Work
Aafreen KaurCentennial Innovates
Aerospace Engineering Researcher, Jan 2024 - Aug 2024At Centennial Innovates, I worked on applied research projects with industry partners. For Win Global, I designed a hybrid, environmentally friendly UAV using advanced CAD software (Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Fusion 360). I led the transition from a blimp-inspired shape to an aircraft structure with improved aerodynamics.
I conducted CFD and FEA simulations using ANSYS to validate and optimize the design, delivered detailed engineering drawings, and researched propulsion systems, batteries, and APUs. I analyzed materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, recommended avionics components, and compiled technical reports with BOMs and engineering drawings.
MetalCraft Marine Project
Aug 2023 - Jan 2024For MetalCraft Marine, I designed a custom boat rotating jig from scratch using Siemens NX and Rhino 3D. I conducted FEA simulations under varying load conditions, delivered engineering drawings detailing specifications and requirements, and utilized Teamcenter for collaboration. I authored technical reports documenting methodologies and engineering solutions throughout the project lifecycle.
