Co-Op Student
CurrentCollaborated with a team of co-op students to design a shock test apparatus simulating shock environment in aerospace systems and launch vehicles, expanding the company’s in-house testing capabilities. Identified mission critical failure points and communicated possible solutions directly to a customer supporting manned space missions. Used Abaqus, Siemens NX, and Femap for FEA impact analysis.Created a Python model to predict the physical behavior of the shock test apparatus streamlining design process, ensuring test accuracy, and aiding in the identification of budget requirements. Designed and machined a variety of aluminum and steel parts used for payload transportation. Used a lathe and CNC machine for part manufacturing, and Siemens NX for CAD design.
