• Powertrain and Electronics Lead - Formula SAE

  • Oct 2015 - Jun 2019

  2018-2019: Powertrain and Electronics Lead - Managed two subsystem groups consisting of 10 students. Areas of focus included engine, air intake system, cooling system, wiring harness, and data acquisition systems. - Improved construction methods for vehicle wiring harness to improve reliability and reduce overall vehicle construction time. 2017-2018: Co-Powertrain Lead • Redesigned cooling system. Performed testing to produce pump curves and heat rejection data. Used a sponsor's simulation software to specify a design for custom radiators and select fans. • Updated previous year's drivetrain design to reduce weight. Improved finite element models by analyzing assemblies to better model boundary conditions applied to individual components. 2016-2017: Drivetrain Lead • Redesigned chain drive system for 2017 Formula SAE racecar. Reduced weight and improved structural rigidity. Created and used finite element models in ANSYS to predict stresses in components. Optimized gearing using lap time simulation software. • Trained new team members in machining techniques, and led manufacturing process for items produced in house. https://www.wolfpackmotorsports.com/formula-team/ Show less
