Ambri Inc.

2020-2021

As a Mechanical Engineer at Ambri, I played a key role in the battery development lifecycle, from initial design through prototype manufacturing to end-of-life testing. My primary responsibilities centered on developing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models and manufacturing drawings for next-generation battery cell designs.

I worked closely with the engineering team to calculate optimal dimensional specifications for batteries targeting higher energy capacity goals. This involved not only the design phase but also hands-on involvement in the prototyping process, ensuring each iteration was built to specification and thoroughly tested throughout its lifecycle.

A significant portion of my work focused on manufacturing innovation and quality assurance. I researched and evaluated new materials and fabrication techniques, conducting comprehensive testing of welding methods, material compatibility, stress tolerance, and corrosion resistance. To standardize these improved processes, I developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for each manufacturing step, helping to establish consistent, repeatable production workflows for the team, and continued this documentation for the other engineering teams as well.
