• Optimized seat angle through experimental testing and structural evaluation, achieving a 20% chassis weight reduction while

preserving stiffness and regulatory compliance.

• Strengthened chassis performance using the FEA methods of shells and solid element analysis to increase the factor of safety

by 25% and reduce von mises stress by about 200 MPa.

• Optimized battery pack placement using hand calculations and SolidWorks simulation to improve CG location and mass

distribution, reducing overall vehicle weight and improving turning radius.

• Repaired damaged suspension arms by grinding out failed weld regions and re-fabricating joints using MIG welding, restoring

structural integrity and returning components to competition-ready condition.

• Designed and manufactured 20+ CNC-cut components for a redesigned welding fixture, applying Design for Manufacturing

(DFM) principles to improve chassis alignment accuracy and weld consistency.

• Produced 2D manufacturing drawings and performed tolerance stack-up analysis on CNC-cut fixture components, ensuring

dimensional accuracy across mating interfaces and reducing assembly errors.

• Fabricated 5+ electrical housings and steel tubing components via 3D printing, mill, and lathe, maintaining tolerance control

and accurate fitments.
