Work Experience

Senior Design Engineer · Inmotive Inc.

Dec 2025 – Present
  • Led end-to-end mechanical design and architecture for 3+ electromechanical drivetrain iterations.
  • Accelerated next-gen platform development from design to Phase 1 testing in 1 year (vs. typical 18–24 months).
  • Integrated simulation-driven DFM optimization, achieving 25% mass and ~30% part count reduction while maintaining performance.
  • Built and owned CAE simulation workflows (ANSYS, Altair HyperWorks), eliminating 36 physical prototypes and avoiding $100K+ in costs.
  • Led DFMEA and DVP&R planning; partnered cross-functionally with controls, firmware, and manufacturing.
  • Managed cross-functional project deliverables, defining detailed project scopes and maintaining adherence to budget and scheduling targets.
  • Mentored 5+ engineers on DFSS and standardized design workflows.

Design Engineer · Inmotive Inc.

June 2023 – Nov 2025
  • Designed and released 50+ components using SolidWorks PDM with 10–25 micron precision, GD&T, and Tolerance Stack-Up.
  • Integrated DFM/DFA and PDM considerations to improve manufacturability and minimize tooling risks for scalable production.
  • Executed prototype builds, dynamometer testing, and precision inspection; analyzed DAQ datasets to close the loop between physical and virtual results.
  • Developed Python automation tools for Dewesoft/MoTeC datasets, cutting manual data post-processing time by ~40%.
  • Validated design performance by performing engineering calculations (force, torque, thermal analysis) and integrating motor-driven actuator and motion systems.
  • Contributed to early-stage R&D on lightweight mechanisms and simulation-driven optimization in fast-moving problem spaces.

Mechanical Engineer · National Training Institute LLC

July 2020 – Dec 2020
  • Designed and validated Oil & Gas components using CAD, FEA, CFD, and GD&T.
  • Reduced non-compliance by 10% via structured design reviews.
  • Developed comprehensive engineering drawings and specifications, ensuring compliance with GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
  • Provided design and reliability engineering support by analyzing mechanical systems and identifying opportunities for component improvement.
  • Provided project support by analyzing and interpreting multidisciplinary project documents including mechanical, electrical, and P&IDs.
