Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJiyu Q is a mechanical engineer and product designer with 8 years of hands-on experience building consumer products and leading student engineering programs, currently designing for simplehuman after a product design stint on Apple Watch. With an M.S. in Product Development Engineering from USC and a background in Formula SAE leadership, she blends rigorous mechanical design, rapid prototyping, and user-centered thinking to bring elegant, efficient solutions to market. Her cross-functional experience spans UX research and prototype UX work at Ford Motor China, sales-driven product launches at DJI, and entrepreneurship—co-founding an online campus store that generated significant early revenue. Comfortable communicating in Mandarin and English, she pairs technical depth with a knack for organizing teams and reviving projects, from turning around a student club’s finances to coordinating alumni-focused storytelling at USC. Not obvious from titles alone, she combines design geek curiosity with practical product launch experience across hardware, software UX, and go-to-market channels.
