Aircraft Maintenance Strategy Co-op

-Designed strategic ideas and performance plans to better support Collins Aerospace aftermarket strategy.
-Aggregated specialty flight data to better propose new process ideas and performance grading.
-Presented newly defined strategic plants to business unit leaders and provided unique information of future project outlooks.
-Depicted the relationships between current and desired customers.

Electrical Engineering Intern

-Constructed and wired electrical box mockups for the new ARGOS 3 System (Active Response Gravity Offload System), allows users to simulate different microgravity environments.
-Reviewed drawing documents for ARGOS 3 to validate the circuit was functional and designed properly.
-Oversaw SDTS testing (Six Degree of Freedom Test System) and aided in cable troubleshooting as well as curating a drawing tree for the STDS schematics.
-Researched and proposed Force Torque sensors for STAR (Six degree of freedom Tendon Actuated Robot) to simulate CubeSat propulsion systems to send satellites into LEO (Low Earth Orbit).

Engineering Intern

-Mapped the layout and reworked the design of the facility to limit the possibility of danger.
-Designed 1,300+ casting pins and other machine parts in Solidworks for internal database.
-Reworked the storage database to be more readily available to the user and any outsider source.
-Designed new diecast components to relieve stress on the manufacturer and to make the work more ergonomic and safer to use.

Multistage High-Power Rocket (Senior Design)

-Designing a redundant flight computer for a high-powered dual deploy rocket.
-Capable of having 4 pyro channels, off track abort systems, and redundant: power, sensors, processing, and ejection channels.
-Devloping live telemetry with the ability to record: Peak altitude, speed, acceleration, burn time, apogee time, ejection time, and GPS.

NASA LTV Project

-Developing a drivable lunar rover capable of transporting two astronauts with a focus on vehicle mass reduction and overall rover footprint reduction.
-Integrate motor control and joystick input for the control system using an Arduino Uno, as well as some HMI display creation with a Raspberry Pi.
-Designed the Battery Management system and data collection for the LTV, including battery percentage, speed, and other measurements which would all show nominal measurements on the HMI Display.

Robotic Arm

-Assisted in creating immobile robotic arm as a demonstration for students showing an interest in STEM.
-Designed the base and arm connections in Solidworks.
-Noticed practical issues with mobility and recreated manufacturing drawings for base and arm connections in AutoCAD for waterjet machining.

Autonomous Rover

-This rover was made as a mobile demonstration for students showing an interest in STEM.
-Programmed to move and react when students used the Human Machine Interface.
-Assisted in problem solving and design.
