Internship Overview

For disclosure reasons, pictures and project specifications from this internship cannot be shared.

Throughout my 6-month internship, I acted as the directly responsible individual for a retail program, leading mechanical design efforts that included FEA, hand calculations, adhesive bonding, material testing, and introducing a new coating process into mass production. I drove the design of three vertical injection-molded parts, performing tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure consistent fit and assembly, while working closely with vendors on DFM and tool design for manufacturability. Additionally, I developed an interactive handbook to streamline product failure analysis by integrating imaging workflows (optical, SEM, CT), fracture analysis, and real-time design feedback, which reduced diagnostic turnaround time for the team. I also designed and executed experiments for data collection, collaborating cross-functionally with vendors to test cable builds.
