Kevin Lam

Senior Mechanical Engineer, P Eng @Cytiva

Led a vision subsystem redesign project, from development to production Identified DFMA opportunities and collected user experience feedback from stakeholders: chef architect engineer, system integration engineers, production team, and service team Collaborated with all stakeholders to develop multi discipline functional requirements document, with validation test method and passing criteria. Scheduled development activities Created multiple conceptual designs, and hosted design review meetings to ensure the selected final design addressed all issues from DFMA and functional requirements Collaborated with supplier on cable assemblies design, test parameters, components second sourcing, and packaging requirement, to ensure short lead time and smooth receiving into warehouse Developed validation test plan, test procedures and conducted validation tests, to ensure integrity of entire system Introduced to production with hands-on training and detailed work instruction. Resulted in 90% assembly time reduction, 67% part count reduction, 20% material cost reduction Supported the single use consumable product engineering team Collaborated with customer to create custom consumable product to meet their unique need, and provided support to help customer integrate product to our machine Worked in partnership with supplier to manage engineering changes of EOL parts, approve deviation and address quality issues Reviewed field product failure, performed root cause analysis, and composted response to customer, together with quality team Created the packaging specification for low volume high mix consumable product, and validated the packaging with ASTM D-4169 standard Supported manufacturing engineering team Designed machined and 3D printed custom jig for production team to improve ergonomic and efficiency Restructured system BOM to remove non-value-added levels and reduced manufacturing lead time stackup
