• Drove enclosure design and integration of antenna components (Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, FM) in next-gen Tesla vehicle; designed parts and master assemblies in CAD, performing tolerance analysis and finite element analysis (FEA)

• Designed test experiments and conducted failure analysis to validate antenna performance after car crash

• Created 2D GD&T drawings for production inspection to ensure large-scale manufacturability and led design for manufacturing (DFM) reviews with injection molding and sheet metal suppliers

• Interfaced with vehicle integration, antenna, thermal, and electrical teams to integrate diverse technical requirements and maintain end-to-end product performance

• Led development of integrating first-ever additive manufactured parts (metal 3D printing & injection molding) into iPhone Air housing through prototype testing, statistical tolerance analysis, and parameter optimization - enabling reductions in cycle time (-33s), material waste (-6%), and cost (-$0.65) per part

• Designed test experiments and conducted failure analysis for laser welding, electrochemical etching, water ingress paths, part porosity, and material characteristics to ensure cohesive system integration

• Communicated daily with international vendors and 5+ internal teams, driving process optimization trials and refining inspection procedures to improve part dimensional quality

• Designing an autonomous, solar-powered, GPS waypoint navigation rover to test on Tahoe snow with the Polar Rover team

• Designed parachute launch and recovery system with Rockets Team

• Working with ArduPilot Rover software and Mission Planner as well as Raspberry Pi for visual processing

• Developing mechanical engineering skills such as CAD and design to create electronics housings, as well as electrical engineering skills such as soldering, installing motors and switches

• Designed 2 fixtures for IC packaging in Siemens NX, created and tested 3 prototypes, and facilitated fixture manufacturing and integration into production line

• Developed and executed 10 week external solder paste print experiment, interfaced with suppliers to build units used downstream while identifying optimal mechanical parameters to improve print transfer efficiency by 31%

• Wrote solder paste inspection data processing script in Python, adding interaction plots, heat maps, and data summaries, enabling troubleshooting of paste printing process
