As Powertrain Lead for Formula uOttawa, I led the development, testing, and validation of the vehicle's powertrain while working closely with other subsystem leads to integrate the car as a whole. Beyond powertrain, I contributed to composite manufacturing, team logistics, subsystem collaboration, technical presentations, and student mentorship.
Powertrain Leadership:
Led the powertrain team through design, manufacturing, testing, and
validation while coordinating work across multiple engine and intake
systems.
Subsystem Collaboration:
Worked with other subsystem leads to resolve packaging, integration,
and performance constraints throughout vehicle development.
Technical Communication:
Presented subsystem architectures, design decisions, and testing results
to the team to support engineering decisions and maintain alignment
between subsystems.
Engine Assembly & Disassembly:
Performed engine assembly and disassembly to identify component failures,
diagnose issues, and support the construction of high-performance engines.
Composite Manufacturing:
Contributed to in-house composite manufacturing and fabrication to
support vehicle development and reduce reliance on external resources.
Full Vehicle Assembly & Disassembly:
Participated in full vehicle tear-downs and assembly, gaining hands-on
experience across multiple vehicle subsystems and supporting race car
development.
Testing & Performance Tracking:
Participated in countless testing sessions, tracking lap times and
performance data to evaluate vehicle performance and support development
decisions.
Team Representation:
Participated in design presentations and technical discussions at
competitions and sponsor events, representing the team's engineering
work and development process.
