- Designed sand & dust development test stand to investigate environmental seal designs for compliance to DO-160G standard- Redesigned aerodynamic shroud to improve safety of flight and integration assembly while maintaining thermal and aerodynamic performance- Designed custom captive fastener inserts for ultrasonic assembly in thermoplastic aero shroud- Communicated with external vendors to develop custom and OTS parts for shroud assembly

- Led the development of system-level design requirements through the use of competition points analysis along with system simulation models for event performance- Managed a team of design leads developing a complete system redesign of the transmission, powertrain, and suspension driven by new system-level requirements- Designed front gearbox & 4WD routing to help complete full powertrain redesign- Performed and assisted in component stress analysis in Ansys

- Researched and ideated solutions for problems with the current 4WD system- Used thorough analysis and calculations to select and plan important design changes- Currently working on a rework to the Torque Limiter to improve packaging and serviceability of our 4WD drivetrain- Lead new members to construct our Powertrain system on car- Managed and supported new club members on design/testing projects

- Designed Torque Limiting clutch and housing to significantly decrease the overall size, weight, and cost when compared to previously purchased components- Presented in design review to alumni and faculty- Field tested temperature changes of Torque Limiter assembly for redesign validation - Collected slip data to quantify the use case for our variable 4WD system- Worked with Electronics team to mount hall-effect sensors to measure shaft speed ratios- Instructed new members on design and manufacturing for various powertrain components- Manufactured mounting tabs and welding fixtures for powertrain assembly- Begun testing and optimization for torque limiter project

- Worked on designing and modeling for the powertrain subsystem- Performed design work in both an individual and team setting with effective organization and communication- Researched various solutions and documented design decisions
