I am currently in the process of creating detailed Portfolio entries for projects I worked on at this co-op. For now, please refer to the Co-op Summary Slide Deck here.

My third co-op was with the dental robotics team at Perceptive Technologies in Boston, MA. The team was working on the development of a robotic system that could autonomously perform restorative dental procedures, such as crown preparation.

As a Mechanical Engineering Co-op at Perceptive, I have developed proficiency in:

• Mechanical Design & Prototyping

  • SolidWorks

  • Custom Test Fixtures

  • Hands-on Machine Shop Experience

  • SLA 3D-printing

  • Mechanical System Assembly and Disassembly

• Robotics Systems

  • 6-DOF Robotic Arm Exposure

  • Robotic Joint and End Effector Components

• Testing

  • Validation of Cyclic Loading on Flex Cables

  • Test Procedure and Setup Development

• Process Improvement

  • Design-for-Usability Improvements to Test Stations

  • Custom Lab Enhancements

• Cross-functional Skills

  • Problem Solving

  • Technical Documentation and Presentations

  • Collaboration with Multidisciplinary Team

  • Balancing Multiple Project Responsibilities

My second co-op was on the Robotic Put Wall (RPW) team at Berkshire Grey in Bedford, MA. The RPW team is a multidisciplinary product team that works on the BG Put Wall product, which enhances warehouse efficiency and order fulfillment.

As a Mechanical Engineering Co-op at Berkshire Grey, I have developed proficiency in:

• SolidWorks

  • Part, Assembly, and Drawing Generation

  • Sheet Metal Design

  • PDM

• Rapid Prototyping

  • 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, Common Machine Shop Tools

• Testing

  • Test Procedure Development

  • Data Analysis Methods

  • Presentation of Findings

• Design for Assembly

• Design for Manufacturing

• Design Reviews

• Root Cause Analysis

• Cross-Team Collaboration

My first co-op was with the Value Stream Team (VST) at GE Aerospace in Lynn, MA. The VST was a newly formed team that facilitates and implements changes-in-design to part drawings and manufacturing methods of legacy engine models.

As a Cost Design Engineering Co-op at GE Aerospace, I have developed proficiency in:

• Industry-standard engineering drawings

• Industry-standard manufacturing processes

• Siemens NX

• Project Management

  • Excel

  • Prodigy

• Cross-Team Collaboration

• Team Development

• Time Management
