Uber ATG

ATG was Uber's self-driving unit that developed autonomous vehicles to one day operate on their ride mobility application. I was an intern for two summers and began my full-time career with the company until it was acquired by Aurora Innovation in 2021.
During my two summer internships I had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of design and analysis projects, which I’ve detailed below:
Designed an active alignment system to prototype custom camera modules, integrating UV adhesive curing systems, collimator arrays, a stewart platform, and various components to meet class 6 clean room requirements
Developed a drop test characterization tool, compiling accelerometer data through MATLAB Simulink in order to identify the response damping and predict the corresponding acceleration on impact
Collaborated with ATG & Toyota’s design teams to quickly model, analyze, and iterate on the Sienna compute integration - qualifying automotive shock, vibration, and inertial crash specifications
Additionally, during my full-time position I worked on many projects that continued into my position on the CAE team at Aurora Innovation, including:
Structural analysis of the seventh generation automotive computer, involving sealed coldplate structures with critical O-Ring seals and bolted joints. Through this I developed a standard bolted joint analysis methodology for Aurora, grade-dependent torque specifications, and guidelines for fastener selection
Modelled and analyzed the full trunk, roof, and quarter panel integrations on the Volvo XC-90 and Toyota Sienna
