Jaro Fleet Technologies

Mechatronics Engineering Internship

Timeline: August 2022- December 2022

Location: Oakland, CA

Jaro Fleet Technologies is an electric truck charging startup where I was involved in early prototyping efforts for their first product. My responsibilities included:

● Assembled a robotic electric truck charger prototype to validate mechanical and mechatronic design concepts using various prototyping tools including FDM & SLA 3D printers and laser cutters; as well as machine shop equipment such as drill presses, bandsaws, miter saws and sheet metal brakes.

● Prototyped and debugged the charger’s low-voltage electronic circuit comprising microcontrollers, motors, and sensors to achieve a desired motion path.

● Collaborated on the design of a complex product assembly on Fusion 360 with a mechanical design engineer using master modeling CAD principles to speed up mechanical design work by 50%.

● Troubleshooted and unblocked technical risks in mechanical designs by prototyping test fixtures and conducting relevant experiments.

● Managed a Bill of Materials and Release template for the product prototype consisting of 200+ off-the-shelf and custom parts to track build progress over the course of the project timeline.
