Mechanical Engineering Co-op

Greensight

During my time at Greensight I quickly took ownership of the mechanical side of the project I worked on, WeatherHive. I was fully responsible for designing and building 6 'Hives' in a 3 month timeframe - a drone silo capable of storing, charging, launching, and loading 10 weather drones, all autonomously.

Mechanical Engineering Co-op

Orbis

At Orbis I worked as one of two full time mechanical engineers at the company, so I was given lots of responsibility from the start. I designed novel in-wheel electric motor/gearbox assemblies under tight deadlines.

Mechanical Automation Engineering Co-op

Instron

My first co-op was at Instron's automation department. I focused on developing mockup systems for customer quotes, designing custom solutions to add to existing systems, and managing dozens of customer orders.

WeatherHive

Drone silo – the “Hive” – capable of storing, deploying, retrieving, and charging a swarm of 10 small weather drones.

• Redesigned the Hive from the ground up with reliability, manufacturability, assembly, and an IP55 rating in mind.
• Developed passive drone retrieval system – only one stepper required for landing, loading, and launching.
• Leveraged use of sheet metal and 3D printed parts to prototype quickly and scale production.
• Conducted fatigue testing on custom drone charging contacts.
• Developed a waterproof electronics box with external active cooling.

Integrated Gearbox, Motor, and Upright Assembly

• Retrofitted existing assemblies to fit on McLaren chassis with planetary gearsets from automatic transmissions.
• Updated assembly’s design – NVH results approved by a major auto OEM from Wolfsburg in an in-person visit.
• Engineered complete redesign of assembly to accept next generation motors, gearsets and integrate McLaren upright.
• Specced bearings, gearset, seals, to ensure gearbox longevity, desired NVH, and minimize stack height.
