Northeastern Electric Racing

​

CNC Machinist

I am currently the lead CNC machinist for Northeastern electric racing. I work with project leads to modify their designs for manufacturing and produce finished components. Currently, I work with milling in aluminum exclusively but am hoping to expand into milling steel and CNC lathing as our teams capability and access grows.

​

Challenges

• Working with project leads to design for manufacturing

• Learning HSMWorks Ultimate for use with a HAAS Mini Mill

• Teaching other team members and student groups how to use CNC tools

​

Mechanical Low-Voltage

This was my first project as a mechanical project lead and consisted of all mechanical aspects of all low-voltage systems on the car. This included driver IO and shutdown circuit. My team worked to fully spec, CAD, and assemble the low-voltage system in the master assembly.

​

Challenges

• Working across multiple other project teams to coordinate with their respective leads

• Working within strict size constraints

• Documenting all design decisions and part choices for future years and bill of materials

​

Impact Attenuator

The impact attenuator is a critical safety component for the car in the event of a collision. Its job is to absorb the energy of the car, like the crumple zone in a production car. My teams job was to fill out all of the required documentation and complete any remaining research before submission.  

​

Challenges

• Ensuring rule compliance and correct document filing

• Continuing a project that had been half completed

• Working across the entire team to get critical measurements for calculations

​

TSAL Mounting 

The TSAL or tractive system active light is a safety indicator for the car. I designed the mounting solution for the lights that were specified by the electrical team.

​

Challenges

• Designing for manufacturing within team capabilities
