Assisted in developing new product line by creating a prototype mount, building parts of the conveyor system, and running time studies during testing.
Obtained valuable experience in the manufacturing field by communicating complex engineering findings to factory business managers and exercising safety with proper machine shop protection habits.
Mechanical Engineer Intern, 5/2015 to 8/2015
Sierra Nevada Corporation, Beavercreek, OH.
Assisted in generating 3D models for aerospace components from CAD drawings while following GD&T guidelines.
Models were complex assemblies built from several parts and cable wires, complemented with a transportation case.
Worked within an engineering team built up of mechanical, electrical, systems and software engineers to create these aerospace components.
Student Research Assistant, 8/2012 to 6/2013
University of Dayton Research Institute, Dayton, OH.
Prepared test specimens and conducted qualification testing of tensile strength, elongation and hardness on dog bone and O-ring samples.
Performed accelerated weathering testing with exposure to extreme conditions (-65 F to 1000 F) alongside chemical engineers and full-time lab technicians.
Stocked and maintained cleanliness while working directly in a sealants and elastomers materials lab.
