Experiences

Integration Engineer Intern - (May 2025 to August 2025)

At SpaceX, I worked under the Starship Final Integration team for a 3-month internship. In this role, I worked on creating manufacturing planning, troubleshooting build issues in real time, and designed manufacturing tooling. I owed the manufacturing planning for retrofit operations, and worked with technicans and design engineers when issues came up on the assembly line. Additionally, I utilized Siemens NX and ANSYS Mechnical to design tooling to make the build process more streamlines.

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

At Rivian Automotive, I worked with the General Assembly Manufacturing Engineering team for a 8-month internship. I worked with the conveyance subteam to develop a new greenfield general assembly line for a new vehicle line. I developed and iterated full shop layouts using AutoCAD, meeting the requirements of equipment design and cross-function a teams. Additionally, I assisted in the development of RFQs/SOWs for equipment vendors, and created conceptual equipment designs using CATIA V6. Finally, I worked with product development teams to design equipment that met product tolerances and passed FEM simulations.

Project Engineer Intern - (May 2023 to August 2023)

At Vantage Data Centers, I worked with the project management team for a 3-month internship. I worked overseeing the construction of a 75MW hyperscale data center, coordinated day-to-day and long term tasks with contractors, engineers, and clients to ensure an on time job. Additionally, I drafted project authorizations and managed technical document approval workflows to prevent roadbloaks.

Lead Chassis Engineer - (May 2023 to May 2025)

At Longhorn Racing, UT Austin's Formula SAE team, I served as the lead chassis engineer. For two seperate seasons, I lead the design, analysis, and manufacturing of our steel spaceframe. I utilized SolidWorks to design and package the vehicle assembly, working with cross-functional systems to ensure everything fits. Hand-calculations and ANSYS Mechanical where used to analyze the structural integrity of the chassis. Additionally, I oversaw the design of welding jigs, and welding itself of the spaceframe and all attachment linkages.

Chassis Engineer - (September 2023 to May 2023)

As a member on Longhorn Racing, I worked on various design and manufacturing subprojects. I utilized SolidWorks to design assemblies, jigs, and tooling. Additionally, I used ANSYS Mechanical to quantify and compare designs stiffness and strengths.

Lead Mechanical Engineer - (July 2020 to July 2022)

At FRC Team 670, I served as the Lead Mechanical Engineer. I was responsible for overseeing the entire design and manufacturing cycle of competition robots. I managed the Autodesk Fusion 360 modeling and system integration, ensuring all mechanisms seemlessly interacted with eachother. I worked hands-on with design and system integration, taught curriculum on fundamental engineering skills to new members.

Mechanical Engineer - (September 2018 to July 2020)

As an engineer of the Mechanical team, I worked the design and manufacturing of systems on the competition robotics. I modeled prototypes and robotic mechanisms using Autodesk Fusion 360, and machined them in-house. Additionally, I lead a small team of engineers in the development of a game-piece indexing mechanism.
