Experience

Undergraduate Research assistant

Imperial College london: Jun 2020 - Aug 2020

I was a summer research assistant with the Imperial College Wireless Power Lab under the supervision of Prof. Paul Mitcheson, helping specifically with market research and consultancy for the spin-out of the start-up company, Bumblebee Power Ltd.. My main job was to mock up market strategies and determine how our patented technology could be made the most profitable and I established contact with prospective clients. My main success was establishing a relationship with Voi Scooters who are still long-term clients of the company.

Engineering consultant

Bumblebee Power Ltd.: jul 2021 - aug 2021

My role continued on from the work I had done as an undergraduate research assistant the previous year. This involved helping integrate Bumblebee's wireless charging technology with Voi's electric scooters (the largest e-scooter operator in Europe/UK) in preparation for a future field trial. My work ranged from running safety tests for regulatory requirements to prototyping to circuit design and to a host of other tasks.

Bumblebee is an exciting start-up company comprising of a small team which allowed me to gain hands-on experience that I'd struggle to find elsewhere

Electrical and electronic engineer

Gibson Robotics: apr 2022 - sep 2022

During my required six-month industrial placement I worked for a small start-up company (team of seven) that designs autonomous drones primarily for the security sector. My main job involved completely designing the power systems for the drone that met the product’s very custom requirements. I also worked on various electronics projects such as microcontroller work and PCB design. As the company was so small I was granted a lot of responsibility and independence over my work. My unofficial job description was “if it has a current going through it, you work on it”.

Graduate Research Engineer

Dyson: Sep 2023 - Aug 2024

I was undergoing a 24-month graduate scheme at Dyson but this was unfortunately cut short due to global redundancies. Despite my brief time here, I loved my experience and felt I gained invaluable knowledge.

I was a part of the Electronics Systems Research team, specifically researching power electronics. I underwent independent research on new power converter topologies, designed experimental procedures, wrote up risk assessments, characterised new devices via simulation and practical work, chaired meetings and coordinated with suppliers.

I did a rotation in the PCB Design team where I saw the completion of multiple production boards from scratch using MentorGraphics and ran inter-team design reviews to ensure the highest standards. I was given high levels of autonomy and responsibility from day one and on top of my day-to-day work.

I served as the Global Engagement Lead of the Graduate Network Committee. In this role, I coordinated events to give my fellow graduates something to look forward to beyond their work. I oversaw Local Engagement Leads in the UK, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines and managed the global strategy for events.
