Learn moreAs part of the GEARE program at Purdue I was able to spend one of my work sessions abroad with Daimler. For this session I worked at the global headquarters of Daimler in Stuttgart Germany. The Daimler headquarters has engineering departments which cover the full range products from electric cars to commercial vehicles. For this work session I continued with my work on the design side of Daimler Trucks powertrain engineering division. My specific team was responsible for the design of the transmission gear set. Through my work in this department I was exposed to all aspects of the design process from talks with new suppliers to components which had been fully optimized after years of production. This experience was also very educational as I was able to expand my knowledge of commercial vehicle transmissions as well as improve my German skills.
For my first session with Daimler Trucks, I worked in the Powertrain Applications division at Detroit. Detroit offers a full line of powertrain systems including engines, transmissions, axles, and after-treatment systems. Within the powertrain applications division I worked specifically on product design for engine components. Product design involves the development of CAD models and drawings for new engine components as well as improvements on previous iterations. Through this experience I was able to greatly build upon my CAD and design skills and worked on a variety of projects which you can learn more about at the link below.
I worked as a Summer Undergraduate Intern on the Project Chrono development team. Generated vehicle and terrain model assets for use in future simulations and autonomous vehicle controller testing. Asset modeling was done through Blender, an open-source graphics software used commonly for visual effects and computer games. I also worked with modeling wheel tread types for use in traction simulations on the Jet Propulsion Laboratories Robosimian.
