Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) – Panther Motorsports
FIU
Chief Engineer
May 2021 – current
- Managed 8 technical sub-teams to design, manufacture, test, and implement new components.
- Kept project on schedule by using a Gantt chart, organizing weekly meetings, following up with team leads, etc. § Mentored new leaders to be the future management of the club.
- Assisted President in creating a 3-year plan to increase team performance at the SAE competition.
Powertrain Manager
Feb 2020 – current
- Led the implementation of a new two-cylinder engine, requiring redesign and validation of motor mounts, exhaust, intake, cooling, and electrical systems.
- Optimized motor performance through tuning standalone electronic control unit via data logging software.
- Designed an exhaust system that maximizes flow for power and is within design parameters to make use of exhaust scavenging.
- Applied Solidworks and Ansys to simulate gas flow in the exhaust and validate motor mount design.
- Modeled and assembled components, such as the engine, motor mounts, exhaust, intake, and radiator, enabling the team to work on other projects with confidence in the design tolerances.
