Manufacturing Engineering Co-op

Rivian Automotive - Body Tophat

Working to improve vehicle design for manufacturability, rebalance and improve existing manufacturing systems and evaluate business cases for addition of manufacturing automation to increase vehicle build rate and quality.

Vehicle Structures Design and MFG

TAMU Sounding Rocketry Team

Responsible for the design, manufacturing, and testing of components for a 30,000 ft-class hybrid composite rocket airframe to compete in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC).

Spearheaded rocket bulkhead design and manufacturing, rocket-tower integration and pressure vessel integration.

Exploring Metal 3D printed bulkhead components to remove constraints of manufacturing and enable continued design evolution.

Testing and benchmarking new composite manufacturing processes for future rockets, focusing on filament carbon fiber tubes, future pressure vessels and characterizing anisotropic forged carbon fiber parts.

Mechanical Engineering Intern - Testing

Vex Robotics

Designed, ran, and analyzed scientific tests to validate product function and define defect tolerances.

Standardized testing practices by writing technical manual and created quick start data analysis templates.

Led multiple projects from the initial ideation and pathfinding phases to multi-iteration design and full-scale production and distribution.

Mechanical Engineering Intern - Design

Vex Robotics

Used Solidworks to prototype and finalize the design of injection molded parts in a rapid development cycle (Injection Molding DFM).

Led the initial ideation and pathfinding of two retail projects in an ambiguous, fast paced environment.

Completed two additional retail projects to be sold at big box retailers.

Student Machinist

TAMU Engineering Design Center

Expanded knowledge of DFM and manufacturing skills using many types of machines to manufacture parts for student projects and university research. Gained experience creating engineering fabrication drawings and exposure to GD&T principles. Taught TAs and students machining principles and safety for MEEN 361.

Director of Development

Tamu FREE - "Freshmen Reaching Excellence in Engineering"

FREE is a 50% professional 50% social organization that connects freshmen so they can grow as students and future engineers. It is the primary leadership organization for freshmen engineers at Texas A&M.

Helped to plan social events for an organization of >100 people. Used python and google sheets API to automate a bi-weekly sort and assignment operation. Led the Big & Little program comprised of >170 people and participation in philantrophy supporting Habitat for Humanity

Team Captain & Head of Design

FIRST Robotics - 6672 Fusion Corps

Led a team of 40 to raise an annual budget of ~$45,000 and compete in a 10 week global competition. Self-taught CAD, CAM and CNC manufacturing and transformed team manufacturing capability.
