Current- Created multiple CAD assemblies of the rudder system and completed analyses, such as FEA, CFD, and wind tunnel testing, to validate the designs. Improvements were introduced to prevent possible failure modes, reduced overdefined systems, and also mitigate possible difficulties in assembly and eventual removal of parts following launch of the boat. - Took ownership in parts procurement, including shaft, bearing, and fastener specifications calculations. - Assisted with the creation… Show more - Created multiple CAD assemblies of the rudder system and completed analyses, such as FEA, CFD, and wind tunnel testing, to validate the designs. Improvements were introduced to prevent possible failure modes, reduced overdefined systems, and also mitigate possible difficulties in assembly and eventual removal of parts following launch of the boat. - Took ownership in parts procurement, including shaft, bearing, and fastener specifications calculations. - Assisted with the creation of rudder prototypes using hands tools, CNC machining, and carbon fiber lay ups.
