Beginning with excellence.

Carter has worked for two manufacturing plants over the past two years

Design, automation, and manufacturing are all areas that Carter thrives in

Marvin & BTD provided amazing learning opportunities to ensure a seamless entrance to the professional environment

Engineering Intern

Marvin May 2025 - August 2025

Warroad, Minnesota

Focus Areas

Ground-Up CAD Projects

Example shows a variable table height system
Tasked with raising and lowering a table safely
Solution was stress tested and fully modeled
Flagship project for general work done

Prototyping & Testing

Picture is of a prototype saw guard
Tasked with protecting area of chop saws
Prototype above was built based on my design
Studied usefulness of design / improvement routes

Retrofitting Machinery

Example shown is an existing anchored easel
Tasked with making this easel mobile
Worked with maintenance to make for easy construction on existing infrastructure

Key Project - Flip-up Transfer Table

This design features an over-centering linkage and gas springs to make an easy lift table for operators

When going over center, the mechanism locks in place

Extensive stress / dynamic analyses were performed
