Systems Engineering with a Focus on Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

Sep 2026 – Present

Oshawa, ON

Engineering Operations Co-op Student, Equipment and Maintenance Systems

I support the digitization of equipment records, inspections, and maintenance workflows within Canadian Engineering Operations. This includes creating and updating asset, location, meter, preventive maintenance, and inspection configurations in IBM Maximo, and supporting GEETS records for lab and measurement equipment, including calibration and equipment assignment.

I review existing control sheets, logs, and tracking records to determine the right system of record for each type of information, then digitize recurring checks for equipment such as environmental chambers, load frames, EV chargers, HVAC systems, and machine shop equipment. I coordinate with equipment owners, administrators, and maintenance trades to confirm requirements, and write work instructions and handover material to support adoption of the new workflows.

I also work with test validation engineers on environmental durability testing of polycarbonate material samples. The samples are exposed to salt fog, hot, and cold conditions to characterize crystalline surface formations and the resulting changes in material strength. Alongside this, I support multiaxial impact testing on polycarbonate samples at temperatures as low as -30°C to evaluate cold-temperature impact performance.

I completed a 4-day Lean manufacturing course at GM.

May 2026 – Sep 2026

Burnaby, BC

Electrical Engineering Co-op Student

Produced electrical design drawings, single-line diagrams, schematics, and panel layouts in AutoCAD for tenant improvements and building upgrades across 80+ active commercial, government, and private sector projects in the Lower Mainland. The work covered single-phase and 3-phase distribution systems from 14.4 kV utility service down to 600 V, 208 V, and 120 V branch circuits, applying the BC Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code.

Ran preliminary load calculations and feeder sizing checks per CSA C22.1, and performed lighting photometric simulations in AGI32 to validate illuminance levels, uniformity, and code compliance for renovation and retrofit designs.

Documented equipment condition on site, including service equipment, distribution panels, branch circuits, and BC Hydro pole and pad-mounted transformers, and drafted code-referenced condition assessments and scope write-ups. I also built and maintained Excel-based tracking tools and equipment logs that a four-person team used to monitor project status.

Attended manufacturer and project site tours, including an Eaton facility tour, covering switchgear, panelboards, and distribution equipment from Eaton, Schneider Electric, and other major manufacturers.
