Led complete overhaul of rack-and-pinion steering system — transitioned from spur to helical gear geometry, improving efficiency and load distribution; substituted EN19 steel with Aluminium 7075-T6, delivering ∼40% subsystem weight reduction while satisfying all structural integrity requirements validated via Ansys FEA — a team-first achievement. Engineered the team’s first dynamic Brake Bias Adjustment System (BBAS), enabling real-time front/rear brake force distribution tuning; currently in prototype validation on the E-Baja 2026 competition vehicle and projected to improve overall handling performance by 15–18%. Defined and iteratively refined steering and suspension hardpoints across multiple design loops to achieve target Ackermann geometry and desired handling characteristics, directly enhancing vehicle cornering behaviour. Executed end-to-end design-to-validation workflow: SolidWorks CAD → MSC Adams Car kinematic simulation → Ansys Workbench FEA; developed custom calculation templates for Ackermann analysis, steering ratio verification, and hardpoint validation prior to physical prototype build.
