In this role, I oversee the design and development of numerous mass-produced goods for a variety of firearm companies and distributors. I use standardized part families to assure consistency and to make process interchangeability easier. I produce detailed engineering documentation for all engineering process flows and standards. I innovate and customize AK/AR/Handgun components in order to enter underserved yet high-demand markets. In the expectation to achieve ISO/AS accreditations, I have developed engineering standards, formats, and toolboxes for models and prints. I implement a strong product data management system to reduce errors and improve responsiveness.• Executed R&D for several mass-produced products, including optics side mount for the AK platform, selling over 1000 units within the first month.• Pioneered advancement of multiple new product lines, contributing to design, functionality, and production aspects.• Devised and engineered numerous tools, jigs, and fixtures to enhance manufacturing, quality control, laser engraving, and assembly operations.• Devised and optimized an engineering data organization system to enhance interdepartmental accessibility.• Ensured consistency and process interchangeability by standardizing over 10 different product families.• Generated designs and blueprints for various components, including tools, fixtures, floor aids, and more.• Enhanced over 50 Solidworks models, drawings, assemblies, and other engineering data for pre-existing products.• Resolved engineering errors through the implementation of Solidworks PDM and engineering process workflow.• Formulated JL Billet's part number naming system and developed a comprehensive database for documentation.• Introduced a robust review and accountability system for engineering changes.

At this position, I assisted the professor with the preparation and organization of instructional materials. Under the supervision of the professor, I assisted in the implementation of lesson plans and instructional activities. Taught classes on space mission analysis/design and spacecraft navigation as a substitute or for open hours. I was in charge of monitoring student progress and behavior, as well as providing comments to the professor on student performance and engagement.• Assisted students by addressing their technical, interpersonal, and other concerns.• Facilitated practice sessions, conducted open hours, and performed the role of substitute tutor.• Developed assignments, tests, and solutions to foster inclusive learning experiences for students.

During this job role, I developed an OpenMDAO-based algorithm to optimize design/planning factors for three CubeSats to maintain accurate formations to function as 1 telescope gathering data from the sun. We utilized OpenMDAO, a gradient-based optimizer utilizing Attitude, Orbit, Propulsion, Solar, Battery, and Atmospheric prediction models built by me.• Published AIAA paper: “Large-scale multidisciplinary design optimization: Review and recommendations”.• Employed OpenMDAO to optimize propellant utilization for a 3-CubeSat formation control for telescope functionality.

As a Product Designer at this modular furniture startup I:• Engineered desk chairs specifically tailored for the student population in town, selling over 1500 units in 6 months.• Devised and developed a cost-effective modular bedframe, generating sales of over 1000 units in 8 months.

Working with the artillery department in the process of developing a new-age towed gun system, I was responsible for developing solutions and simulations to optimize the thermal performance of the barrel.During my internship I:• Conducted R&D on temperature control, measurement, and simulation in the barrel of a gun system.• Engineered precise experimental configuration to measure in-bore temperature for artillery gun system.• Explored burst fire limits and barrel failure for an artillery gun using heat transfer simulation on Ansys Workbench.• Published a research paper on “The study on Barrel Heat Transfer and Temperature Measurement Techniques in Gun Systems” in the ARDE technical reports database.

Starting my experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering here, I spent some my time on the shop floor and interacted with several operators, programmers, and department heads to understand the functioning of state-of-the-art subtractive machining processes of turning and milling.During this internship, I also: • Observed and studied the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing.• Streamlined barrel adapters’ setup time by 10% (4200 min./year) through the implementation of a fixture specifically engineered for VMC.
