Equipment Engineering Intern at Tesla

In my role as an Equipment Engineering intern with the Sustaining Engineering team, I was tasked with designing and implementing new machinery and enhancing existing tools. A highlight of my internship involves the introduction of a new production line station from concept to execution that reduced scrap by $200k/yr and cost less than $15k to make. My work involved extensive use of SolidWorks, 3D printing, the construction of jigs from aluminum extrusions, and designing parts for machining. This hands-on experience with machinery design and project management in a fast-paced manufacturing setting sharpened my technical skills and ability to navigate complex team dynamics.
