• Lead 40 engineers in the design, integration, manufacturing, and testing of the team’s first electric vehicle.• Conduct weekly design integration meetings with system leads to define overall vehicle architecture, including ideal ergonomic driver positioning and center of gravity placement, suspension kinematic points, chassis structure, and tractive system mounting.• Developed model in Excel that evaluated the tradeoff of downforce & drag of the drag reduction system versus vehicle power, identifying an ideal activation time that was validated physically on track, resulting in 5% faster acceleration launches.• Designed enclosure for high voltage battery pack that mitigates risk of water & debris ingress, shorting, and combustion, while ensuring all structural, service, cooling, and safety requirements are met.• Obtained vehicle cooling architecture and heat dissipation requirements via hand calculations, lap simulation data, and ANSYS steady state/transient thermal simulations

Palo Alto, California, United States

•Collaborated with a cross-functional team of engineers to support the design development, prototyping, validation, CAD release, production, and launch of a both a new vehicle and energy product.• Directed the design, manufacturing, and assembly of a thermal test enclosure to simulate component layout, identify risks for general assembly, trial tooling and service methods, and evaluate coolant flow performance of the thermal systems.• Coordinated the production of a prototype product by constructing a bill of materials for tracking, organizing packaging study timelines, creating a model in 3DExperience, and collaborating with engineers and suppliers to fabricate and source 1700 components.• Designed 5 thermal manifold mounting brackets in 3DExperience and ANSYS, mitigating manifold abrasion and connection burst risk, error-proofing the assembly process, and ensuring ergonomic component installation and service operations.

Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States

• Oversaw Corrosion & Fixtures Manufacturing processes inside the paint shop and investigated process improvements aimed to reduce cycle time and annual costs while maintaining or improving vehicle quality for BMW X-series models.• Modeled and prototyped 5 fixture rack designs in CATIA V5 that met capacity, safety & ergonomic constraints for holding and transporting new model paint fixtures and communicated with multiple suppliers to reduce costs on rack manufacturing by 20%.• Analyzed 150 material samples from new line robots to implement Liquid Applied Sound Deadener (LASD) into the corrosion process and validate robots were dispensing proper material density and volume.• Conducted 70 trials to validate proper prototype pneumatic hood fixture behavior in the E-coat ovens, allowing the team to implement a fixture with a 200% longer shelf life and an annual cost reduction of $100,000.

Gainesville, Florida, United States

• Prepare monthly newsletters for network of corporate sponsors and 128 alumni. • Organized technical engineering reviews evaluating progress across all 10 vehicle subsystems.• Cofounded recruitment team of 10 members to streamline recruitment and increase social media presence.• Established business team of 9 members to generate cost reports and market the team to potential partners.• Collaborated with local schools and the Girl Scouts to host educational workshops for over 200 children.• Assisted executive board to successfully fundraise upwards of $5,000.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Led team of 8 engineers for 2 years in the implementation of driver controls into a formula style race car.• Modeled vehicle pedal assembly, steering wheel, steering column, seatback, clutch system, and safety components in SolidWorks.• Reduced weight of pedal assembly by 30% and manufacturing time by 60% while exceeding previous design’s structural integrity.• Constructed modular 80/20 cockpit test fixture and conducted tests to determine vehicle dimensions to safely package drivers ranging from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male.• Utilized finite element models and hand calculations to design steering column to meet safety & compliance requirements.• Oversaw the manufacturing of 90 components through traditional and composite manufacturing methods.• Performed destructive testing on 3 composite coupons to design seat to endure extreme heat for a prolonged time before combustion.
