Hi, I'm Shubham.
I study Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve, and I spend most of my time in the shop with CWRU Motorsports, our Baja SAE team. I machine parts for the car, tear down its drivetrain before competitions, and I'm leading the build of a test stand to break our yokes on purpose.
Looking for a manufacturing, test or chassis engineering internship for Summer 2027, or a Spring or Fall 2027 co-op.
Projects

Drivetrain Torsional Test Stand
A rig to twist our drivetrain yokes until they break, so we can check the FEA against a real number.

Machining for SR26 and SR27
More than 15 drivetrain, suspension and frame parts, on manual machines and 3- and 4-axis CNC.

Pre-Competition Drivetrain Teardown
Tearing down the 4WD drivetrain before competition, and the cracked hub it turned up.
