Propulsion Responsible Engineer
As Propulsion RE for the 2026-2027 season, I own the full design, analysis, and validation of the UWFE drivetrain propulsion system including sprockets, motor and chain guard.
incoming projects
Sprocket and Adapter Design
Design of <40T interchangeable sprockets in SolidWorks for quick-swap final drive ratios
Validate structural integrity through Ansys simulations and hand calculations
Design and analysis of adapter to switch sprockets without the need of full differential disassembly
Chain Guard Design
Design of a rules-compliant chain guard to fully enclose the chain and sprocket assembly
Apply DFMA principles for ease of removal and reinstallation at competition
Motor Guard Design
Design of a rules-compliant scatter guard to fully enclose the motor
Ensure clearance with surrounding drivetrain and chassis components while minimizing mass
