Nguyen Duy Quang

Mechanical engineer. I take ideas from user needs to concept, then design, simulate, prototype and test them.

About

I am finishing an MSc in Engineering Design and Innovation at NUS, with a mechatronics degree from VinUniversity. I build physical prototypes, test them, and redesign the parts that fail. My MSc ends in January 2027, and I am looking for a full-time engineering role from then.

Experience

  • Research InternMay 2026 to Jan 2027
    A*STAR SIMTech, Singapore

    Ceramic binder jet cores for metal casting and a polymer inkjet feasibility study for industry clients. Daily print-and-test cycles; built an IR heater and CAD parts to work around printer problems.

  • Student Manufacturing InternMar 2023 to Jul 2023
    SMC Corporation Vietnam

    Rebuilt CAD models in Inventor and Fusion 360 from drawings and training kits. Designed a concept CNC coolant-tank cleaning machine.

  • Founding Member, Technical Artist and XR DeveloperOct 2022 to 2024
    ARIS, student-led AR/XR venture, Hanoi
