I work at Polaris as a Sr. Systems engineer for suspensions on Indian motorcycles. I am the lead engineer for suspension components and the system's structural design. I worked at Honda R&D as a suspension design engineer for over 3 years. I've worked extensively with Catia and the other internal suspension design tools. I developed a new Multi-Link suspension from an atypical geometry concept into mass production mature system. I received a patent for one of the structures that I had the idea for. I excel at complex and all-inclusive thinking and problem solving. I've been responsible for the creation of design concepts, generation of 3D layouts and 2D drawings, verification of performance & manufacturability, and management of cost & weight. I've been responsible for component development plans, schedules, and coordination of supporting activity with related departments, suppliers, and factories. I have demonstrated design capability, am self-motivated, technically inquisitive, and have a desire for comprehensive understanding of Chassis Design and its impact to overall vehicle performance, including vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, fuel economy, marketability, and value to the customer.Baja SAE race team - vehicle dynamics, suspension systems, data acquisition, composites, competition driver, welding, fabrication, machining, ergonomicsSpecialties: Structural component design, bolted joints, suspension systems, and vehicle dynamics.

Mechanical Engineering Co-OpAnaren Sep 2010 - Feb 2011Santa Ana, Ca, UsI analyzed the power handling capability of circuit components by conducting thermal simulations and testing. I also designed a thermal testing apparatus as well as a series of experiments to accompany it. -
Mechanical Engineering Co-OpCummins Engine Company Dec 2008 - Aug 2009Columbus, Indiana, UsI worked as engineering support for the assembly line. For this, I analyzed assembly failure data recorded by the operators to highlight and quantify issues, opportunities and re-occurring malfunctions which were costing the company significant operating expenses. I would then investigate the situation, develop several solutions, and submit a report to my supervisor and the quality control department. At this point, they would choose one of my suggestions and I would be assigned to designing and implementing the solution per my presentation. Once my solutions were in operation, I would do a follow-up report to verify their success and present the results to my department directors.
