Responsible for the design and ramp-up of the Lucid Air and Gravity battery module.

Dimensional Engineering Intern, Product Design Integration• Reduced post-cast machining operations on the Model Y rear underbody by determining whether machined features and affected interfaces could absorb as-cast tolerances.• Identified and corrected steering wheel, fixed glass, and ABC-pillar interfaces most at risk for dimensional variation in the 2021 Plaid Model S and X programs.• Coordinated mechanical integration and packaging efforts for the forward facing radar, windshield triplecam assembly, and ultrasonic sensors across various vehicle platforms.Reliability Engineering Intern, Closures• Identified root causes of power window field failures by analyzing the dynamics of the lifter mechanism and seal interfaces.• Conducted strain gage testing of the Media Control Unit PCB, determined traces and components most at risk for damage during manufacturing and service.• Modeled failure rate and service costs of a corrosion-affected A380 casting.Quality Engineering Intern, Drive Unit• Improved first pass and final yield of the stator line through measurement system analysis.• Reduced likelihood of drive unit field failures by identifying weaknesses in the stator winding insulation.• Designed a pressure decay leak tester for the inverter logic connector.• Developed a dashboard that visualized machine availability, automated weekly reporting tasks of equipment engineers.Quality Engineering Intern, Paint• Reduced occurrence of e-coat defects by correcting immersion and drainage pathways within the body structure.• Improved vehicle NVH by automating betafoam mix and dispense systems.• Developed a dashboard that visualized defects by responsible zones within the paint shop, enabled production and quality teams to focus support and improve accountability.

• Programmed a bolt cycling fixture to conduct highly accelerated life tests of rifle actions. Compatible mechanisms include turn bolt and straight pull actions.• Developed an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) tracking and visualization system. Resulted in a more consistent measure of identifying losses and benchmarking progress.• Normalized production database to third normal form.
