THE ENGINEER

Steve L.

I build electromechanical systems and digital products. As a Mechatronics student, I work across mechanical design, controls, embedded hardware, physical prototyping and software. I focus on turning ideas into systems and products that can be built, tested and refined.

EV Charger Design Intern

BRIGHTON ENERGY & CSE · CHICO, CA
  • Conduct on-site assessments of existing electrical systems, site constraints and installation requirements to support pre-construction design.
  • Support charging-station layout refinement against electrical, accessibility and site requirements, including a site-informed revision that increased proposed capacity by 33%, from 6 to 8 handles.
  • Coordinate with housing authorities and design teams to communicate recommendations, secure approval and initiate plan-set revisions.
MAY 2026 – AUG 2026

Undergraduate Control Systems Researcher

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, CHICO
  • Researched and developed a control system converting a manual thermoformer into a semi-autonomous electromechanical machine.
  • Designed motion assemblies in SolidWorks and built Arduino-based embedded control with automated motion sequencing.
  • Validated and debugged the system on physical hardware, then presented methodology, decisions and results to an academic audience.
