Spearheading the thermal subsystem design for a CamSAT carrying a UV-reactive biological payload. Leading the integration between CAD, Electromagnetic, and EPS departments to define critical thermal constraints. Developing active and passive Thermal Control Systems (TCS) to ensure strict temperature stability required for melanin production markers and mission success.
Led the design and analysis of dynamic mechanical systems including suspension, steering, and vehicle response models. Directed a multidisciplinary team in developing and validating performance metrics, ensuring compliance with safety and competition standards. Developed several python scripts and datasheets to calculate and simulate how the evolution of the vehicle’s parameters affects its behavior.
Analyzed and optimized manufacturing and mechanical processes such as CNC lathes and welding areas, resulting in a 20% increase in production output and a 15% reduction in lead time. Applied the Lean and Kaizen Methodologies while coordinating a team of 35+ employees. Contributed to product documentation and process standardization aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 practices.
