Experience

Below is a description of all the internships I have taken part in as an engineering student.

National Research Council Canada

Designed and assembled a sensor payload designed to be integrated onto the Canadian National Research Council (NRC) Bell 412 Advanced Systems Research Aircraft which will be used to automate VTOL vehicles for the next decade
Conducted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to ensure payload passes numerous design reviews and a flight worthiness review.
Developed a LIDAR based visual system for distance sensing in different weather conditions in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team
Manufactured and assembled a custom power delivery module and a collector PCB (Printed Circuit Board) using Altium to collect and distribute power throughout the sensor payload
Manufactured custom drone parts by CNC machining carbon fiber (in a mill bath) and aluminum sheet metal.

Some fun Work Term Videos

Collaborated with Notus Electronics in creating “smart” traffic cones which detect changes in road conditions and digitally display optimum driving conditions decreasing the chances of crashing by 40%
Crafted engineering documents by preparing technical reports and presentations using MS Word for the executive board of directors and clients directly contributing to $5M deal
Implemented SVN to document all purchase orders and created a custom library to improve parts procurement by 70%.
Lead 4 Root-Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) processes with the operations and maintenance team to resolve equipment failures by recommending $1M in solutions and generating $8M in savings
Manufactured a PCB with a 62% reduction size and a 30 % higher DAC output for Wi-Fi, satellite and GPS systems using KiCAD

Created testing automation scripts using Python and Slenium to improve performance and efficiencies saving the company 8,640 hours annually ($172,800)
Implemented Schneider Electric PLC for multiple industry-related scenarios such as removing burnt potato chips and the automatic filling and capping of bottles to increase productivity and reduce costs by $700,000
