RIVIAN
ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY
Test Automation Engineering Intern
Systems Integration Team
The CEO, RJ Scaringe, is by my left shoulder! Fun fact, I walked up to him, introduced myself and set up the photo op.
Hardware,
Prototyping,
System Design,
Hardware X Software Integration
I have so much to tell you 😮
Prototyping
• Built a prototype Proof of Concept using a microcontroller, ICs, C++ etc. to streamline error detection on all test systems
Electric Vehicle ECU
• Facilitated development of ECU test systems for the Rivian R1S and R1T 1st & 2nd generation models
Systems Integration
• Developed & integrated hardware – software systems, serving as the basis for cross-functional team design
• The software systems are compromised of a hardware API developed in C++, a Python main program that accesses the API and utilises Structured Query Language (SQL) to interact with a database, all of which I developed
Driver Programming
• Updated a Radio Frequency instrument driver with Python, eliminating bugs & reconciling it with those on the production line
Leadership
• Represented and led 81 interns as a Rivian Explorer and member of the Internship Leadership Committee
Instrumentation
• Researched, set up, programmed and tested High-end instrumentation, helping the team determine the best one
Cross-functional Collaboration
• Worked with cross-functional engineering groups to define system and test requirements and system definitions from schematics and block diagrams and to implement them
YANFENG AUTOMOTIVE INTERIORS
Robotics,
Innovation,
Manufacturing,
Root-cause analysis
I am sure you are wondering what I did 😉
Innovative Problem-solving
• Developed a technology using SolidWorks, pneumatics etc., capable of saving the company $211, 320 per year
Vehicle Manufacturing
• Facilitated Fiat Chrysler Automobiles WS Project (2022 Jeep (Grand) Wagoneer) door & console production
• Utilised Human Machine Interfaces & Manufacturing Execution Systems to troubleshoot manufacturing issues
Hardware
• Performed over 8 Hardware Installations including Cameras & Desktop Mini PCs, improving defect detection
• Engaged in RFID tag reprogramming, ensuring organised storage and shipping of produced car Instrument Panels
Industrial Robotics
• Used Teach Pendants to debug 8 FANUC robots faults per shift, preventing customer shutdown and idle labour
Product Testing
• Produced and tested 7 red rabbits, enhancing product testing and customer satisfaction
• Engaged in product inspection using USS vision system and observation, ensuring only non-defective products are sold to the customer
Fault Handling & Damage Prevention
• Observed production lines and equipment failures and conducted root-cause analyses, resolving concerns
• Conducted In-System Damage cause detection and deterrence, enhancing the quality of products

Innovating Detroit's Robotic Agile Workforce (iDRAW)
So, what did I accomplish 🧐?
Mechatronics
• Facilitated enhanced learning by setting up over 100 mechatronics kits for use by students in the program
Testing & Quality Assurance
• Tested the parts supplied, ensuring quality and functional parts were incorporated in the technology developed
Inventory Management
• Organised and managed inventory of resources and packages, ensuring smooth and effective operations
