Noah Elsayed
Mechanical & Digital Engineering Student
Mechanical engineering student with strong electrical and software skills, seeking to leverage a multidisciplinary background in a challenging role. I apply this skillset to automotive engineering through UCalgary Racing, where I lead the design of the team’s electric vehicle cooling system. I am interested in roles that combine mechanical systems with intelligent control and data-driven design.

Experience
–
Mechanical Engineering Intern at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
Highlights
- Quantified pipeline flow losses using simulations and hand calculations, then implemented drag-reducing agents to increase throughput, reducing operating costs by $12M annually
- Automated performance analysis workflows using VBA, decreasing analyst workload by 10+ hours weekly
- Mitigated off-spec delivery issues by validating condensate composition through a 15-site testing program
- Diagnosed a failed in-line inspection (ILI) tool through root cause analysis and implemented a standardized pre-run checking system to prevent repeat failures
–
Production Engineering Summer Student at Whitecap Resources Ltd.
Highlights
- Achieved <5% pump sizing error across 30+ cases by developing and validating a model in Python using hydraulic performance calculations and field statistics
- Enabled accurate pump selection by deploying the validated sizing model as a user-facing application adopted by field engineers, used in 2-4 sizings monthly
- Identified root causes of pump failures through tear-downs and failure analysis, informing maintenance and pump selection strategy updates
- Saved 100+ hours annually by analyzing surface casing CO2 leakage data and flagging anomalies with a geospatial Power BI dashboard
–
Engineering Summer Student at BRE Group
Highlights
- Developed fluid mechanics case studies incorporating thermodynamic and phase-behavior calculations for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) training program with 200+ participants
- Co-authored a technical article analyzing common reservoir simulation pitfalls affecting model accuracy
- Spearheaded a complete website overhaul, modernizing online presence
Extracurricular
– present
Drivetrain Subteam Member and Cooling Lead at UCalgary Racing
Highlights
- Designed the team’s first electric vehicle cooling system using Simulink by modeling heat generation and airflow requirements, establishing a validated framework for future development
- Lowered vehicle center of gravity by 7 mm by designing and finite element analysis-validating a motor controller mount to a 2.5× safety factor in SolidWorks, verifying results through manual calculations
- Manufactured drivetrain and cooling components using mill, lathe, and waterjet equipment, translating designs into track-ready hardware
- Enabled data-driven thermal design by developing an STM32-based data logging system in Altium to capture real-time drivetrain temperatures
