Hello!
I'm Edward Lee
ABOUT
I'm a Mechatronics and Controls master's student at UC San Diego with experience in mechanical design, automation, and controls. My work include developing torsional vibration tools at Solar Turbines, assembling/testing autonomous robot subsystems at Matic Robots, building/programming a wheeled bipedal robot with closed-loop balance control, and various other engineering experiences. Outside of engineering, I enjoy 3D printing and pickleball.
EXPERIENCE
June 2026 - Current
Solar Turbines
Mechanical Engineering Intern
I applied torsional vibration and rotordynamics methods to develop a VBA-based tool that automated turbine package model assembly and analysis.
Dec 2025 - Jan 2026
Matic Robots
Robot Production Intern
I assembled 720+ electromechanical subsystems, executing functional testing to diagnose defects, analyze root causes, and reduce the full production cycle by 10%.
Aug 2025 - April 2026
ARC Lab
Graduate Research Assistant
I designed and prototyped robotic mechanisms for shoulder biomechanics and led the integration of BLDC motor controls using ODrive Pro and CAN bus.
Jul 2023 - May 2024
Perrybotics VEX U
Co-Founder
I co-led the manufacturing, assembly, and programming of our two robots for the VEX University Robotics Competition.
