Experience

Design Engineering Intern

May 2026 – Present
Thingz Inc. · Galena, IL
  • Designed and managed large electrical substations in Autodesk Inventor using point cloud data and engineering drawings to provide a digital twin representative of real-world equipment and environment.
  • Developed models of electrical substation equipment, producing over 1,000 parts and subassemblies.
  • Rapidly created and managed a library of standardized substation parts and assemblies to streamline the CAD modeling process, reducing design and assembly turnaround time from a few hours to mere minutes.
  • Operated 360° LiDAR scanners and cameras to capture point cloud data across entire substations on-site.
  • Prepared weekly reports on modeling insights and progress, contributing to the project timeline.
  • Consistently adhere to modeling principles and requirement standards to ensure proper integration with existing parts, assemblies, and naming conventions.
