I am an aerospace engineering student at UC Irvine, currently lead launch vehicle engineer at UCI Rocket Project Solids, a student-led design project that develops and launches solid rocket motors.
In this role, I apply my manufacturing skills to cut, sand, carbon fiber layup, and fiberglass as well as help with the manufacturing of the motor mount using injection bonding. I also collaborate with other engineers to conduct static fire tests, analyze data, and troubleshoot issues.
Previously, I worked as an infotainment engineer at Lordstown Motors Corporation, where I tested and validated software components for electric vehicles. I learned to communicate problems and challenges with co-workers efficiently, and to deploy firmware updates over-the-air. I also acquired skills in soldering, wire cutting, and crimping techniques to fabricate harnesses for electrical connections, and in AutoCAD Fusion 360 to create 2D drawings of test bench emulators.
Now I currently am an Co-Op manufacturing intern at PCC Rollmet. A division of Precision Castparts Corporation that specializes in cold rolling cylindrical tubes for commercial, aerospace, and defense use. In this position I am utilizing the material I have learned at UCI and applying it to real world problems using my experience in SolidWorks, material science, and manufacturing.
