Ryan Grotke

Mechanical engineering student at CU Boulder.

I like understanding how the pieces fit together, then finding ways to make the whole system work better.

Seeking a Summer 2027 engineering internship.

Selected projects

Spring 2026 · Team of five · Technical lead

I programmed the navigation, calibrated the motors, and designed adjustable cupholders for a four-cup delivery robot.

Best in Automation · CU Robotics Club · Spring 2026

Inside the project: wheel-speed calibration, visual targets, and a modular cupholder.

Personal course project · CAD model

I measured a step-in snowboard binding and modeled its parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, using photos to help recreate the curved shapes.

Inside the project: caliper measurements, curved surfaces, and nested assemblies.

Mechanical systems

In progressLast updated October 26, 2026

I’m building a gauge to show current and peak driving forces, then compare its readings with my car’s IMU data.

Independent vehicle instrumentation project

Tools for documenting work, checking records, and organizing everyday tasks.
