• Design radio frequency (RF) connectors and components in SolidWorks using design for manufacturing, lean manufacturing, and design for cost. Design using mechanical and electrical simulation to optimize the performance.
• Design assembly tooling, visual assembly processes, and test fixtures used in the verification and validation of product
• Lead assembly technicians in first-time production builds to ensure efficient tooling, processes, and test methods are developed
• Troubleshooting assembly or performance issues using x-ray, optical measurements, network analyzers, and TDR measurements
• Prototyping and testing of new and existing product through the use of 3D printing, stamping, milling, and lathe machining

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Working closely with two professors and two other students to design, manufacture, and implement a gyroscopically self-stabilizing wheel robot as a final project for the Dynamics and Controls System Lab
• Developing the governing dynamics for the robot to be used in the design of the proportional-derivative controllers. These controllers will be implemented using LabVIEW to command 2 three-axis gyroscopes and one drive.
• Developing drawings and lab materials as guides and references for students to use in order to learn the concepts and control theory behind the robot for the final project of the class

• Created solid models of propellers and other pump components in SolidWorks
• Computed bearing life calculations for Morrison Pump thrust pods, and ensured that they met the industry standard put forth by the ABMA (American Bearing Manufacturers Association)
• Updated propeller models by revising the propeller's blade profile
• Ran stress simulations of each propeller under various loadings in SolidWorks, analyzed the results, and presented the information to Morrison's lead engineer.
• Visited two job sites around the South Florida area, interacted with other engineers, and assisted in the start up of a pump station prior to inspection by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
• Created photorealistic renderings of pumps and pump stations to be used in marketing catalogues
