​

  • Responsible for overseeing the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of the Q20 (2019-2020) racecar on top of my Chassis Lead responsibilities.

 

Chassis Lead                                                                                                                                                                             August 2016 – July 2018

​

  • Tasked with designing and manufacturing a new lightweight, high stiffness chassis for an open-wheel race car each year.

  • Responsibilities include designing 3D CAD models, ensuring they adhere to the SAE rules/regulations, using FEA to perform structural analysis under various static and dynamic loads, and then performing physical tests to validate models.

  • Role requires a solid understanding of chassis design, vehicle dynamics, manufacturing processes of various materials, and the relationships between vehicle systems (suspension, steering, powertrain, aerodynamics, and ergonomics).

  • Improvements on the 2017 chassis included increased stiffness, improved driver comfort and egress time, and a much shorter manufacturing timeline compared to 2016.
