Experienced space engineer with a passion for innovation and problem-solving.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated space engineer with a strong background in mechanical engineering. I recently completed my Masters of Engineering in Space Engineering at the University of Michigan, where I gained valuable experience in designing and developing power systems for CubeSats. During my time at the university, I led a team in developing the power system for the Michigan CubeSat 10, integrating solar cells, batteries, and power regulators. I also conducted data analysis on drone flight test data, evaluating flight capabilities by analyzing GPS and camera data using Python.
In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained practical experience through various projects and internships. I served as the EPS Lead Engineer for the StratoSat High Altitude Balloon project, where I led the design and development of the electrical power system for a 3U-CubeSat. I also worked as a Systems Engineer for the NASA XHAB - BLiSS SMAT project, where I developed mission solutions incorporating accelerometer technology in an ergonomic suit to study space sickness.
During my work experience, I have demonstrated strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams. I am proficient in languages such as Python, Matlab, and C, and have experience with software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Simulink. I am also skilled in project management, data analysis, and time management.
