AMRDEC, January – August 2016 AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Auburn, AL Team Member, Team Scribe, IMU Lead
• Constructed a packaging system for an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in a missile to reduce gunfire vibrations exposed onto an aircraft’s wing
• Successfully collaborated as cross-function teams to apply knowledge in different areas of engineering to design and manufacture a test structure to withstand gunfire simulation
• Led in research, simulation, and testing of package designs for the IMU to dampen the gunfire vibrations by subjecting it to different vibration systems
• Supported in the preparation of concept and product presentations/reports that included: bill of materials, manufacturing procedures, test data, CODs, and design conclusions CAD Project, January – May 2014
Team Manager
• Designed an innovative, economical, and versatile cart design that could traverse through a beach and ease the transportation of equipment
• Led and managed a team of five to maximize productivity, improve design quality, and reduce overall costs
• Modeled and assembled design through SolidWorks and implemented Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure design was durable under applied loads Work
