Mach Industries - Mechanical Engineering

At Mach Industries, I contributed to the development of vertically manufactured and rapidly scalable autonomous defense systems to strengthen U.S. deterrence and security. The company designs and produces next-generation UAVs and missiles, emphasizing innovation speed and cost-efficient vertical integration.

I primarily worked on Glide, a fully autonomous high-altitude glide bomber. My primary focus was prototype-level design and testing, including a new carbon-fiber tail-tube joint that improved manufacturability and structural reliability and was immediately adopted into all new vehicle production. I also conceived and developed a servo “flutter-warming” method using a custom PID controller—an R&D project that replaced traditional heaters by maintaining internal servo temperatures in extreme conditions. The system reduced power draw by 20% and is now used in test flights. In addition, I designed tooling for tail-section manufacturing, combining analysis, design iteration, and testing to deliver reliable and repeatable production methods.

Through these experiences I advanced my skills in mechanical design, R&D testing, design validation, and mechatronic design. While specific details of my contributions remain confidential, I am always happy to discuss my experience and role in more depth.
