NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Internship 2023

During my first college summer (2023), I interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as a Systems Integration and Test Engineer. Despite being the sole mechanical engineer among an entire team of electrical engineers, I quickly adapted and assumed co-lead responsibilities for CRISTAL satellite's Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) testing and development. I also played a key role in avionics hardware development for projects such as the Carbon Plume Mapper and SMICES, alongside environmental testing for Europa Clipper's mechanical supports. My primary achievement overall was quickly and efficiently mastering new skills to support my team, communicate effectively, and meet deliverables.
