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. Currently in my career I work as a mechanical design engineer, but the majority of my time at Uber was spent as a structural analyst on the CAE team.
CAE Team
During my year of full-time and my internship in 2019, I worked directly with design engineers and OEMs to quickly iterate between different structural concepts and qualify them to our inertial crash loads and vibration criteria. A few of my highlight projects included:
Structural analysis of the seventh generation automotive computer
Trunk, center console, and rear quarter panel integrations on the Volvo XC-90 and Toyota Sienna
Comprehensive bolted joint analysis on pressurized coldplates
These simulations were conducted in ANSYS Mechanical, Sherlock, and LS-Dyna. While I have since moved back to mechanical design, I thoroughly enjoy using ANSYS and frequently leverage my skills to iterate on my designs more quickly.
Mechanical Design Team
During my first internship I worked on the design team to create camera prototyping workstations, fixtures, and sheet metal/extrusion assemblies. My main project was an active alignment system to prototype and calibrate in-house camera modules in a clean environment before engaging external suppliers.
