• Mechanical Engineer I

  • Jun 2021 - Oct 2022

  Sparks, Nevada, United States Developed automated improvements of current machinery for both cost and operator safety. Worked to fully automate cleaning systems for heated rollers and recommission machines after installing improvements. Designed a laser printer enclosure to reduce laser intensity from class 4 to class 1 in order to print QR codes onto material for process tracking

• Planetary Sampling and Acquisition Engineering Intern

  • Sep 2020 - Jun 2021

  Worked in the Planetary Sampling and Acquisition group (352A). Contributed to the Europa Lander project by developing a test plan for a pneumatic transfer system testbed to determine the relationships in the transport velocity of a gas to parameters of the granular materials transported, such as particle cohesion, diameter, particle-wall friction, etc.
