Teradyne Inc. - 2024

During the summer and fall of 2024, I interned as a Mechanical Engineer at Teradyne in Los Angeles. My primary responsibility was to design, document, manufacture, assemble, and validate a modular test bench fixture that would enable engineers to conduct experiments without the risk of damaging multi-million dollar equipment. In addition to my main project, I led a cross-functional team to systematize tens of thousands of production fasteners and streamline mechanical design workflows by integrating SolidWorks PDM with Excel, which reduced human error, sped up file access, and resulted in project cost savings. Furthermore, I coordinated and conducted over 160 design verification tests to transition a system to a more sustainable coolant. I automated pressure tests using actuators, pumps, and Arduino, as well as performed compression tests on foam gaskets, injection-molded enclosures, and silicone valves to identify peak loads at failure. These efforts collectively improved safety and efficiency across Teradyne, and I left a better engineer more well-versed in CAD, component testing, 2D drawings, and the product production cycle.

Kalogon - 2023

For my senior design project, my team and I worked directly with the CEO and Head Engineer of Kalogon to improve their existing products for wheelchair users. To solve this, I led the design and prototyping of an integrated air cooling system that fit within strict spatial and power constraints. We made pipe layouts using SolidWorks to quickly 3D print and Siemens Simcenter for CFD analyses to optimize airflow. In addition to air blowers, we embedded them into a custom high-density foam vein network with airbags, creating an integrated system that combined both airflow and pressure relief. Each prototype was benchmarked against the existing product using given technical specifications. Following the tests, we documented the data, coordinated stakeholder feedback, and validated our design through comfort focus groups, ensuring the final solution improved user comfort and gave Kalogon a competitive market advantage. This year-long project allowed me to gain hands-on experience with startup collaboration, rapid prototyping, and the entire engineering design process.

United Airlines - 2023

In the summer of 2023, I interned as a Powerplant Engineer at United Airlines in Chicago, where I was responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of V2500 engines installed on Airbus 319/320 aircraft. My main project was addressing recurring component failures, which involved me conducting a detailed failure analysis using Palantir to identify damage trends and optimize maintenance cycles, reducing maintenance costs and flight delays. On a day-to-day basis, I developed maintenance bills of materials, authored investigation reports, and proposed targeted mitigation strategies for decommissioned engines. Occasionally, I routed maintenance for decommissioned engines, which required on-site visits across the U.S. and internationally to assess engine conditions and coordinate overhauls. Additionally, I designed a poka-yoke alignment tool to help mechanics accurately position engine alternators, minimizing oil buildup and reducing failure rates. Through these initiatives, I contributed to the maintenance processes and reliability of the V2500 engine fleet. My experience at United Airlines taught me to manage significant responsibilities and quickly address challenges as they arose, strengthening my problem-solving skills.

Georgia Tech Research Institute - 2022

In the summer of 2022, I interned as a Mechanical Research Intern at Georgia Tech Research Institute in Tucson, where the team supported contracted aircraft and electronic warfare projects for the Air Force and Air National Guard. My main project focused on developing a storage system to safely store ECM pods in hangers, so I used SolidWorks to design a cart, rack, and loading apparatus, then used SolidWorks Simulation to perform FEA and ensure the system could handle the load. I also designed assemblies for securing data instruments in aircraft cockpits, ensuring they could withstand high-g forces, and drafted part drawings for tolerance stack-up analyses. Lastly, I worked on creating a hardware library with SolidWorks files and Excel spec sheets for all fasteners on the Air National Guard base. Throughout all projects, I communicated regularly with my engineering team, military technicians, and pilots to refine my designs. This experience not only strengthened my technical communication skills, it also significantly improved my CAD proficiency, enabling me to pass the SolidWorks CSWP Exam afterward.

Boson Motors - 2022

Before my internship at Georgia Tech, I worked as a Testing & Validation Intern at Boson Motors in San Francisco, where I supported the development of the autonomous driving system for an electric truck. Most of my time was spent performing QA testing and code reviews using Python on a Linux command line interface to calibrate the truck's movements. Additionally, I worked alongside a technician to integrate essential mechanical and data collection components such as wheels, steering, GPS, LoRa modules, antennae, and cameras onto the truck. This experience was my first experience in a startup environment and helped me bridge the gap between hardware and software integration.
