Product Insight, Inc. Projects
My second co-op through Northeastern University’s cooperative education program was with Product Insight, Inc., an integrated design and engineering firm and product development consultant that helps companies develop products and systems to make a positive impact on our world. I had a great experience, especially collaborating with other engineers and vendors to create solutions for a vision-assisted robot. While I primarily completed the below three projects, I also oversaw laser-cutting, 3D-printing, and rapid prototyping techniques for the mechanical engineering department and completed the below miscellaneous projects during this co-op.
- Designed two heat sinks to be fabricated, one for an LED and one for a digital micromirror device (DMD) board.
- Selected a fan with the correct specifications to blow over a heat sink
- Created a mount for the selected fan to which a duct was attached.
- Selected a location in a delivery van for a camera and a radar to be mounted.
- Designed two cases for two different radar models.
- Fabricated another radar case to mount into a box.
- Developed a sheet metal bracket to mount a camera.
- Assisted in creation of Highly Accelerated Testing Plan.
- Designed and ordered all components for HALT testing.
- Drafted drawings and used FEA
- Designed a box/case for a power connector adapter.
- Designed and 3d printed a shelf partition wall to press fit to a shelf and 3d printed an adapter plate for a buck converter.
- Laser cutting and 3D printing. Fixed and maintained 3d printer (Raise3D Pro 3 printer).
- Light Testing and Designed a LED Board Layout for scene lighting for the vision assisted robot.
