Baja SAE is an engineering design competition where students from across the world compete to build the best single-seat off-road race car. My team, Blue Jay Racing, is currently ranked 4th out of 200+ teams internationally in the 2024 season.
I am currently designing the front differential for our next-generation vehicle, the JH21XT.
This role has included me leading the design and development of an innovative off-center front differential from concept to production. I engineered custom gears, shafts, load-bearing case, and COTS components selection using extensive design processes and FEA.
Before this design role, I was integrating into the team by manufacturing,
working on the vehicles,
and doing various other vehicle maintenance and team management tasks.
The team has taught me innumerable engineering skills,
and has exposed me to rigorous engineering processes.
I've learned the to machine using the mill, lathe, amd wire EDM, and other making
processes such as carbon fibre layup and MIG welding.
Here are some of the parts that I have made:
And here are some photos of the team and vehicles:
