Give me the whole problem.
I'm a third-year mechanical engineering student, minoring in robotics and mechatronics and in AI. I do my best work when I can see the whole system and own the result. This year that's the mechanical side of UTRA ART's autonomous rover: the method, the plan, the parts and the team, redesigned from first principles on a $500 budget.
Looking for a 12–16 month PEY Co-op in robotics or controls, starting May 2027.
Skills
Skills and evidence
| Area | Skills | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Design and CAD | SOLIDWORKS (CSWP), conceptual design, structural design, design for manufacturing and assembly | Fully constrained assemblies built to survive design changes; designed the previous rover's motor mount; the ART redesign's concept stage (see the project) |
| Analysis | Load-case analysis, structural analysis, Ansys Mechanical FEA, requirements engineering | Ansys FEA on the motor mount I designed; 13 worst-case load cases and 34+ sourced requirements that size every ART part (see the project) |
| Build and test | Manual machining, mechanical assembly, hardware diagnostics, failure analysis | Building and fixing the competition rover as a team member last season; the analysis of why the 2026 rover failed (see the project) |
| Systems | Systems integration, mobile robotics, autonomous vehicles, cross-team collaboration | A platform planned in drivable stages, with signed-off interfaces to embedded and software (see the project) |
| Leadership | Team leadership, onboarding, teaching, design reviews | Leading UTRA ART's mechanical subteam: lessons, handoffs and reviewed member designs (see the project) |

About
How I work
I start from what the system has to survive, not from parts I already know. I'd rather find every way a design can fail on paper than discover it at competition, so every number I use has a source and every requirement has a test.
I also care about the people doing the work. On ART, that means turning hard requirements into checks a first-year can actually run, and teaching the physics behind them at the session where it's needed.
