Structures Lead
CurrentLead structures team to design robust lightweight UAV fuselage & payload deployment mechanism. Leveraged design skills in Solidworks & manufacturing skills in composite and subtractive manufacturing processes to design ~13 lbs fuselage. Prototyped purely mechanical 2-stage delayed parachute deployment mechanism to land payload inside a 40-foot diameter circle from 80ft+ off the ground with 85% accuracy. Diagnosed vehicle issues during flight testing involving PID tracking, vibration analysis, and autonomous feature testing using PX4 flight review software
