Experience

1. Manufacturing Engineer Intern

   Fluor Corporation

   Jan 2025 — Present

   Designed and updated 3D CAD models and technical drawings for mechanical components using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, ensuring a tight tolerance of ±0.01 mm, which helped reduce rework by 22% during the prototyping phase across three testing cycles. • Conducted thermal and airflow simulations for electronic enclosures using Ansys Icepak and ANSYS Fluent, successfully identifying hotspots and optimizing vent placements, which led to a 17% drop in internal temperature during high-load operations. • Collaborated with the EV engineering team on battery pack integration and BLDC hub motor mounting for hybrid vehicle retrofitting projects, completing prototype installation across multiple chassis configurations in less than 3 weeks, d mechanical compatibility. • Produced rapid-turnaround prototype parts using FDM 3D printing with Flashforge and Ultimaker Cura, enabling same-day design validation and reducing overall prototype development time by 40% while maintaining functional accuracy. • Coordinated and monitored machining processes including lathe, vertical lathe, drilling, slotting, and shaping, improving part production throughput by 12%. Also documented part specs, machine settings, and quality checks using PowerPoint for internal reporting and audits.
