Lead Front Upright Designer

July 2025 – Current
  • Redesigning front upright geometry to integrate hub motors and a planetary gearbox, enabling compact drivetrain packaging at the front corners.
  • Utilizing Ansys FEA to validate design strength and further optimize the designs strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Preparing part drawings and tolerances to coordinate manufacturing with external suppliers.

Lead Motor & Differential Mounts Designer

September 2024 – June 2025
  • Redesigned the motor and differential mounts to accommodate the relocation of drivetrain components, while ensuring the mounts are strong enough to also serve as rear impact protection for the car.
  • Reduced the mass of the left mount by 27.7% and the right mount by 34.6%.
  • Validated design strength through SolidWorks Static Studies, ensuring optimal durability and performance.
  • Manufactured the mounts in house with a CNC Mill after using CAM through Fusion 360.

Lead Frame Designer

July 2024 – June 2025
  • Redesigned the car frame to meet updated FSAE regulations, incorporating changes to suspension geometry and the accumulator, while optimizing driver comfort and enhancing manufacturability.
  • Validated torsional rigidity using Ansys Static Structural, maintaining a similar stiffness-to-weight ratio as the previous year’s frame.
  • Collaborated with stakeholders throughout the design process to refine the frame design and ensure compatibility.
Northwestern Design, Thinking, and Communication, Evanston, Illinois

Product Design Engineer

March 2024 – June 2024
  • Collaborated with a team of four to design and create a collapsible set of steps, helping wheelchair users transition from the floor to their wheelchairs, while ensuring seamless integration into home environments and ease of storage.
  • Conducted research through client and hospital staff interviews to inform the design process.
  • Developed multiple mockups based on interview insights, refining the final design through user testing and design reviews.

Work Experience

Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers, Boston, Massachusetts

Mechanical Engineering HVAC Intern

June 2025 – August 2025
  • Redesigned HVAC systems in a 4,500 sq. ft. hospital lab wing to support the installation of high-load medical and lab equipment, ensuring ASHRAE compliance and maximizing efficiency.
  • Developed detailed mechanical and HVAC construction documents in AutoCAD and Revit for client and contractor meetings, enabling faster approvals and reducing coordination issues.
  • Conducted on-site field verification of existing HVAC layouts and as-built documentation to ensure accuracy for retrofit design, identifying discrepancies that prevented potential design conflicts.
Segal Design and Prototyping Lab, Evanston, Illinois

Shop Trainer

September 2024 – Current
  • Trained 100+ engineering students in the safe and efficient use of advanced manufacturing machinery, improving overall lab safety and competency.
  • Led group training sessions of up to 10 students and provided one-on-one coaching, tailoring instruction to individual learning needs.
  • Assisted students with design and manufacturing challenges, offering guidance to enhance project outcomes and technical understanding.
