Summary
Dave Wu is a Quality Manager with 10 years of experience improving product and supplier performance across automotive, robotics, and consumer electronics, now based in Pleasanton, CA. He has a strong track record driving cost reduction and defect elimination—from a $390 per-vehicle parts cost cut at Lucid to millions in revenue uplift through vertical integration—while implementing AI-driven procurement and RPA to shorten cycles and improve traceability. Comfortable bridging engineering, finance, and legal teams, he leads cross-functional negotiations and builds practical roadmaps for advanced systems like 48V steering and brake-by-wire to support L4 autonomy. A hands-on problem solver, he combines lean Six Sigma, DFM, and firmware-adjacent hardware skills developed from prototyping to mass production, and also runs a creative side project, Flux Art, that reflects his product-minded maker background.
