About

Hello! I’m a senior mechanical engineering student at Rice University. I’m currently trying to find full-time mechanical engineering roles in robotics, aerospace, product design, or automation.

Last summer I interned at Amazon Robotics in Boston where I designed end effector manifolds for the Cardinal robot. I also investigated three different additive manufacturing techniques for manifold applications to reduce part count and optimize flow. The previous summer, I interned at Intralox where I built an automated tank switcher device using pneumatics to reduce waste and enable longer material sample tests to be run.

Outside of engineering, I have a passion for nature and wildlife photography. Check out my photography portfolio here: https://salon.io/samsarver
