WORK EXPERIENCE

BorgWarner, Morse Systems, Auburn Hills, MI August 2020 – Present

Co-Op Intern, Technical Engineering

Adapted to work from home era while executing weekly task items

Designed and developed a new set of test methods for validating component function

Created a matrix for optimizing coil designs which helped in further developing the next generation of the product

Communicated with suppliers on external projects and made sure deadlines were met

Analyzed competitor benchmarks, created reports, and compared benchmark results to lessons learned towards product development within BW

Supported in developing a bench test for determining proper optimization of bearing couples in the product

Jackson National Life Insurance Company, Lansing, MI October 2019 – August 2020

Strategic Support Associate

Utilized active listening skills when communicating with external customers regarding outstanding requirements or the status of an application or transaction

Worked independently and collaboratively with other Jackson associates leveraging resources to provide excellent customer service

BorgWarner Automotive, Corporate Advanced Engineering, Auburn Hills, MI January 2019 – August 2019 Co-Op Intern, Technical Engineering

Supported research and analysis for market demand, cost adjustment, energy savings and high level design for infra-red C wavelength heating systems in electric vehicles

Increased knowledge of industry leading topics such as IoT, Big Data and connectivity, automated and unmanned vehicles, thermodynamics of powertrain and heating and cooling systems through attending SAE WCX 2019 World Congress Experience

Used extensive benchmark data from an external vendor, analyzed temperature data points specific to Michigan using Concerto as a data visualization tool

Worked collaboratively with internal market research team to analyze and project market demand data and adjusted internal data based upon benchmark competitive data from an external vendor

Identified through analyses, infra-red C wavelength heating saved energy, less costly alternative in the market; however, was not the solution due to time to reach the ideal, human comfort temperature

Shifted analysis to a supplement to the infra-red C wavelength heating system using CAD and ran simulations using Ansys and MS Excel; analyzed and verified data in Concerto

In conjunction with manager, submitted a patent design to the internal patent team

Adhered to confidentiality policies throughout all phases of research, testing, design and patent submissions
