Automation of Carbon Fibre Tape Springs for Self-Deploying Space Structures Test RigAdapted an existing test rig to be automated to allow repeatability and reproducible. Motors, controlled by Arduino microcontrollers, turned mounts through 90° whilst recording torque and angle, with a feedback loop ensuring the torque was equal on both sides.UAV Vehicle DesignPart of a team of 15, led the CAD side of the design of a UAV to meet the requirements of BMFA Payload Challenge.

Motors, controlled by Arduino microcontrollers, turned mounts through 90° whilst recording torque and angle, with a feedback loop ensuring the torque was equal on both sides.UAV Vehicle DesignPart of a team of 15, led the CAD side of the design of a UAV to meet the requirements of BMFA Payload Challenge. This involved controlling the overall model, liaising with other sub-teams to amend the model as designs and sizing changed and delegating tasks. The end result was a full model in Solidworks and drawings ready for manufacture.Water WheelPart of a team of 6 designing and building a waterwheel. I created the complete Solidworks model and drawings which received a mark of 87.8%. The waterwheel came 4th for its power production.Buggy CompetitionPart of a team of 6 designing and building a motorised buggy with on board control system. Designed and developed the control system (Labview) and the chassis (Solidworks), from which detailed drawings were made for the team to follow in assembly. The buggy recorded the fastest time out of 13 teams.Thermofluids LabsCollected data within a group, which was then analysed individually. I implemented my knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics to produce a report. Three experiments were carried out and analysed, which included viscosity of oils, energy loss in pipe flow and flow around a circular cylinder in a wind tunnel. The mark I received was 70%.Glider BuildPart of a team of 6 designing and building a glider. Designed and developed the wings and created detailed drawings to be used in the building process. Manufactured the glider and the launcher, and helped adapt the launcher when it became damaged. The glider received a mark of 78. Show less

This included updating drawings in Pro/ENGINEER, maintaining parts in SAP and sourcing new parts. • Provided engineering support including changing drawings and BOMs• Led a team of draughtsmen in India to complete engineering change to meet deadlines, e.g. mass drawing updates, setting up parts in new plants• Provided SAP support and training for experienced engineers and administrators• Tested pressure sensors to maintain safety certificates, reduce cost and improve quality. This involved designing a pressure adaptor which could not be sourced.• Led and supported group project for 20 Loughborough University students. This involved presenting the project brief, investigating their questions about the project and providing feedback to presentations• Drove a project to use £50k of stock in other products to reduce scrap, meeting business needs• Presented group project on EHS perception to site leaders and managers• Worked with suppliers to replace obsolete parts with suitable alternatives, especially when the RoHS 2 directive came into force• Consolidated 4 similar products into a single range, saving the company storage space whilst creating simplicity for customers• Created drawings and BOMs for generic sensor to allow subsea to sell universally as opposed to a bespoke product. This created the opportunity to sell to new, one-off customers • Created drawings and BOMs for spares of an instrument, allowing customers to be able to fix their parts themselves• Worked with the technical regulations and standards team to create and maintain licences to allow products to be shipped. When outbound orders were on block, I had to investigate to determine if they could be released• Wrote site procedure for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH) regulations• Taught new interns the role so the business had a smooth transition when I left Show less
