Worked as a mechanical design intern to help design, build, and test an antitheft smart post box for secure parcel delivery. The primary goal was to employ innovative thinking and technical proficiency to build durable and hard-working prototypes that would boost the company's reputation while being tested and released for manufacturing when they met or exceeded product quality and safety standards. Key Accomplishments:• Designed and developed a concept for a smart parcel box with anti-theft features, including secure locking mechanisms and motion sensors.• Developed an anti-theft feature for the smart parcel box using kinematics of motion.• Initiated, executed design control activities together with other internal teams to host brainstorms and other ideation activities.• Utilised SolidWorks to create 3D models and assemblies of the parcel box, focusing on ergonomics, durability, and cost-effective manufacturing.• Performed heavy CAD workload throughout the development cycle to flesh out creative yet feasible ideas and to execute the final design from conception to manufacturing. • Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to refine the product based on user feedback and prototype testing.• Created technical drawings and BOMs (Bill of Materials) for manufacturing.• Developed collaborative relationships with internal and outsourced development partners on the mechanical design and development.• Generated documentation including design specifications, custom part drawings, assembly drawings, engineering Bill of Materials, common feature drawing and process flows.

Maintaining structural integrity while reducing the weight of the car is one of the main challenges of the team. Designed, fabricated and tested carbon fibre suspension links for Newcastle Racing’s 11th car. The steel suspension links that the team currently uses are to be replaced by lightweight carbon fibre links. This allows for the reduction of the car mass while maintaining similar or superior strength when compared to steel. The main failure criteria on the NR11 suspension links were due to buckling loads. Compression and tensile tests were carried out on the Shimadzu test machine over various carbon fibre tubes with aluminium inserts, inserted at both ends. The optimum design was identified by testing the carbon fibre tubes. The carbon fibre tubes accounted for around 40-50% of weight reduction when compared to the steel suspension links.
