Manufacturing Engineer

SpaceX, Los Angeles

I am a manufacturing engineer at SpaceX, supporting high-rate aerospace production. I address build non-conformances, design tooling, and create work instructions for the Falcon vehicle's primary and secondary structures.

Tesla, Manufacturing Engineering Intern

Body in White, Fremont, CA | May - Aug. 2023

In the summer of 2023 I interned as a manufacturing engineer at the Tesla Fremont Factory. I learned how to analyze manufacturing lines, optimizing processes and equipment for cycle time. I also practiced project management and handled communicating feedback to vendors on line layouts. I practiced design for manufacturing and assessed tooling impacts as well as engaged in root cause analysis for manufacturing issues.

Case Aeronautics Team

Team Member, Airframe Design Lead | since Sep. 2020

As a member of the Case Aeronautics Team (CAT), I participated in the annual AIAA Design Build Fly (DBF) RC plane competition, where teams from across the world design and compete their aircraft. As the airframe design lead, I focused my efforts on the fuselage design and subsystem integration components. As a part of the competition we also deliver a comprehensive design report on our aircraft and team structure.

NASA L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy

Team 25 - Lead System Engineer

In the MCA Summer 2022 session I acted as the Lead System Engineer for team 25's mission concept. I worked with a team of engineers to design the power, thermal, navigational, and communication subsystems of a rover designed to search Martian caves for signs of life. Please reach out if you would like to read a copy of our team's preliminary design report!
