Summary
Derrick Ng is a product engineer and entrepreneur with 10 years of hands-on experience designing electromechanical and audio systems, currently working at QT Imaging Holdings in San Francisco. He co-founded Sunset Sounds, where he led product design, DFM, BOM management, vendor relations, and the launch of a HiFi portable speaker using DSP, CAD, and quasi-anechoic tuning. His background spans hardware test automation at Zipline and characterization of ultrasound/MEMS devices at Exo, where he developed data-processing pipelines, ML-based defect detection, and automated test infrastructure. Comfortable bridging hardware and software, Derrick combines field-level troubleshooting with signal processing and embedded systems know-how. He brings an unusual mix of consumer-audio product instincts and rigorous test-driven engineering, often turning prototypes into manufacturable products. Derrick studied aerospace engineering at UC Irvine, which informs his systems-thinking approach to complex electro-mechanical challenges.
