Vehicle Concept

Originally hired as a design researcher to gather research and create personas for the market segment, responsibilities quickly expanded. As Lead Design Engineer, I created development schedules across chassis, powertrain, suspension, battery, and styling systems.

I personally designed 95% of the carbon fiber monocoque chassis using Solidworks, managed a ~2,000 part vehicle assembly, and released chassis tooling CAD with parts delivered on schedule 6 months later.

Specs

Quality & Process

Implemented industry-standard practices including SAE standards, NHTSA regulations, dFMEA documentation, and ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards. Proper documentation and GD&T is the tooth brushing of engineering: it may not be enjoyable now, but it pays off over time.

User Centered Design Research

Led qualitative and quantitative research to determine specifications and market fit, executing through an iterative design methodology.

Carbon Fiber Chassis

Executives prioritized carbon fiber construction. I created 95% of the CAD and managed manufacturing relationships, delivering tooling on a 6-month timeline.
