Taking this approach prevented production stoppages and saved money over time.• Designed jigs for cyclical fatigue tests to validate design updates and fabrication process changes.• Conducted shop floor inspections to identify processes not conforming to standard operating procedures (SOPs). Developed and updated SOPs through communication with assembly workers to address defects. Show less

• Redesigned LiPo pouch cell accumulator (battery pack) bussing scheme for to allow for modularity and maintenance. Redesign included mitigation of potential failure modes.• Mentored younger members and conveyed tips for success in manufacturing, testing, and competing with an FSAE Electric Car.

• Worked with system leads to ensure designs were integrated and complied with rules, without interfering with one another. Identified when designs needed to be adapted to meet the evolving needs of other systems.• Mentored members and provided support to assist and guide members through tasks and projects.• Verified engineering drawings before sending to external suppliers.• Verified compliance with rules and that required documentation was completed before external deadlines.•… Show more • Worked with system leads to ensure designs were integrated and complied with rules, without interfering with one another.
