• Iteratively designed satellite structural components in Solidworks and conducted frequency/vibration FEA in Simcenter to inform design decisions, while keeping mass and manufacturing costs low• Effectively interfaced with the relevant teams to design, analyze, and document GSE needed for AIT• Supported qualification and acceptance vibration testing campaigns for flight model hardware

San Francisco, California, United States

• Redesigned spacecraft GSE components by analyzing deficiencies in previous designs and taking a systems engineering approach to ensure new designs meet all requirements, while keeping production costs low• Utilized iterative design and rapid prototyping approaches (e.g. 3D printing, small scale models) while incorporating DFA and DFM principles • Conducted random vibration tests, sine sweep tests, and shock tests to environmental qualification levels to validate spacecraft component design• Developed end-to-end project lifecycle, from defining the problem, through its design iterations, to purchasing and delivery of parts• Presented design reviews to team and incorporated feedback into subsequent design iterations

London, Ontario, Canada

• Led the Mechanical team and oversaw design, assembly, integration, and testing project phases for the CubeSat while following all space-rated design specifications/guidelines• Designed structural components with Solidworks and created CAD drawings for manufacturing • Ran frequency and vibration simulations for the satellite structure on Solidworks and conducted random vibration tests of the CubeSat on a shaker table • Developed assembly and test procedures, reports, cost analyses, schedule spreadsheets, and other documentation• Worked with external suppliers to ensure project deliverables while keeping costs low• Planned and presented at outreach and educational events for the CubeSat to enhance scientific knowledge and interest in the communityThe Western University CubeSat Project, funded by the Canadian Space Agency, designed and built a satellite with Earth-imaging and VR capabilities. The CubeSat, named Ukpik-1, was launched into space on June 5, 2023 and was deployed from the International Space Station on July 6, 2023.

London, Ontario, Canada

• Worked on structural CAD design of the CubeSat to ensure it can withstand vibrational loads during launch and follows all design specifications/guidelines • Developed frequency and vibration simulations using SOLIDWORKS Simulation• Presented mechanical design and simulation results to Canadian Space Agency staff during the Critical Design Review presentation

London, Ontario, Canada

• Worked closely with teammates to revamp the satellite requirements spreadsheet, which allows other team members to easily reference the data and base designs and testing off of it• Organized, updated, and maintained project documents like the Bill of Materials and technical Wiki on Microsoft Teams• Analyzed and reconciled technical specifications and data across different subsystems to ensure accuracy and cohesiveness• Scheduled meetings with team members to discuss various issues within the data

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

• Took initiative to redesign a new gauge with Solidworks for their CD6R part, saving the company thousands of dollars, and created the respective CAD drawings • Conducted detailed inspection of parts using a variety of gauges to ensure quality standards are upheld• Analyzed process specification documents using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD+T)• Tracked daily supplier quality data using Excel• Conducted internal audits on machine operator knowledge for various manufacturing lines• Supported the development of quality standards for new components • Interpreted CMM results to determine quality cohesiveness • Developed instructional training videos to help new machine operators with using gauges

London, Ontario, Canada

• Worked on the Integrated Vision System - Multispectral Imager (IVS-MSI) project as part of Dr. Jayshri Sabarinathan's research group• Led designs of a shaker table interface plate CAD model and performed vibration simulations in Solidworks• Coordinated meetings with internal and external members to discuss CAD designs and test proceduresThe IVS-MSI camera system, funded by the Canadian Space Agency and developed by the Institute for Earth & Space Exploration at Western University, has lunar rover applications that can detect specific materials in rocks on the lunar surface
