• Supported Renewable Energy Research Heliostat Project’s hardware development, prototyping, and hardware testing through iterations of their heliostat designs, from preliminary software test bed to high volume quoted hardware.
• Designed and built gearboxes under the guidance of senior engineers for heliostat hardware testing. The end results are lighter, cheaper, and easier to fabricate than original gearboxes, and they enabled the project to continue software develop between design iterations.
• Designed and built working 1/3 scaled heliostat prototypes with the help of software and electrical engineers on the team. These smaller prototypes are lighter, cheaper, and easier to implement than full scale prototypes, and they enable the project to continue coding development before the heliostat test field was ready.
• Designed and implemented new glass handling equipments and mirror fabrication procedures under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Design and create test fixtures, jigs, and other mechanisms needed to support the Renewable Energy team and Platforms Hardware Team.
• Mechanical modifications to assemblies and engineering prototypes that include milling, cutting, welding, drilling, etc.
• Coordinate the implementation of test methods and procedures, analyze results, recommend changes regarding complex problems to product development engineers.
• Expansion of 1 existing lab and buildup of 2 new labs for Renewable Energy Research under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Supported vibration, airflow, and thermal testing under the guidance of more senior hardware test engineers.
• Extensive hands on work; doing "whatever it takes".
• Supporting the Platform Group and Engineering Operations in general.
