Electratón

Role

Team Leader < Head Aerodynamycist < Aerodynamics Engineer

Dates

Aug 2022 - Present

Electraton is an electric single-seater racing car designed and manufactured by Tec Racing Monterrey - Electraton team. This car competes in "Electraton", a national championship that consists of 5 hour-long races in different cities and an exhibition race in Formula E.

I entered the team in August 2022 as a member of the Aerodynamics division. Here I started learning about basic aerodynamic concepts, composites manufacturing, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to enable design and performance optimization. On February 2023 I was promoted to head aerodynamicist, where I led team of engineers on the redesign of the front wing based on aerodynamic principles and airfoil analysis, increasing downforce by 217.5% and reducing drag by 23.5%, fabricated the car's new body to enhance its structural integrity and reduce its weight by 4 kg and made research on aerodynamic concepts that could be applied to the next vehicle. Most recently, I was promoted to team leader in recognition for outstanding performance, dedication, and commitment to the team.
