EMPLOYMENT

Form Energy

Mechanical Design Engineer II August 2022 – August2024

● Owned structural subsystem of 3000kg battery module, as well as various components in the battery cell and BoP.

● Designed and built custom test beds, wrote DOEs, and analyzed results to inform design decisions.

● Responsible for taking all components (15+) within the structural subsystem from ideation to mass production.

● Utilized Solidworks FEA to ensure performance of components while optimizing for cost and weight savings.

● Designed HV PCBA enclosure that achieved a weatherproof rating of IP54.

● Designed fluid system that enables Form’s BoP to connect to the grid.

● Utilized quickturn vendors to rapidly fabricate prototypes that represent product-intent designs.

● Lead communication with both quickturn and long term vendors, both domestic and international.

● Collaborated with the Manufacturing Team to create process flows and manufacturing jigs for owned parts on the line.

● Collaborated with the Testing Team to create and complete design validation test plans.

● Traveled to the factory to aid in line bring up–ensured manufacturing partners understand design intent and taught operators how to complete necessary tasks.

Kawasaki Robotic Industries

Mechanical Engineer July 2021 – August 2022

● Designed test procedures for new features and components in order to fully encapsulate and quantify performance.

● Designed, fabricated, and constructs test jigs for new robot features using Siemens NX.

● Worked on the Prototyping team to design and fabricate robot prototypes.

● Carried robots through their lifecycle to study reliability and expose failure points before they are experienced by the customer.

● Frequently troubleshooted electromechanical systems via testing apparatuses for failure analyses of robots.

● Lead team for reliability testing of aqueous ceiling-mounted robot product line.

● Frequently used Python for data analysis and design of new engineering tools. Amped I LLC

Intern May 2018 – Sept 2018

● Constructed over 20 wiring and voltage diagrams for substation projects around the city of Chicago.

● Went on walk-downs to install relays and breakers in 6 different substations.

● Analyzed powergrid maps to determine optimum locations for relay installations in and around Chicago. Password for Portfolio: PeterPortfolio
