ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Senior Design Project (Human Powered Vehicle; Innovation Team Member) June 2017 to May 2018 CSUN, Northridge, California

• Participated in a multi-national competition and developed an award-winning bicycle based on an innovative design within the field of Human Powered Vehicles.

• Designed, analyzed, manufactured, programmed, and tested an autonomous stability system for a two-wheeled bicycle. The stability system involved autonomous actuation based on bicycle speed and tilt angle. The actuation was conducted using a pneumatic cylinder and scuba tank. This system was a new development and had never been documented before.

• The team was awarded 2nd place in innovation and 2nd place overall during the North America – West competition. Automation Design Engineering Intern May 2016 to October 2016 Dynamic Automation, Simi Valley, California

• Designed mechanical components such as precision fixtures, nests, shafts, robot grippers, and more.

• Designed assemblies including but not limited to multi-axis robots, I.A.I. actuators, beam sensors, conveyors, pneumatic actuators, and vibratory feeders. Most notably a machine intended to assemble medical fluid delivery systems with their respective nests.

• Manufactured parts made from aluminum and steel on manual mills and lathes. Parts machined included precision plating/fixturing, shafts, robot grippers, and more.

• Conducted timing studies aimed to better understand where cycle time could be improved. On average, cycle times were improved by 30 percent on studied machines.

• Aided in the construction of one of the largest machines in the company; helped organize and optimize the building process. Also conducted troubleshooting exercises to resolve issues, so the machine would operate as designed. Electro-Mechanical Engineering Intern June 2014 to February 2016 Piston Hydraulic Systems, Inc., El Monte, California

• Reverse engineered parts from existing machines using SolidWorks software. This helped the company store old designs in case a replica needed to be built.

• Introduced to automation controls. Used Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), in conjunction with relays, timers, counters and thermocouples to control subassemblies.

• Created drawings and BOMs for manufacturing based on designs given. GD&T was utilized.
