Summary
Xinyuan Lu is a Senior Test Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience blending mechanical design, robotics, and electronics testing across lab and product environments. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area, she has driven reliability and noise testing at Thermo Fisher while earlier building and programming robots with ROS, SolidWorks designs, and Altium schematics at TRC Robotics. Her background includes practical machine-shop skills, PLC-driven assembly line control, control-system modeling in MATLAB, and simulation in Gazebo and ANSYS—skills that let her diagnose failures from circuit boards to mechanical assemblies. Known for translating customer requirements into manufacturable designs, she pairs DFM/DFA-minded CAD work with firmware-level troubleshooting, and has even tested sterilization systems and PID-guided robotic behaviors.
