Workhorse Group

Mechanical Engineer

    In June of 2021, I joined the Workhorse Group as a Mechanical Engineer. My first six months were spent improving the existing product line at the company. In 2022, I began development on the new product line that would take over as the company's lifeblood, the W56 Step Van. Over the next 21 months, I helped develop this vehicle from the ground up in a complete vehicle design cycle. My responsibilities in the program include the cargo box, body structures, and exterior panels. I released over 100 parts on the vehicle including 22 unique extrusion profiles, custom-tooled composite panels, flat panel composites, and aluminum fabrications. I had my hands in many more parts as well. The truck is currently on the production line and being sold to customers in the United States.

​   My favorite part of this design process was being able to start with a blank slate, conceptualize the design, iterate, prototype, and test. I found the problem solving aspect of the design process very satisfying. Identifying the root cause of an issue and juggling ideas and requirements to zero in on a solution is something that I excel in.

​   Currently, I'm involved with continuous improvement on this vehicle and developing the next iterations for the company.
