Professional Experience
2025
Dometic
Electromechanical Support Specialist
Analyzed product failures and support trends improving documentation and design, boosting customer experience by 40%. Developed a test plan for an AI diagnostic model, enabling deployment a month early, and provided high-volume technical support handling 500 calls and 840 emails monthly while diagnosing electromechanical and system-integration issues across solar energy products.
2024
Starfish Medical
Mechanical Engineer Co-op
Conducted chemical compatibility tests on PLA, Nylon 12, and PEEK, guiding material selection for medical devices. Enhanced design evaluation by integrating ocular anatomical data from 52 imaging datasets into Python tools, improving assessment accuracy by 20%. Developed and validated FEA and MATLAB models for rod-spring hinge-pin assemblies, verifying stress analyses and improving mechanical safety margins by up to fourfold.
2023
Ocean Networks Canada
Mechanical Engineer Co-op
Used FEA to extend the lifespan of a 20-ft welded beam by redesigning common failure points. Engineered hydraulic actuators and davit systems for safely deploying 760-lb marine structures, coordinated CNC machining of marine-grade parts to ±0.05 mm tolerance, and specified mooring systems designed for multi-year Antarctic submersion, ensuring durability against environmental loads, corrosion, and ice impacts.
2021
Origen Air
Mechanical Engineer Co-op
Optimized PWM-based fan speed control to improve airflow and energy efficiency in air filtration systems. Engineered a Flutter/Dart user interface for secure remote monitoring and control, led a team to create assembly manuals that cut assembly time by 45%, and built 50 PCB boards with custom wiring harnesses to support prototyping and product development.
2021
AML Oceanographic
Mechanical Engineer Co-op
Designed three high-pressure calibration systems operating at 10,000 psi and -5 to 10 °C, achieving ±0.05 °C accuracy for oceanographic sensors. Improved efficiency by reconfiguring five multi-sensor setups and reduced project costs by 15%, bringing expenses under $100K through supply chain optimizations for critical components
