Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

Working on the design and industrialisation of new and existing passive sensor products and contributing to the improvement of production equipment and processes. Reliable, accurate, secure and passive sensors are essential enablers for a smart and renewable electricity grid - I'm proud to play my part in this once-in-a-generation transition.

I am responsible for developing EGG's luminaire remanufacture process, including procurement of used products, design engineering and managing compliance with relevant standards and legislation.

Bristol, United Kingdom

Responsible for supporting innovative new product development with ownership of multiple technology areas. My role included academic research, concept design, CAD modelling and prototyping, electro-mechanical design and prototyping, testing and writing technical reports. I presented technical prototypes to external stakeholders, including potential investors.

Working in the Body, Trim and Design Feasibility departments, I gained an understanding of the automotive design process by working with experienced colleagues on vehicles in development. Working in the Body department I produced a CAD scheme for an improved security doorhandle to meet consumer expectations.Working in the Trim department I was mainly involved with seating, where I contributed to the development of a prototype interior 'buck', and separately designed and built my… Show more Working in the Body, Trim and Design Feasibility departments, I gained an understanding of the automotive design process by working with experienced colleagues on vehicles in development. Working in the Body department I produced a CAD scheme for an improved security doorhandle to meet consumer expectations.Working in the Trim department I was mainly involved with seating, where I contributed to the development of a prototype interior 'buck', and separately designed and built my own vision of an innovative seating solution.Working in Design Feasibility I participated in the design process of a new vehicle, including sketch reviews and critical sections. I produced work contributing to the creation of a more efficient design feasibility process which could be carried out rapidly by a small team.Additionally, I was fortunate to work with the 6 other interns to restore and revitalise an MGB using modern MG components - a 2.0T engine, EPS and ABS. My specific role was to improve the braking performance of the vehicle, which involved benchmarking, feasibility studies, organisation and procurement, fabrication and installation. The completed vehicle has been touring motorsport events and gaining attention from enthusiasts as an exciting one-off demonstrator. Show less
