Experience

Engage Engineering Mechanical Engineer

May - Aug 2022 Carlsbad, CA

JVC Contract - Designed a support mechanism to

stabilize the lens of a projector in a flight simulator

Collaborated closely with JVC team members to

determine project specifications and parameters

Utilized SolidWorks to model and perform stress

analysis on a support system, which guaranteed

stability in the lens with precision up to 0.1 mm

Partnered with local machinist to make

manufacturing process improvements which

reduced the production time by 25% and improved

product quality

Performed quality assurance by retrofitting the

functional prototype onto a full-scale 25 lb lens

Provided direct customer support via email and

PowerPoint to effectively convey the solution

Completed the design, testing, and assembly within a 5-week timeframe, where the product effectively

mitigated movement and vibrations in the lens

Space Micro - Designed a fastening system to

accurately calibrate the camera lens for a satellite

Partnered with lab technicians to grasp objectives and swiftly initiate project planning & brainstorming

Rapid Prototyped an assembly in SolidWorks which enabled precise lens adjustments down to 0.001 in

Constructed the design by sourcing Thorlabs parts combined with specialized 3D printed parts

Successfully delivered the final product within a tight 2-week timeline & presented it to customer

General Tasks included hands-on assembly

work, data collection, Excel analysis, product

design, 3D printing, and technical documentation

Automatic Golf Club Design Lead

Nov 2022 - Dec 2023 Cal Poly Pomona

Prototyped swingless club over a 1 year timeline for senior research and development project

Implemented innovative designs and utilized

pressure vessels for force transmission

Conducted stress analysis using FEA & hand

calculations to mitigate potential failure modes

due to 2000 PSI forces

Drafted detailed technical drawings in SolidWorks with GD&T and had parts CNC machined

Presented the project to a large audience,

effectively communicating technical knowledge

Completed comprehensive written report

covering research, calculations, and design

Sandbag Filler Design Lead

Aug - Dec 2023 Cal Poly Pomona

Developed a completely novel machine,

designed to autonomously fill sandbags while

remaining portable for unpredictable storms

3D printed intricate geometries tailored for

specialized tasks, paired with servo motors

Effectively resolved interface issues through 2

team meetings using root cause analysis

Successfully fabricated a physical prototype
