In 2019, they worked as a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Simplexity Product Development, Inc. During their role at MIT Hyperloop III, they designed, built and installed a cutterhead sensor system to measure down hole conditions including vibrational analysis, temperature measurement, tunnel dimensions and camera feeds. Thomas also helped coordinate on-site operations and operated the boring machine for the team's 8 foot bore. During their Maths Student Shapers Placement, they explored how teaching and examining engineering mathematics is changed by the shift towards online learning and designed a new format for problem/tutorial sheets. At Simplexity Product Development, Inc., they were involved in mechanical and software design for a linear motion control testbed, with swappable motors and controllers, mechanical, electrical and pneumatic assembly for biotech assembly and test fixtures, and root cause analysis, electronics inspection and mechanical troubleshooting on a large mechatronic system.
