As the Mobility Project Lead it is my responsibility to ensure that Mobility members can learn and actively participate in the creation of the Mobility unit. I additionally provide technical assistance, tackle design, and perform administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the Mobility team.

Managed the team tasked with designing the tread subassembly of this design cycle's Mobility unit. Worked to design the subframe and source commercial off-the-shelf parts.

During this design cycle, I onboarded onto the team and designed the drivetrain hubs to be integrated into the wheels for the 2022 rover design.

Working to simulate the electrical systems of a Peterbilt truck in Simulink to enable the addition of systems necessary to convert the vehicle to an electric drivetrain.
