(Mar 2022 – Sep 2022)

Designed and fabricated installation jigs for the shock tower reinforcement bracket through continuous iteration based on field testing from production, FEA for stiffness improvement, and the application of GD&T principles.
Led 5 investigations for front underbody (FUB) design changes to improve vehicle torsional stiffness.
Designed a novel solution for bumper beam install issues that maintains crash worthiness, opening the assembly tolerance window by 200%, and saving Tesla $2.7 million annually.
Demonstrated proficiency in CATIA by designing, iterating, and implementing the first-of-its-kind service line jig for large body castings, enabling service centers to repair broken/damaged vehicles.
Developed 3 conceptual dies for new attaching technologies without the need of post-process machining.

(Sept 2021 – Mar 2022)

Developed a height gauge in SOLIDWORKS and CATIA for determining the interlock quality of production battery pack rivets and implemented it on the production line.
Validated that pack fastening method and quality equipment meets specification at high volume production by managing a team of 10 technicians to conduct 4 Process Capability Analyses and Gage R&R studies.
Communicated and coordinated with 6 suppliers on critical design features and tolerance requirements for CNC machined, waterjet/laser cut, heat-treated, and 3D printed parts.
Designed components for and supporting the introduction of 2 new manual riveting stations that met ergonomic, safety, and quality standards to decrease pack fastening cycle time by 40% per rivet.
Optimized design of 2 different production tooling by conducting FEA for high-load cases and interfacing with supplier manufacturing to develop components with proper implementation of GD&T.

(Apr – Sept 2021)

Redesigned the front carrier of a Formula 1-style electric racecar for compatibility with larger brake rotors.
Machined over 5 steel parts for the dynamometer of a 4-wheel drive unit.

(Jan – Mar 2021)

Modified and integrated component design assemblies into a consumer 2019 Chevy Blazer using Siemens NX.
Applied knowledge of GD&T principles for constraining vehicle components to verify conformity with CAD model specifications from 9 project teams and EcoCAR Mobility Challenge competition metrics.

(June – Aug 2020)

Designed, prototyped, and tested an emergency drivetrain brake using a simple and cost-effective design that stopped a 1500lb. robot on a 30-degree incline.
Assembled 2 solar-powered and autonomous robots for consumers that consisted of motors, chain reductions, batteries, heat sinks, cameras, PCBs, and a solar panel.
Worked with 7 other teammates to boost robot GPS connection by 10% with a new antenna mount layout that improved sturdiness and lowered component cost.
Reduced chain reduction brake cost (8%) by running SOLIDWORKS FEA on several individual components to add weight reduction triangles and increase the stability of braking assembly by identifying stress points.

(Mar 2020 – June 2021)

Maintained 4 different social platforms to publicize the club by collecting pictures, videos, and other media.
Coordinated with 6+ clubs and robotics teams from around the world for outreach events and community engagements to improve the team’s public appearance.
Managed and coordinated tasks, events, and activities for a team of 9+ to meet deadlines and ensure the stability of Husky Robotics’ finances.

(Sept 2019 – May 2021)

Built an autonomous Mars rover for Husky Robotics that placed 2^nd in the International Rover Challenge Series in 2019, which contained a mechanical arm, various scientific instruments, and a stable chassis.
Operated the mill and lathe to produce 15+ rover parts within .005” tolerance and without any tool breakages.
Collaborated with a team of 14 to manufacture and deliver 100+ parts collectively before the deadline with less than 5% error in parts.
