Summary
Edward Xu is a solutions-driven engineer and commercial leader with 11 years of experience bridging hardware, software, and customer-facing operations across drones, medical devices, IoT, and 3D printing. He has led key account and aftersales strategies for North America at DJI and now manages strategic accounts at Odin Aerotech, combining technical field support, dealer enablement, and escalation workflows to improve product reliability and service efficiency. A multilingual professional who has lived and worked in China, Canada, and the U.S., he co-founded a funded tech startup and brings hands-on R&D experience in prototyping, testing, and firmware/software feedback loops. Comfortable translating vague problems into measurable solutions, he pairs mechanical engineering training (UC Irvine, SDSU) with practical skills in coding, testing, and cross-functional program management. An unconventional strength is his knack for synthesizing field defect data into actionable product improvements that accelerate R&D cycles and reduce aftersales costs.
