• Led design validation efforts for the Catalyst 9400 Enterprise Switching platform, using environmental qualification testing (Temperature, Humidity, Altitude, Shock, Vibration, Dye and Pry) to assess mechanical integrity and functionality under shipping and storage conditions.

• Operated thermal chambers, vibration shakers, and related instrumentation such as accelerometers to execute test profiles and capture critical performance data.

• Reviewed MDVT test plans defining test strategy and test coverage, ensuring compliance with industry standards (IEC, MIL-STD, NEBS, GR-63-CORE).

• Developed Linux CLI-based automated test scripts for real-time data logging and improved failure detection.

• Collaborated cross-functionally with Hardware, Software, and Mechanical teams to debug product failures and provided mechanical inputs to drive corrective actions.

• Constructed a static test rig to evaluate air leakage in a jet engine, using mass flow rate measurements to compare sealing performance across various feather seal designs.

• Designed a rubber gasket mold to minimize excess air leakage and ensure test repeatability.

• Achieved Honeywell’s standards under a $4,000 budget and identified the most effective seal.

• Optimized user comfort by delivering a 12% weight reduction on a device tracking limb movements, to analyze human behavior in response to visual, auditory, and haptic feedback.

• Analyzed three failure scenarios using SolidWorks FEA to drive critical design reinforcements.

• Developed 2D part & multi-view drawings to document dimensions for 25+ components.

• Supported CAD engineers in developing prototypes from concept to production using plastic part design for injection-molded components.

• Applied finite element analysis to verify structural integrity of the prototypes under 200 lb. loads, and optimized the designs for a successful 3D print.

• Proposed and presented design modifications for a hoverboard product to address customer needs.
