• Create new hose and wire routing designs for both in and out of vacuum environments

• Design solutions for pipe volume conflicts in NX

• Work in cleanroom environment to evaluate opportunities for design improvements

• Use Romer Arm CMM to take detailed measurements

• Collaborate with outside venders to design and develop prototypes and cost reduction ideas

• Develop designs for cost reduction efforts (potential saving of $7,000)

• Write a series of transportation stability tests for optical assemblies

• Generate and edit testing and assembly documents

• Investigate the feasibility of purchasing a company 3D printer

iRobot Bedford, Massachusetts (August 2013 to February 2014)

Mechanical Engineering Intern

• Oversaw the maintenance and workflow of Objet 3D printer

• Ran tests on Roombas to evaluate pick up performance, handle strength, material degradation, and connection bin issues

• Arranged presentation for demonstration of personal robot, the “Model L”

• Contributed to testing document intended for customers of a telepresence robot

• Assembled electrical connectors that enabled extended runtime for the robots

• General robot diagnostics and troubleshooting

BorgWarner Ithaca, New York (September 2012 to February 2013)

Co-op Student in Product Engineering

• Developed a presentation summarizing intellectual property

• Utilized microscopes to obtain high quality pictures as part of a failure mode investigation

• Conducted mechanical tests, such as spring testing, prv limit testing, and benchmarking of competitors products

• Collected and organized data generated from the tests

• Used SolidWorks 2010 to design test fixtures and to evaluate product designs

Lexmark Lexington, Kentucky (March 2011 to August 2011)

Paperpath Subsystem Student Engineer

• Involved in the research and development of new high-end color laser printers

• Ran tests on existing printers to analyze print quality and frequency of jamming

• Utilized a high-speed camera to observe paper as it progressed through the existing printer

• Modified parts and drawings for printer prototypes

• Used Siemens NX CAD software to generate drawings

Project Experience and Awards:

• Six Sigma (DMAIC) Fatigue Characteristic Project – Investigated the fatigue characteristics of a given sample material. When it was found to have significantly higher properties than what was expected, an investigation was undertaken. Utilizing Six Sigma tools, such as Fish Bone Diagram, Pareto Chart, and ANOVA, the group was able to identify the cause of the discrepancy and develop a method for obtaining the desired properties.

• Six Sigma (DMADVV) Fatigue Tester Project – The group designed and built a rotating, full reverse bending fatigue tester. Led the subgroup responsible for programing and designing the data acquisition system. The data acquisition system was able to determine the amount of rotations, the force being applied, the amount of time elapsed, and zero the load and rotation count. Utilizing Six Sigma tools, such as House of Quality, Total Life Cost Diagram, and Critical to Quality, the group was able to develop a fatigue tester.

• Sumobot - Worked on the construction and design of an autonomous robot that competed in a sumo-like competition at the 2009 National Robot Challenge. The team won the Gold Award in the Sumo contest.

• Eagle Scout Award - Earned in 2007. The Eagle Project was the installation of a swing set area at a local elementary school.

• Musical Glove – Designed, constructed, and programmed a glove that produced different tones depending on how the fingers were bent. This piece of wearable technology was presented at Imagine RIT.

• Model L – Designed, constructed, and programmed a robot that had a rudimentary learning algorithm that enabled it to “learn” how to avoid walls.

• Entrepreneurship Minor – Developed marketing plans, business plans, analyzed group dynamics, and researched patents. Founded a small tutoring and paper review business. Helped a local nonprofit develop its structure and define its goals as part of the minor’s capstone course.
