Hi, I’m Satvik Singh.
Mechanical Engineer focused on building high-performance systems in automotive, EV, and advanced manufacturing.
I don’t just design parts.
I work on systems that have to behave correctly under real-world conditions — not just pass simulations.
Right now, I’m pursuing my Master’s in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California, where I spend most of my time designing, testing, and breaking things until they make sense.
My work sits at the intersection of:
– Mechanical Design
– Simulation & FEA
– Manufacturing & DFM/DFA
– System Behavior & Validation
What I Care About
I’m interested in problems where engineering meets reality.
That means:
– Systems that look stable in simulation but fail under repetition
– Designs that are optimized for performance and manufacturability
– Mechanical systems interacting with control, delay, and physical constraints
I’m especially drawn to:
electric vehicles, lightweight structures, additive manufacturing, and intelligent mechanical systems.
How I Think About Engineering
Most systems today don’t fail loudly.
They fail subtly — through delay, drift, vibration, or instability.
That’s the space I like working in.
I focus on:
– Understanding failure modes, not just preventing them
– Making decisions based on physics, not assumptions
– Keeping designs simple enough to be reliable under stress
I’m less impressed by designs that look complex.
I care about systems that behave well when pushed.
What I’ve Worked On
– Generative design of a drone frame with 38% weight reduction and improved stiffness
– CAD modeling and FEA validation for structural and thermal systems
– Additive manufacturing with lattice optimization and real-world constraints
– Hands-on prototyping and iterative testing
Where I’m Headed
I want to work on next-generation mechanical systems in:
automotive, EVs, and advanced manufacturing.
Long term, my goal is simple:
build systems that are not just optimized — but trusted.
Let’s Connect
If you’re working on:
– high-performance mechanical systems
– EV platforms or manufacturing innovation
– simulation + real-world validation problems
I’d love to connect and collaborate.
