Strong fundamental mechanical engineering/design principles, theories, and concepts

Desire to learn and consistently improve while collaborating with a motivated team of engineers EXPERIENCE

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory – Project Formulation Intern May 2019-Aug 2019

Researched applications to use Additive Manufacturing to fabricate flight components (primary and secondary structures) to benefit project & spacecraft performance, resulting in a 24-page review report

Analyzed 3D models, engineering specs, and science requirements for the production of components in subsystems, payloads, and prototypes on project proposals resulting in an estimate of mission costs

Investigated the designs of various subsystems, assemblies, and structural components on active spacecraft and spacecraft proposals. Presented cost findings/results to the mission Principal investigator Jacobs Engineering Group – Project Controls Intern May 2017-May 2019

Collaborated with multiple engineering disciplines and project management in a multidisciplinary team environment to build budgets from estimates while analyzing productivity and tracking project progress

Utilized project management skills to forecast budgets and deliverables of projects ranging from $10K-

$400M through detailed Work Breakdown Structures. Maintained a project change log when needed

Worked independently across multiple project control teams, achieving higher productivity/lower costs ENGINEERING PROJECTS/ROLES

Stand-Alone Vertical Wind Turbine Generator – Power Transmission Subsystem Lead Jan 2019- Dec 2019

Applied engineering design processes and principles while utilizing the TRIZ matrix to design/develop a novel turbine system including mechanical power transmission, electronics housing, and turbine frame

Analyzed structural stresses on the turbine frame and power transmission system using SolidWorks FEA. Used root/cause analysis to determine key issues. Fabricated components in the machine shop

Tested theoretical vs. actual power coefficients, outputs, and efficiencies in the CSULB wind tunnel Foldable Hammock Stand – Structures Engineer Nov 2018

Used SolidWorks to design a foldable hammock stand and utilized SolidWorks FEA simulation study on the CAD assembly to optimize the structure’s profile and mechanical properties 3D Printed Racing Drones, ASME CLUB CSULB – Frame Engineer Fall 2016

Independently used SolidWorks to design the frames of various prototype quadcopter drones. Additively Manufactured the drone frames with ABS plastic and attached rotors for proof-of-concept test flights Manufacturing a Block and Plug April 2017

Fabricated a block and plug in a machine shop to fit GD&T requirements. Measurements taken with micrometers, calipers, surface tables. Created a manufacturing plan and engineering drawings ENGINEERING COURSEWORK
