• Personally responsible for additional funding of $100k compared to previous years• Initiated process development for organizing, managing, safety, and part purchasing for both cars• Liaison between SJSU administrators and the team to get facilities up to code for battery assembly and safety standards

• Designed a common chassis for our combustion and electric cars that allowed shared suspension and aero components with slight variations to powertrain mounting. Increased torsional rigidity for SRE-6 from 1125ft lb/deg to 2030 ft lb/deg• Decreased build time by 1+ month of two chassis by sharing welding jig, decreasing unique parts, and reducing steps • Managed sub-team responsible for welding of two chassis SR-13 and SRE-6 and all chassis components and brackets • Coordinated between multiple sub-teams: component packaging, part layout, and interferences• Took ownership of completing cars by using project management skills and leading others, as well as supporting sub-teams with spot welding battery modules, cutting and laying carbon fiber, and epoxying aero pieces• Applied FEA on chassis for torsional rigidity, toe compliance, and safety analysis• Manufactured chassis and suspension parts using in-house mills, lathes, and welding equipment

• Designed and built modular aluminum enclosure, sheet metal parts, and plastic parts for mass production audio amplifier • Modular design allowed for simplified and faster design variations • Worked with manufacturers to bring DSD into mass production using injection molding, extrusion, stamping• Created manufacturing drawings and DXFs in SolidWorks to be sent to suppliers• Performed rapid prototyping using FDM 3D printing and contracted out wire EDM, aluminum stamping, and polyjet printing to build prototype models• Applied FEA and thermal analysis for dongle enclosure to certify amplifier for home use
