Developed series hybrid electric vehicle model using Matlab Simulink to simulate powertrain performance, completion of test cases derived from customer requirements, and inform sizing of core vehicle subsystems.Led and planned the assembly and install of gen-sets in five robotic tracked vehicle prototypes delivered to the US Army, collaborating with.

Fort Worth, Texas, US

Support the R&D Manufacturing group fabricating parts and assemblies for analysis, test aircraft, and process improvement; working closely with design engineers to improve design for manufacture with the latest technology. Coordinate and collaborate with union members in a fast-paced lab environment specializing in traditional machining, Additive.

Haslet, Texas, US

Worked in the Test & Evaluation group- planned, conducted, and performed analysis for multidisciplinary ground and flight tests on Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Tests ranged from individual components to entire system functionality. Also worked in Mishap Investigations group performing root-cause failure analysis to identify problems and generate design.

• Senior Design Team designed, manufactured, and tests a single-seat off-road vehicle according to SAE competition requirements over three semesters.
• Lead development of the front suspension (double-wishbone) structures and hardware. Designed and modeled upper and lower control arm assemblies in NX10 and used Ansys FEA to optimize part properties for performance to.
• Worked on the Modeling & Simulation subteam as the lead for the full car model in NX10. Assembled, constrained, and managed updates of the full vehicle assembly: containing 100+ parts/subassemblies from different.

Augusta, Georgia, US

• Designed, programmed, and fabricated a cost-effective autonomous DAQ using microcontrollers, which collects and transmits real time data wirelessly from vehicles in the field.
• Performed a variety of tests (Sound, Vibration, etc.) on production vehicles to ensure compliance with industry (ISO) and company standards.
• Undertook and applied design training with NX10 and NX Teamcenter.
• Gained hands-on experience with high precision tools, instrumentation, and data analysis software.

• Manage a team of 10-15 other students to produce and serve high quality meals in large volumes
• Practiced good customer service and communication with guests and employees.
• Managed inventory and stock of stored food items/supplies.
• Develop strong teamwork skills and delegate work to others as necessary.
