Powertrain Structural Eng. Intern @ Lucid

Core Skills

• FEA-driven iteration
• CATIA
• GD&T Analysis
• Fastener Engineering

What I did

• Root-caused a drive unit mount durability test failure by verifying bolted-joint behavior, analyzing fractured fasteners, and correlating findings with CAE team FEA results; identified preload loss from mount deformation and unfavorable bolt loading as the final failure mechanism.
• Redesigned production mount through DFM/FEA-informed iterations, reduced peak stress by 41% to below casting material's -3σ yield stress while maintaining vehicle packaging and GD&T requirements.
• Presented root-cause analysis, design tradeoffs, and final validation to 30-person drive unit team and directors.
