Engineer on the Atmospheric Robotics Team

Worked full-time as a mechanical engineer on various teams and projects at Gener8, an engineering design consulting firm.• Performed every aspect of product development, including prototyping, designing, developing, testing, iterating, and transitioning to larger-scale manufacturing. Worked on nine projects, some of which I was the primary or sole mechanical engineer.• Engineered biotechnology devices, consumer products, and medical devices, including Gener8’s first Class III medical device.• Performed FEA and engineering calculations, including thermal, structural, machine design, tolerance, and optical calculations.• Designed and modeled parts and assemblies using Solidworks, created drawings using GD&T to assure that design criteria are met.• Managed time and deliverables while balancing deadlines for multiple projects at once. Worked on both large and small teams.• Utilized or created thermal control, pneumatic systems, optomechanics, electronics, programming, and advanced manufacturing.• Design components and systems utilizing machining, sheet metal fabrication, optical fabrication, 3D printing, urethane casting, and injection molding.• Have designed parts and systems systems involving general mechanical and structural design, electronics housing and structure, mechanisms and sensors, aesthetics design, automation technology, optics, and pneumatic design.• Worked primarily in the medical devices division, but have also gained experience in fields such as biotech and general consumer products.

Tutor for the Drahmann Center at SCU, where I assisted peers in understanding advanced calculus concepts

Led a team in establishing relationships with companies and organizations to provide funding and mentorships for our chapter.

I assist the teacher in instructing and running the lab for physics 12, which deals with a wide variety of physical concepts.

In this position, I worked on a multidisciplinary team to analyze, improve, develop, and manufacture a variety of products. • Consistently underwent entire design process, from problem identification to component design and CAD, part manufacturing, and solution implementation. Regularly fixed, troubleshot, and built upon pre-existing systems.• Performed thorough engineering calculations, such as statics and heat transfer, to predict or design for desired system behavior.• Assembled prototypes and systems from scratch, including specifying parts and creating specialized components such as cables.• Extensively used Solidworks for design, model alteration, and drawing creation for part manufacturing.

Mechanical Engineering Intern at an industrial automation start-up, where I was assigned ownership of multiple projects and tasks. Identified problems, led brainstorming sessions, and selected solutions. Tested, implemented, and CADed results and created documentation. • Used Solidworks to design and create components to specification and perform tolerance stack-up analysis.• Designed components while considering constraints like cost, function, manufacturing, safety, ergonomics, & material properties.• Participated in research and development for proof of concept and optimization.• Experience in collaborating in teams and adapting designs to changes in project direction.

Trained as a biomedical engineer to repair and maintain hospital equipment. Repaired EKG machines and other medical equipment, replaced and upgraded computer parts, and performed general upkeep and maintenance duties at an over 600 bed large city center hospital.
