Tufts Electric Racing

Tufts Electric Racing designs and builds a fully electric Formula Hybrid race car for the FH&E competition. I currently serve as Chief Mechanical Engineer, where I lead mechanical subsystem teams in updating our existing vehicle and designing a brand-new race car from scratch for competition in 2027.

My role focuses heavily on cross-team coordination, design leadership, and long-term project planning. I run mechanical design reviews, meet one-on-one with subsystem leads, and ensure clear communication across chassis, suspension, drivetrain, cooling, accumulator packaging, and braking teams. I maintain system-level alignment between designs and timelines so that mechanical, electrical, and controls components integrate successfully.

I’ve worked extensively on packaging strategy and am helping train members on thermal modeling using COMSOL and CAD using OnShape. A major challenge of the role is managing multi-year technical development cycles—ensuring that hundreds of small tasks across dozens of students converge into a manufacturable competition-ready vehicle.

Tufts Electric Racing has been my “home away from home.” Leading and designing alongside student engineers has strengthened my technical capability, communication, and leadership. I’ve worked across disciplines, interfacing with electrical, software, and business teams to move toward a fully integrated race-ready vehicle.

This project continues to challenge me to build race car systems with real-world constraints, safety regulations, engineering limits, and financial limitations while managing timelines and people.
