Shawn Arya Email and Phone Number
I am a Mechanical Engineer with a track record of solving technically challenging problems in multiple industries. I am currently working on developing automotive fuel cell technologies, and have previous experience in the design of PET injection molding machines and robots. During my career, I have used tools such as ANSYS, Unigraphics, SolidWorks and FloEFD to execute FEA, CFD simulations and CAD. I am highly motivated to work in product, industrial, and mechanical design in collaborative and multi-disciplinary settings. I'm particularly interested in human transport via automobiles, aircraft, and motorcycles, and working with sustainable energy solutions.I have experience with project management and leading teams to bring components to production. In my current role, I am responsible for coordinating design, testing, supplier selection and collaboration, and documentation activities in multi-disciplinary, international teams. I graduated in June 2021 from the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Applied Science with Honors. I was awarded the John Weber Scholarship for Mechanical Engineering for my work designing a medical supply delivery drone in my fourth year of study. I have experience with aerodynamics and CFD in the design of autonomous, medical supply delivery drones or active aerodynamics packages for racing vehicles.

Mechanical EngineerUnilia (Canada) Fuel Cells, Inc. Jan 2022 - Nov 2023Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaI design & test the next generation of hydrogen fuel cell products coming to market. My role is a mix of project management, design, and data analysis. I work with production, quality, and test engineers to bring designs to production through iterative prototyping and testing. I help create all documentation required to qualify a product for mass-production, and document the product development process via milestones derived from the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) automotive standard. Components I've designed have been critical in delivering robust products to customers, and products delivered prior to the design of these components have since been recalled and retrofit to enable a greater degree of robustness. I have earned two design patents as Primary Inventor for the design of these components. I was deeply involved in the drafting and application of these patents following collaboration with a multinational team of lawyers.In addition to my technical achievements, I help foster a strong company culture by volunteering for company events, mentoring interns, and stepping up to take on new responsibilities inside the workplace. -
Development DesignerHusky Injection Molding Systems May 2021 - Nov 2021Bolton, Ontario, CanadaI use CAD, FEA, and math to develop and design new technologies and draft the engineering drawings necessary to bring these concepts to life. At a high level, my work includes:• Designing, prototyping, and testing an automated materials handling SCARA type robot with EOAT delivering material handling speeds twice as fast as previous designs.• Developing tightly choreographed sequences for automated robotic production processes with respect to optimizing cycle times and efficiency.• Earning buyoff from key stakeholders through well-received presentations and testing/validation procedures.• Supporting the development of a novel EOAT designIn addition to my technical work, I took initiative to improve the onboarding process for junior engineers and interns by developing an onboarding process consisting of documents, guides, and technical introductions to the the machines we worked on the and the tools we worked with. -
