United States

• 2017 Engine Team Lead for a student-organized group which designs and builds a single seat formula-style race car from the ground up each year. As a lead I had the full end-to-end responsibility to set goals, direct.
• Design improvements and developments earned the team 19th place out of one hundred in Germany.
• Major Accomplishments - Optimized drivetrain to accomplish 30% horsepower gain, zero engine mechanical failures, reduced engine removal time by 7%, and developed 3D-printed throttle body (reduced weight by 50% compared.
• Project Oversight - Ensured sound use of mechanics, materials, tolerance stack-ups, manufacturability, serviceability, and quality management.
• System Projects - Engine development, exhaust, fuel, intake, pedal tray, shifting, and throttle body.
• Innovative Problem Solving - Implemented the use of a soluble 3D printed mold to create a one-piece carbon fiber plenum improving strength and reducing weight. Omitted internal oil reservoir by innovatively rerouting.

United States

• Cooling system design and fabrication - Decreased system weight by 1.0 lbs while maintaining required cooling performance.
• Vehicle maintenance - Provided on/off track service and maintenance for engine team systems.
• FSAE skid pad competition driver – Earned 2nd place at Lincoln engineering racing competition.

• International custom lighting company, producing decorative lighting for high-end commercial and residential installations. Products range from small light fixtures to individual light fixtures in the thousands of.
• Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) - Reduced project lead times by 10%.
• Structural & Mechanical Design - Designed internal structures with stress analysis, and designed mechanical features for maintenance access.
• New Product Development - Worked on hundreds of unique designs for local and international projects.
• Product Prototyping & Verification Testing - Fabricated and performed testing for product compliance (e.g., electrical, structural, ingress, and temperature).
• 3D CAD & 2D Drafting - Produced part drawings, manufacturing/assembly drawings, and installation instructions.

SolidWorks modeling, mechanical and structural design, tool design, product prototyping and testing, UL, CSA and CE product certification, technical communications with clients, product installation instructions, includes duties of drafter.

Created manufacturing drawings, assisted design engineers, processed projects to procurement, data input.
