About Steve Hu

Highlights:10+ years of experience utilizing a multitude of CFD/CAE packages and models4 years of experience applying Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence Tools for Design Optimization and Dimension Reduction4 years of experience leading teams to successfully design, validate and release high revenue (millions of dollars) productsVersatile background includes Experimental Testing and coding (Matlab/Python/Bash)Soft Skills:ENABLES INNOVATION THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESSESRecently, I’ve helped integrate design optimization processes into workflows that iterates through of designs in a short period of time to find the ideal specifications. Data based decision making, automation, standard templates and developing general standard operating processes are a few examples of other tools I’ve utilized to reduce design cycles and speed up training for junior employees.SUCCESSFUL TEAM LEADER CAPABLE OF DELIVERING RESULTS UNDER PRESSUREI’ve driven the completion of a delinquent project and resolving the various challenges associated with its release. Official release reduced the risk of losing waiting customers and increased market share. My experience as a project lead also includes simultaneously managing multiple large projects with budgets of up to $50M.GENERATES CUSTOMER-FOCUSED SOLUTIONSCoordinating with customer engineers and executives to ensure product meets specification and/or timeline changes is something that’s been a focus in my career. I’ve collaborated with sales/marketing departments to develop an online application to simplify and speed up customer product selection for purchasing. The foundation of the application is a database that I helped generate using existing test methods and machine learning algorithms.AREAS OF EXPERTISEComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) Applied Data Analytics (ML/AI) Coding Computer Aided Engineering (FEA/CAE/CAD) Validation Testing Data Visualization Project management Technical support
