• Mechanical design, verification, and testing of structural and dynamic systems for a robotic AUV competing in RoboSub.

• Created detailed CAD models for assembly and integrated a pneumatic system to actuate a robotic arm and torpedo launcher for competition. Designed components for manufacturability using waterjet plates and welded assemblies.

• Led adhesion testing under high-shock conditions to evaluate bond integrity and optimize surface prep methods for accelerometer assemblies.

• Designed custom fixtures and test procedures using an Instron 9250 HZ drop tower; analyzed sensor data to enhance adhesive strength and reduce failure variability.

• Developed a vibration shaker system (K2007E01) to simulate cable wear in flight vehicle assemblies, identifying failure modes and recommending durability improvements.

• Collaborated with vendors on detailed drawings, tooling procurement, and assembly processes to meet stringent performance standards.

• Performed thermal and fluid analysis on powertrain components to improve design performance

• Created MATLAB script to simulate radiator heat transfer, performing pressure and temperature calculations to determine optimal surface area. Enhanced cooling system design by streamlining thermal analysis across multiple configurations.
