Battery Manufacturing Engineer (Co-op)
Worked as part of the Battery Manufacturing Process Development Team with focus on the Model Y Structural Battery, implementing and validating design for manufacturing, process optimization, and battery joining methods Operated, programmed, and maintained 6-axis (Fanuc) robots for manufacturing and product development, employing strict safety protocol and engineering practices. Designed and assembled test jigs and development tools to support battery manufacturing and design. Acted as a primary point of contact for battery teardown R&D, implementing and supporting smart data collection methodology, coordinating/delegating work, and collating technical data.
Fremont, CA | tesla.comGeneral Fusion Inc.
May 2021 - Sep. 2021
Mechanical Engineer (Co-op)
Worked on testing and optimizing the team’s primary compression test bed: the Cylindrical Water Compressor (CWC). The CWC simulates shaped collapses for plasma compression in a nuclear fusion reactor using pneumatics. CWC-related tasks included pneumatic design/assembly, 3D modelling, Python scripting for pressure analysis, automation in LabVIEW, 3D printing (SLA), diagnostic equipment calibration, development, and assembly. Underwent thorough design of a custom calibration device to mitigate error in image-recognition algorithms. Conducted design reviews of 3D models, machined custom parts, and assembled the apparatus. Operated a high-pressure vessel with high-powered, red/infrared, collimated lasers from an integrated control panel. Created various test jigs for simulation of certain events/behaviors related to optics and pneumatics.

Jan. 2019 - May 2019
Systems Manufacturing Engineer (Co-op)
This position offered the opportunity to work with integrated systems. I built and modelled a thermocycling test jig to simulate stress/strain on a lithium-ion battery module due to thermal expansion differentials. I developed python scripts to evaluate resistance data from a DAQ in MATLAB. I operated machining tools to complete various tasks (lathe, mill, drill press, etc.). I used Solidworks CAD to model and design battery modules with FEA to address stress cracks on laser-welds. I used LabView and MATLAB to create a standardized vibration-testing method for electrical components experiencing shipboard vibrations.
