I was assigned to the design and manufacturing of the suspension tabs and their welding jig. This required navigating small adjustments of suspension points, design/validation/manufaturing of suspension tabs, design/manufacturing of the reversable jig, and tab grinding. When we weld the frame of the car, we cannot be certain it doesn't distort under the heat. We also need the suspension points to be accurate to the design, otherwise we risk safety and performance. Therefore, we need to jig the tabs and grind their tight fit to the frame after it is welded.

Conducted frame modal analysis for use in the design presentation to judges. Created a series of 1D meshes to approximate the tubes of the frame, and 2D meshes to include body panels.

I spent many hours in the shop helping with assorted machining tasks in additon to my projects. Pictured are two examples: rear wheel hubs and brake pedal base block for MY22.
