Designed and analyzed a cast steel version of an existing sheet metal bracket using SolidWorks Simulation.Assisted in Design Validation Testing performing both destructive and non-destructive testing using strain gaugesAssessed multiple complex field system failures and presented potential solutions to executive engineersPerformed testing to determine the key considerations of redesigning tracking system for bifacial modules

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Collaborated with engineers to brainstorm an initial design for a new solar module cleaning robot. Another intern and I were tasked with designing the entire system, including the structure, the brush type, the drivetrain, the electronics packaging, and the limit switches.Fabricated and found suppliers for parts for a prototype cleaner and troubleshot mechanical and wiring problemsValidated systems and assessed performance by conducting tests with different brushes, speeds, and materialsModeled components and assemblies using 3D CAD (SolidWorks) with attention to tolerances and fastenersSolved issues involving packaging of electromechanical parts by 3D printing an electrical component holderDemonstrated ability to self-manage and prioritize work commitment in a fast-paced environment Interviewed the CEO/founder to discuss the advent of the company and the mindset of an inventor
