Experiences

Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op (May 2024 - December 2024)

As a co-op for Rivian Automotive, I was an conveyance engineer on the general assembly equipment team. I worked on developing and iterating layout revisions for a ground-up general assembly line supporting the production of the new R2 vehicle. I additionally developed RFQs/SOWs and created conceptual equipment designs. Finally, I worked with the product development team to create a vehicle design that met DFM (design for manufacturability) requirements.

Lead Chassis Engineer (May 2023 - Present)

As the current lead of the chassis engineering team, I am in charge of the design, manufacturing, and project timelines of the chassis. I have oversaw the full design cycle of two seperare vehciles, working on improving torsional stiffness and reducing weight. Additionally, I have lead team-wide improvements on analysis methods via more extensive hand-calculations and FEA (finite element analysis) simulations. 

Chassis Engineer (September 2023 - May 2023)

As a mechanical engineer on the chassis team, I worked on optimizing a steel tube space frame tube geometry for low weight and high torsional stiffness. I utilized CAD (computer-aided design) and FEA (finite element analysis) softwares to analyze and iterate structures. Additionally, I worked on designing welding jigs that held critical frame tubes and attachment tabs to precise tolerances.

Project Engineer Intern (May 2023 - August 2023 )

As an intern for Vantage Data Centers, I was part of the owner-side project management team, overseeing the construction of a 75 megawatt hyperscale data center. In this role, I coordinated tasks with contractors, engineers, and clients to ensure an on time job. Additionally, drafted project authorizatations and managed technical document approval workflows.

Lead Mechanical Engineer ( July 2020 - July 2022 )

As the lead of the mechanical team, I was responsible for overseeing the entire design and manufacturing cycle of competition robots. I managed all the mechanical subsystems, worked hands-on with design and system integration, taught curriculum on fundamental engineering skills to new members.

Mechanical Engineer (September 2018 - July 2020)

As an engineer of the mechanical team, I worked the design and manufacturing of competition robotics. I protoyped, modeled, and machined various robotic mechanisms. Additionally, I lead a small team of engineers in the development of a game-piece indexing mechanism.
