Work Experience
Joby Aviation ― Staff Mechanical Engineer July 2019 – Present
At Joby, I architected balance of plant and hydrogen powertrain integration for world’s first hydrogen-electric VTOL aircraft. I have lead mechanical design of a custom turbocompressor that has a 6.5:1 compression ratio and spins at 200,000 RPM. I also designed, tested, and flew a custom coolant powered liquid hydrogen vaporizer made from 3D printed aluminum. I continue to architecture custom fuel cell system integrations for future aircraft concepts.
Previously to joining the hydrogen power team, I designed cutting edge aerospace batteries, thermal management systems, and battery monitoring systems for the first of its kind S4 eVTOL aircraft. In doing so, I architected a state of the art cooling system for eVTOL vehicles. In total, I've designed over 60 flight parts and assemblies for the S4 battery system. I also architected systems for battery install equipment, battery coolant fill equipment, leak testing equipment. I have collaborated with Toyota to build out $3M automated production line for advanced heat exchangers.
Plenty ― Mechanical Engineering Intern Summer 2018
At Plenty, I planned and designed automated production line cells from scratch. Additionally, I specced and programmed industrial 6 DOF Fanuc robots (R-2000iC/270F). I worked cross-functionally with Safety Compliance, Controls, and System Engineering to define end of arm tooling design. I then designed, manufactured, and integrated five-meter-long end of arm tooling for industrial robots. I also managed integrators to design and develop custom conveyance mechanisms ($1.1M contract).
Tesla ― Battery Engineering Intern Summer 2017
At Tesla, I had a hand in designing 8 different parts for the Model 3 Battery pack in CATIA. Additionally, I designed components to aid the Model 3 battery automation line. I collaborated with suppliers from around the world to bring the parts to production and prototyped various designs.
Tesla ― Powertrain Quality Engineering Intern Summer 2016
At Tesla, I executed experiments to stress test various drivetrain components, designed, built, and programmed coolant flow control systems, developed applications and databases to track thermal testing, and automated data analyses of dynamometer performance.
Center for Design Research, Stanford Univerity ― Autonomous Vehicle Interface Researcher Summer 2015
As a researcher under Prof. Larry Leifer and Dr. Wendy Ju, I completed research sponsered by Google and Renault, validated FACET facial tracking/emotion capture software, and developed a driving style iPhone app to track and compare driving styles.
Ram's Head Theatrical Society ― Board Member, Technical Director, Lighting Designer, Automation Designer 2014 - 2018
Ram's Head puts on 3-4 professional caliber shows each year to audiences of 10,000 people each season. As a board member, I ensured the organization ran smoothly and solved problems when needed. When working as a technical director, I oversaw the design and building of the set and technical elements like automation.
LITES ― Vice President, Project Lead 2014 - 2018
LITES is short for Lighting Innovation and Technology Education at Stanford, a student group that integrates technology into theater to create spectacles. I helped manage tens of thousands of dollars to create projects like the friction drive automation, smart spot, and video wall.
