MECHANICAL ENGINEER · ANN ARBOR, MI

Hi, I'm Nick

I am a mechanical engineering major at the University of Michigan class of 2029 and the Gearbox Lead at MRacing FSAE, Michigan's student formula team. My technical foundation is built on original design using tools such as Siemens NX and Ansys Mechanical to create real, constraint-driven designs. I am currently interning at Toyota Research and Development as a Powertrain Co-op where I am optimizing engine design through cost reduction, testing, and benchmarking. Whether you're a fellow engineer, recruiter, or just looking around, I hope you enjoy getting to know my work!
