finite element model to represent actual cables was explored to create a method in which finite element analysis could be performed to gain a better understanding of failure characteristics before physical prototypes are made. Skills learned and practiced: NX6 CAD Manufacturing and Injection Molding principles X-ray and CAT Scan operations Test Method Planning From June 2011 to September 2011 (4 months) Cupertino, CAEngineering Intern @ Prototype design, manufacturing, and testing of hydraulics, valving, and landing gear components. Created prototypes on CATIA V5 for use as mockups and test prototypes. Designed and modeled an environmental cyclic testing rig created to put hydraulic cylinders through cyclic testing, extreme weather and environment testing. From March 2010 to September 2010 (7 months) Corona, CA
