• Mechanical support on the conceptual design and analysis of space-based missions using CAD and finite element software, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency and commercial initiatives
• Conducted in-house trials and TVAC testing to characterize new hardware and understand its behavior in the space environment (space-rated hardware initiative)
• SolidWorks, Python

Tasked with the mechanical design of a 6U CubeSat payload and bus structure. The spacecraft payload, a pressure vessel which functions as a gamma-ray detector, was designed to be a CubeSat version of the Advanced Energetic Pair Telescope (AdEPT). Model simulations were run to predict the performance and integrity of the payload design. An engineering model.

• I worked with a team to connect engineering and production by maintaining the on-going lifecycle of WESCAM imaging and targeting sensor systems. As a part of the project engineering department, I gained great exposure.
• Manage and act as point-of-contact for customer owned assets and equipment
• Visual Basic Object-oriented programming
• Solid Works, vibration test fixture design and system upgrade validation
• Regression testing and in-field flight tests on systems with hardware and software upgrades
• MS Office, data organization, report and project presentations

• My focus at the Lab of Applied MultiPhase Thermal Engineering (LAMTE) was a research project sponsored by Intel Corporation, designing an experimental setup to analyze and study the thermal behaviour of tablet.
• Benchmark analysis of commercial devices to verify Matlab thermal models
• LabVIEW programming, used to mimic the operation of a tablet handheld
• Solidworks, design of experimental setup
• Machine shop work, construction and assembly of setup (bandsaw, CNC, drill press)
• Experimental testing and validation (data recording and analysis)

• Employed in the Long Wavelength Lab for the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics, I worked on developing an instrument to generate a microwave calibration source for use with the South Pole Telescope.
• Solidworks, design of the experimental setup
• Arduino micro-controller, constructed and programmed the setup to control the calibration instrument
• SprutCAM, generate and implement the CNC g-codes to machine custom parts
• Python, developed a program to measure the accuracy of the calibration source
• Photography, capture high resolution photos to analyze quality of polarizing grid

• Working with the engineering department, I was responsible for maintaining the overall process flow of the plant production line. With exposure to the professional design process, I was involved with all stages from.
• AutoCAD, managed the production line-layout modifications required for new orders
• SolidEdge, responsible for the design, revision and analysis of production line equipment
• Coordination of layout meetings incorporating multiple departments
• Follow-up visits to the off-site machine shop to oversee engineering drawings and material stock
• Handled material purchase requests for numerous cost projects
