Christian Santos contributed to the FormulaRacingatUCDavis/FE12_CAD repository by developing and refining CAD assemblies for a Formula SAE suspension system over two months. He advanced front-end chassis and rear suspension geometry, integrating motion-ratio aware rocker and pushrod designs using SolidWorks and CAD modeling. His work included creating and assembling rear A-arms, implementing anti-dive geometry for improved braking stability, and introducing a chassis jig to support manufacturing readiness. By addressing assembly mating constraints and cleaning up file management, Christian enhanced geometric integrity and data hygiene. His technical approach emphasized design for manufacturing, robust version control, and thorough QA traceability throughout development.

In January 2025, delivered key CAD enhancements and critical fixes for FormulaRacingatUCDavis/FE12_CAD, with a focus on reliability, QA readiness, and manufacturing readiness. Key features expanded suspension design with new CAD models for front/rear shocks and rocker tabs; added real chassis tube to AF Rear Suspension; introduced the Chassis Jig; cleaned up temporary files and added related assets addressing issues. Major bugs fixed targeted CAD assembly integrity, including constrained mating issues to ensure correct datums. These efforts reduced rework, accelerated QA cycles, and improved data hygiene across the repository. Technologies demonstrated include SolidWorks CAD modeling, assembly mating/constraint debugging, design for manufacturing, and thorough version-control traceability.
