Objective: To obtain a position in a company that allows professional growth while working.
Education: California State University, Long Beach, College of Engineering. Bachelors of Science in Mechanical
Engineering, May 2013
Computer Skills: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, Matlab/ Simulink
(numerical methods, dynamic and kinematic analysis, finite element analysis, design of control systems), SolidWorks (2D
modeling, 3D modeling, FEA of stress, heat, fluid, thermal, and vibrations. GD&T per ASME Y14.5,BOM), AutoCad
(2D modeling, 3D modeling, GD&T per ASME Y14.5,BOM).
Work Experience: Intern with Koshigoe & Associates (March 2013-present): Duties include training in CAD software
to analyze the vibrations and acoustics of commercial vehicles, creating material database, structural database
subsystem database, creating shells and acoustic cavities of the vehicles.
Projects (while in school):
January 2012 to December 2012
Design of mechanical engineering systems course and Garvey Space Craft Corporation
Provided research and development for an entire 6-month, senior-year mechanical engineering design project. This
project was for the design of a transporter erector launcher, a device on which a rocket is placed and the machine
prepares it for launch. Methods of mechanics of materials, dynamics, heat transfer, cost analysis, and failure theories
were used for the design of the machine. Computational methods used included modeling of the machine and its
components on SolidWorks, and the use of finite element analysis for stress, and heat transfer studies.
February 2013 to May 2013
Design of mechanical control systems
Mechanical controls systems course: Inverted Pendulum Technical Analyst / Experimentation Designer
Analyzed and designed a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller based upon physical and electronic
feedback properties used in industrial systems. Utilized SIMULINK multi-domain simulation and model design
together with DAQ (Data Acquisition) processes to sample signals measuring physical conditions and convert them
into digital numeric values in a way that enabled controller design and accurate response analysis.
