-Designed platforms to improve safety in a large test rig structure. Platforms were designed to fit and move modularly as needed to accommodate different test products and designs.-Responsible for designing a new test fixture part that greatly reduced teardown time between changing test modes. Used engineering drawings to get quotes and lead times from manufacturers, and the part was implemented with positive feedback from technicians.-Designed new test setups for the four main axle tests to decrease the footprint of the current test setups and allow for greater modularity for more varied axle and suspension designs.-Gained more experience in larger ANSYS FEA systems and different modes of analysis and results-Created a motion simulated model of a suspension test to assist senior engineers in fixing an interference problem during test movement
