JUSTIN YOON

Designed and developed medical equipment from concept to launch. Responsible for design process, including research, prototyping, testing, iterating, dfm, and detailed design of final parts and assemblies. Developed product requirements and product specifications based on user requirements. Created CAD models, performed FEA, and made engineering drawings and conducted research and development for validation testing.

Designed and developed manufacturing equipment using CAD, prototyping, and testing, while implementing and validating siemen's automation and control systems. Integrated equipment with PLC's and developed HMIs for monitoring, created technical documentation (SOPs, calibration, maintenance), and optimized performance through testing and analysis

Responsible for managing project schedules and assigning research responsibilities within the MCR fuselage team. Also responsible for overseeing the onboarding, training, and mentorship of new members in preparation for the annual competition cycle. Throughout the summer term, I coordinate research initiatives investigating new design concepts, materials, and manufacturing processes to support the development of the team's next-generation aircraft.

Contributed to the design and prototyping of decentralized water systems for a Tiny Home Project with UBC Sustaingineering in partnership with BWBF. Developed rainwater harvesting and plumbing layouts, performed pump and structural analyses, and built functional prototypes including a gutter system and compact hydroponics unit

Involved in designing and developing multiple SAE Aero Design Micro Class aircraft (Romeo 2024, Barbie 2025, Toothless 2026) for UBC AeroDesign. Sized and configured tail geometries using volume coefficient methods, aspect ratio trade studies, and stability requirements, referencing Gudmundsson and precedent aircraft data. Built parametric spreadsheets to determine tail arm, surface areas, and aerodynamic coefficients, and iterated designs to balance stability, weight, and drag. Performed FEA in SOLIDWORKS to validate structural integrity and inform material selection and geometry changes. Manufactured and tested components and subassemblies using carbon fiber, wood, and plastics through 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC routing.

As the official mascot for UBC Vancouver, I represented the university at hundreds of sporting events, campus activities, and community engagements, energizing crowds through fan interaction, leading chants, and performing stunts for audiences of thousands. Balancing this role alongside a demanding engineering degree, internships, design teams, and competitions improved my time management and communication skills.
