Engineering Project Experience
Bounds Mills, Los Angeles, CA | June 2025 - Present
Design Engineer
- Developed models and drawings for 8 pepper mill models. Imlpemented design for manufacturing including draft angles, uniform wall thickness, and ribbing, reducing tooling complexity and scrap rates
- Applied GD&T (true position, flatness, concentricity) to critical mating features of mill components, enabling the factory to hold tight tolerances during machining and ensuring reliable assembly and long-term equipment performance
- Reduced tooling and mold requirements by designing common parts that worked across multiple mill models and reducing individual parts in each model, cutting overall part count and lowering production costs
Tesla, Austin, TX | January 2025 - June 2025
Engineering Program Management Co-Op
- Lead time critical Cybercab projects across the manufacturing, factory engineering, and vendors by facilitating design reviews, managing program schedule/budget, and actively working to resolve technical challenges
- Developed an engineering drawing analysis program using a combination of Python and VBA, saving the EPM team 200 hours of manual data entry and calculations per year
- Identified problem with open number of manufacturing design clashes within the factory, within one month was able to reduce design clashes by 41.8%, resulting in less time wasted during equipment installation
SAE Anteater Formula Racing, Irvine, CA | July 2023 - Present
Powertrain Design Engineer
- Developed a lightweight intake plenum that maximized peak RPM performance by iterative CFD in Ansys Fluent and implementing a composite 3D printing process
- Utilized SolidWorks CAD modeling and Ansys Fluent simulation to enhance the fuel system’s performance, reducing slosh by 31% and weight by 12%
- Performed cost-benefit analysis on fuel tank aluminum alloy choice, along with producing in-house or outsourcing to ensure the best performance with the lowest manufacturing cost. Completed in-house machining for fuel tank
US Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles, CA | June 2024 - August 2024
Design Engineering Intern
- Contributed to the $44 million Murrieta Creek channel design by gathering and processing cross-departmental data used to create structural models in AutoCAD.
- Led the BCOES design review process by creating and presenting charts addressing over 124 critical concerns, ensuring key issues were resolved during design review.
- Excelled in Army leadership and risk management courses, demonstrating strong decision-making skills; passed government personal security investigation.
