Mechanical Engineering – Powertrain Development, Engineer June 2018—Present Mechanical Engineering – Powertrain Intern January 2018 – May 2018

• Assist in the development of electric motor and transmission systems, subsystems and components, from prototype to production.

o Redesigned rotor for mechanical improvements and worked with the electromagnetics team to improve rotor torque while maintaining ideal RPMs for fatigue life, burst speed, permanent deformation. o Designed Oil Module System for Front Drive Unit from design to production.

• CAD modeling, and detail drafting. Structured reverse engineering, powertrain benchmark. FEA/MBS analysis. Work with 3D scanning and 3D print

• Work with the test engineering team on electric motors, transmissions and full drivetrain testing including performance, thermal, vibration and durability.

• Complete time studies, cost analyses, project reports to support the implementation of inspection systems. Test, research and validate existing and new products, as well as help in the ideation process of various new products. Develop testing procedures to ensure that products could be quantitatively compared to competitors’ product. Motorcycle Restoration Projects Summer 2014 – Summer 2018

• Restored salvaged motorcycles in college to learn mechanics and engineering concepts through hands on restoration and understanding.

• Applied coursework knowledge to understand and innovate solutions to the following problems: Impact on tree-clamp and suspension forks, ECU error codes, stator’s energy regeneration, rectifier’s AC to DC conversion, and calibration of engine’s fuel-air intake ratio and back pressure through a power commander to maximize power efficiently and prevent engine’s unexpected cut-offs.

(Personal Project) September 2017 – Present

• Seeking a personal, challenging project that would include my interests while exposing me to new skills and preparing me for my future career, I went to a local junkyard and bought a transmission (AISIN AW Co., LTD Model No. 30-40LE RWD) that I spent time around my school schedule to dismantle, measure, and reverse engineer using SolidWorks, then analyzed through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). ACTIVITIES & ASSOCIATIONS
