Designed and built a mechanism to place fiducial stickers on fulfillment center floors for autonomous ground robot localization decreasing installation time from 3 minutes to 30 seconds and reducing strain on technicians
Field-tested the tool at two fulfillment centers, iterating mechanism and install procedures across different workstation types based on technician feedback
Apple
Audio PD Intern
Owned and released production engineering drawings and GD&T/tolerance stackups of multiple components and subassemblies for the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2
Resolved high-friction assembly issue during button insertion on AirPods Pro 2 case by prototyping and evaluating multiple O-ring dimensions and durometers, lowering button insertion force during assembly and improving manufacturability
Defined water ingress and button-push cycling DVT reliability test procedures with international contract manufacturers to validate O-ring candidates and select the best design for production
Developed iPhone-based computer vision workflow in Python to capture the pose of earbuds via laser-etched fiducial markers on bud stems to relate in-ear fit to performance metrics and inform design changes to improve fit across diverse ear shapes in future products

Interior Feasibility Intern
Analyzed cross sections of the Jeep Grand Cherokee soft trim CAD in NX and identified 11 interferences, preventing over $330k in potential manufacturing costs
Drove resolution of fit issues in Jeep Grand Cherokee rear carpet design by coordinating 3D-printed and VR mockups and hosting management reviews, accelerating approval of a design change
Designed, built, and wired a 3-axis mechatronic gantry that scanned a light sensor array to map spatial light intensity of vehicle interior LEDs, as a proof of concept for a standardized LED test
