Project Type
Professional Experience
Date
Sept 2022 - Dec 2022
Location
La CaƱada Flintridge
Technical Skills
CAD (Siemens NX): For designing robotic components, end effectors, and testbed systems
Finite Element Analysis: For assessing structural integrity under testing of end effector designs
Actuator Systems: For assembling actuators for the development of new robotic arm testbeds
Python & Linux: For scripting data collection and inventory automation
"Soft" Skills
Cross-Communication: Effectively coordinated with and explained the results of robotic arm testing to teams of electrical, mechanical, and software engineers
Initiative: Took initiative during robotic testing downtime by volunteering for additional tasks outside of the direct scope of work, contributing to overall team progress

During my co-op at NASA JPL, I was responsible for supporting the design, development, and testing of robotic arm systems for the Mars Sample Return mission. You can see what portion of the mission the team I worked was focused on by clicking on the video linked to "MSR" on the left.
My contributions focused on building key components for 6 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) robotic arm testbeds and enhancing system performance through design and testing iterations. I collaborated with cross-functional teams, focusing on integrating sensors, improving end effector functionality, and evaluating robotic arm performance under real-world conditions.
