MotoStudent is an international engineering competition where teams design, manufacture, and race a prototype motorcycle. The project requires close coordination across design, manufacturing, and assembly, with strict packaging, performance, and reliability constraints.
My role
My role
I served as a Design and Fabrication Engineer, leading a subteam responsible for rear suspension linkage and braking system development. My role combined CAD ownership, manufacturing coordination, and hands on assembly to move designs from concept to a running prototype.
Subsystems I worked on
Subsystems I worked on
Rear suspension linkage and rocker components
Rear brake system assemblies
Integration with swingarm, axle, and drivetrain components
These systems required careful tolerance control and alignment to ensure proper suspension motion and braking performance.
Manufacturing and testing philosophy
Manufacturing and testing philosophy
My work focused on translating CAD into manufacturable parts. I led design reviews to identify tolerance risks early, then coordinated machining and fit testing to validate designs on the physical bike. Components were iterated based on assembly feedback, clearance checks, and alignment measurements. Emphasis was placed on reliability and serviceability rather than theoretical optimization.
What I learned
