Work History
Engineering Technician IV
Tesla, Inc.
06.2022 - 04.2024
- Provided hands-on support to process, quality, and controls engineers in the 4680 cell manufacturing factory, leveraging Six Sigma methodology to drive process improvements that significantly enhanced productivity and efficiency on the Cell Formation (CF) manufacturing line
- Designed and executed various cell validation tests and recipe steps to support engineering process and quality investigations
- Utilized SQL and Python to extract and manipulate large datasets, enabling root cause analysis of inconsistencies in cell quality
- Expertly operated and troubleshooted FANUC robots and other high-level precision equipment integral to the CF process
- Designed an alignment jig for a complex measurement tool using SolidWorks and worked with machinists to oversee the design's manufacture via CNC Mill all the way to physical testing and installation
- Led a comprehensive process improvement project that investigated temperature discrepancies in High-Temperature Aging and voltage decay in cells
- Implemented process changes resulting from this study, which led to the redesign of a critical CF process step, resulting in substantial savings of thousands of dollars in production yield losses
- Worked with EMTs to assemble and install electromechanical test fixtures for cells
- Verified voltage specifications were within specification using voltmeter
- Collaborated with facilities engineers to update manufacturing facility schematics in SCADA control system architecture
- Awarded merit based promotion from Tech III to Tech IV in November 2023.
Product Design Engineer Intern
TakeOut Now, Inc.
06.2021 - 12.2021
- Pioneered the design of the first-stage prototype for an autonomous food-assembling robot, employing SolidWorks to create intricate and precise models
- Presented CAD models and schematics before investors and successfully secured partnership.

Projects
Intel Core i5 Heat Sink Design, NYU Tandon Coursework, Brooklyn, NY, 09/2021, 12/2021, Utilized heat transfer theory to design a multi-fin heat sink cooling system for an Intel Core i5 computer chip. Used SolidWorks to create 3D model of heat sink system and tested validity of design by performing thermodynamic CFD simulations in ANSYS. Successfully 3D printed heat sink system using an Ultimaker 3 3D printer. Tesla Cybertruck Wind Tunnel CFD Analysis, NYU Tandon Coursework, Brooklyn, NY, 09/2021, 12/2021, Utilized Solidworks to design and assemble all major components of both an open circuit and closed circuit wind tunnel. Successfully performed aerodynamic simulations of a CAD model Cybertruck in both wind tunnel designs within SolidWorks CFD. Successfully obtained compared true value of drag force across both sets of results
