Chassis Engineer

• Sep 2021 - Present

- 3-D modeled a Baja chassis and tube mount using SolidWorks. - Utilized precise angle grinding and profiling techniques to modify steel tubes to design specifications. - Employed trade studies to compare different chassis materials and identify the best one for our needs. - Conducted thermal simulations to experimentally determine the survivability time of our Aluminum 5052 firewall in the event of a fuel tank fire as verified by theoretical calculations. - Created weekly design reports to document every step of the designing process for future reference.

Engineering Intern

• Jul 2022 - Sep 2022

- Conducted material research on metal-shell interactions between Inconel 718 and Zircon in investment casting applications where I identified the main elements/reactions responsible for mold penetration as well as the solidification temperature where the greatest risk of mold penetration occurs using industry resources and graduate-level research papers. - Updated and verified 5+ welding Manufacturing Instruction Sheet (MIS) using previous MIS versions, customer drawing specifications, quality control documents, etc. in order to standardize welding operations and improve shop floor accuracy. - Created 40+ scanning Manufacturing Instruction Sheet (MIS) templates using PolyWorks Reviewer in order to standardize scanning operations and reflect approved procedures across different equipment and scanning operators. - Identified and interpreted the correlations (or lack thereof) between part defects using Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) imaging and welding maps before presenting my findings to the Technical Director. - Utilized Solidworks to inspect part CAD models and prepare a cutup plan, outlining each segment of the part and its respective quantitative measurements.

- Attended weekly meetings with a Boeing Mentor and four Student Interns to discuss real-world project ideas, solutions, next steps, suggestions, etc. - Offered advice on how to tackle the project, create a visually appealing presentation, and different perspectives to explore under the larger umbrella of the project. - Attended weekly meetings with a Boeing Mentor and four Student Interns to discuss real-world project ideas, solutions, next steps, suggestions, etc. - Offered advice on how to tackle the project, create a visually appealing presentation, and different perspectives to explore under the larger umbrella of the project.

Engineering Intern

• Jun 2020 - Aug 2020

As 1 of 68 virtual interns selected from 14 southern California schools, my team was tasked with brainstorming for a real-world problem and designing a novel solution to solve said problem. My team chose to design a solar-powered drone that would be able to provide cellular service during disaster situations in which telecommunications infrastructure is often damaged. Over the course of 7 weeks, our idea came to fruition before finally presenting our project in front of a panel of executives from the El Segundo site. Our group came in first at the final presentations. Here's what I did: - Conducted market research on existing solutions (AT&T's COW, Facebook's Aquila, etc.) in addition to similar drone products to incorporate into our design. - Researched different materials used in the aviation industry and utilized a trade study to weigh the pros and cons of each material (ABS, aluminum, glass fiber, carbon fiber thermoplastics, carbon fiber thermosets). - Developed a cost analysis chart to estimate the recurring engineering costs (materials & labor) from components currently on the market as well as nonrecurring engineering costs (research & development) from industry norms. - Calculated theoretical max flight speeds and climb speeds with online resources and manufacturer data. - Received an honorable mention for the Networking Award after connecting with 20 Boeing interns and 16 Boeing employees ranging from entry-level engineer positions to executive positions around the U.S. Show less

Leadership Development Program
