Led the structural design of crashworthy, ceiling-stowable seating system developed for a Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) program to provide maximum cabin versatility without compromising occupant safety. The design utilizes energy-attenuating systems to meet rigorous MIL-S-85510 crashworthiness standards while ensuring full compliance with MIL-STD-810 environmental requirements. The project involved structural integration, high-G load path analysis, and engineering for extreme weight sensitive mechanical demands of aerospace environments.
Skills: SolidWorks, Ansys, FEA, Loads Analysis, Vibration analysis, Machined Metal, Mechanism Design, DFX
Led the design of modular energy storage enclosure to streamline deployment of large-scale battery systems through a "cube-to-cube" interconnection architecture. The design integrates auxiliary systems directly into the unit and features a single-point interconnection via a marshalling box to simplify site electrical hookups. This project incorporated electromechanical packaging, structural design for heavy-payload transport, and the transition from conceptual CAD modeling to full-scale hardware manufacturing/production in a tight timeline.
Skills: SolidWorks, Sheet Metal Design, UL Compliance, Electro-Mechanical Design, Cable/Harness Design/routing, DFX
Designed swappable battery enclosure systems for Ample vehicle integration program to enable rapid battery swapping through automated hardware. Key technical challenges addressed include the development of robust mechanical interfaces capable of repeated connection cycles and the structural management of high-density energy storage within a compact vehicle footprint. This project incorporated electromechanical packaging, structural/vibration design for heavy-payload transport, and design-to-test workflow required for EV Battery technologies.
Skills: SolidWorks, Sheet Metal, Injection Molded Plastic, Electro-Mechanical Design, Cable/Harness Design/routing, DFX
