EXPERIENCE

Junior Manufacturing Engineer –Turbine Airfoils Oct 2024 - Mar 2025 Pioneer Precision Parts LLC, Commerce, CA

●Engineer and manage the processes that machine turbine components–Plan production of CNC machined components and assemblies and worked closely with cross-functional team members including Quality Control, Production Control and Maintenance personnel, Machine Operators, and Management

●Ran production parts to meet customer needs, following Pioneer’s production method including documentation, quality control & inspection and machine maintenance

●Operated 5-axis CNC Machines including Grinding machines, EDMs, and inspection equipment identifying non-conforming material and participated in root-cause analysis to implement corrective actions Undergraduate Research Assistant – High Temperature Battery Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 California State University Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

●Part of an ongoing research team, studying the effectiveness of AAA nickel-cadmium batteries at extreme conditions to assess battery capacity and efficiency applicably by comparing charge/discharge efficiency

●Conducted 20+ battery cycling tests measuring the upper and lower voltage limits as well as cycle time at room temperature and in a heating chamber, modifying the charge rate of batteries

●Testing of nickel-cadmium batteries resulted in a shorter discharge time than charge time between 40 60 and charge rates above 10 C-rate, indicating low coulombic efficiency at these conditions PROJECTS

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Fall 2023-Spring 2024

California State University Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

●Developed an aerial vehicle with both man piloted and autonomous navigation capabilities

●Tasked with camera gimbal CAD design, failure risk analysis of camera gimbal using FEA simulation, and rapid prototyping using FDM 3D Printing

●Developed 15+ different 3D design assembly iterations of camera gimbal using SolidWorks

●Resulted in camera gimbal design, production, and assembly meeting all specs with the ability to adjust pitch angle

●Supported all stages of product development including conceptual design for frame and package delivery systems ensuring that designs were both functional and reliable

Miniature Gearbox

California State University Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

●Developed a miniature gearbox capable of moving a 1kg mass 50cm up an inclined ramp

●Tasked with performing engineering analysis needed to define stall torque, motor no-load speed, gear ratio, and factor of safety

●Used SolidWorks to create CAD design needed for gearbox retaining walls, wall spacers, and shaft
