Principal Aerospace & Mechanical Engineer and Program Manager for a large and reputable design engineering firm in the greater Boston, MA area serving within the Aerospace & Defense industry to several Fortune 500 clients; such as GE AVIATION.

Simulation analysis of structural components using finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of electronic cooling systems. I also manage large-scale engineering development projects from initial conception to customer implementation.

Senior Project Engineer/Project Manager:1. Developed System and Technical Requirements from Business Requirements with cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, purchasing, sales, and manufacturing representatives2. Managed the value engineering product development of a new thermostat probe for a $1M cost reduction ($5M annual savings with high-volume) and manufacturing transition from the USA to China. Cross-functional team leader; including the product management, design (BOMs, drawings, ECOs), manufacturing, compliance, reliability and sales groups.3. Generated the initial Schedule with Microsoft-Project with EVM methodology; led weekly team meetings with minutes, design reviews and presentations to management4. Coordinated the efforts of team members to prepare and review the Contracts and Quality System for several sub-contractor and primary Contract Manufacturer Vendors in China5. Prepared the net present value (NPV) analysis based upon financial models of sales and costs6. Managed Vendor quality, cost and delivery performance metrics versus production goals

Responsible for the design, analysis, testing, and program management for new temperature sensing devices for the Fire and Security industry.

I worked as a Senior Project Engineer on the new Optima HD high current Ion Implant machines. My specific role was to manage the "Tactical Operations Team" on the product release of the machine to full-production status.

Responsible for the design, analysis, test and production support of aircraft engine sensors:1 Performed CFD analysis (CFdesign6.0) on a new Total Temperature (Tt2) sensor with electric heater elements to improve de-icing performance.2 Designed a new Tt2 sensor with Copper Inserts to significantly improve the heat transfer rate between the electric heaters and trailing edge of the part; in order to meet the de-icing certification requirements of the engine.

Team Leader / Principal Engineer - Mechanical Design & Analysis Group. Technical team leadership for mechanical design of extrusions, castings, weldments, sheetmetal panels, frames, plastic parts, bearings, gears, belts, pulleys, and shafts for Semiconductor capital equipment.

Responsible for all aspects of Turbomachinery component design; from the initial conception to field problem resolution:1. Compressor & Turbine Hardware Cost Reduction Programs: Conducted design analyses (e.g., stress, life, fit, function, and performance), and manufacturing process capability studies to reduce the cost of several major components (e.g., Casings, Nozzles, and Disks) by $ 10,000 per set for the T700 & CT7 engines.2. High Pressure Turbine Stator / Life Improvement Re-design: Developed a new stator design for the TF34 engine application, which increased the durability by twice as much . This work was done with the aid of finite element analysis (Ansys 5.2™), CAD (Unigraphics 10™), and design for manufacture techniques.3. High Pressure Turbine Rotor / Life Improvement Program:Designed a new “bolt-less” rotor configuration, to reduce the mechanical and thermal stress in the high speed (> 45,000 rpm) rotating components by a factor of two (2).
