Clement Toh
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate · Industrial Automation · Manufacturing Intelligence
I'm a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at the National University of Singapore (NUS) , with a focus on connecting physical manufacturing systems with reliable, actionable engineering data.
In January 2027, I'll be joining Tesla as a Vehicle Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Gigafactory Texas in Austin. I'm looking forward to gaining experience in manufacturing controls, SCADA systems, production monitoring, and commissioning within a high-volume automotive manufacturing environment.
Previously, at JD Union , I worked on mechanical hardware integration and engineering validation for industrial laser systems. At A*STAR ARTC , I developed IIoT monitoring and data-acquisition solutions for metal additive manufacturing equipment using tools including C++, Python, InfluxDB, and Grafana.
Across these experiences, my goal remains the same: build robust engineering systems that bridge hardware, automation, and data.
