New Age Metal Fabrication
This past summer, I was an Engineering Intern at New Age Metal Fabrication in Fairfield, NJ. There, I made extensive use of SolidWorks to create 100+ of engineering drawings built for aerospace and defense customers. In order to do this, I needed to migrate models from Creo (our old CAD software) into Solidworks, including complex features such as helicoils and tapped holes. I also applied principles of sheet metal fabrication to calculate accurate bend deductions.
In addition to my engineering work, I was also tasked with conducting time studies to improve our job quoting accuracy. Basically, we wanted to make sure that the time we estimated tasks would take lined up with actual production time. Some of the discrepancies I resolved were as large as 24 hours. I also performed point-to-point checks and initiated Engineering Change Notices (ECN) to coordinate revisions across 6 departments (including Quoting, Inspection, Manufacturing, etc).
Furthermore, I also communicated with external suppliers to obtain competitive quotes for raw materials.
In addition to my professional work experience, I am also a part of several student engineering teams at Rutgers. Here are some of my accomplishments:
CAD
At (AIAA) Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I used Solidworks to CAD 6+ components for a multi-stage rocket. I also created the final assembly using my own parts, pieces that other team members/departments designed, and CAD files provided by the manufacturer for select pre-fabricated parts.
Simulations
At (AIAA) Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I used ANSYS to conduct flow simulations for various aerodynamic body designs. These results were used to determine the optimal shape for the interstage of our rocket. (An interstage, in our case, was necessary to connect two body tubes of different diameters)
At Rutgers Solar Car, I utilized SolidWorks's flow simulation features to conceptualize a heated spray paint booth for our composites department. The simulations informed where vents and circulation fans could be placed to encourage efficient evacuation of aerosols.
Manufacturing
At Rutgers Solar Car, I fabricated 2 enclosure panels for the electrical engineering department using a CNC router and vCarve toolpathing software. To accomplish this, I obtained my Rutgers Woodshop certification.
At (AIAA) Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I remedied non-conforming fiberglass body tubes to meet strict flatness tolerances. This ensured that all of the tubes would fit together when it came time to assemble the rocket.
In addition, I am also trained on how to safely operate a manual mill.
