Reliability and Maintainability Systems Engineer for the Propulsion and Lift Systems on the F-35 program.

Monitored the operational performance, regulatory compliance, and maintenance of 68 Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 turbine enginesGathered and evaluated engine reliability data to identify systemic issues causing operational burden to develop or refine preventative maintenance programs or engineering technical orders that would drive continuous operational improvementProvided direct and virtual support to aircraft maintenance teams with troubleshooting the engine systems by interpreting technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics to reduce the aircraft downtimePerformed root cause analysis of significant maintenance events and developed a corrective action plan to resolve the issue and prevent future occurrences that could decrease the safety of the aircraftProduced and authorized maintenance instructions that could not be found in aircraft or engine technical manuals to support one-off repairs or inspectionsLed multiple discussions with the engine manufacturer to communicate feedback on improving the quality of the engine or aircraft electronic maintenance manuals based on repetitive maintenance disruptions or repairsWorked on cross-functional teams to interpret/release service bulletins from manufacturers and federally mandated inspection or repair procedures and provided cost analysis to support project releaseRevised maintenance instruction documents to clarify work steps that would increase the feasibility of performing maintenance inspections or removing and installing components

Powerplant Shop Support Engineer for the Rolls-Royce RB211-535-E4/E4-B ProductProvided work scope to establish maintenance, repair, and overhaul plan for engine return to service Collaborated with operational excellence team and other power plant teams to develop a standardized engine preservation program across all power plant models in American Airlines’ fleet Authorized specific conditions on engine modules and components that were beyond OEM Manual limits using industry standards to approve or reject conditionsRevised the Engine Shop Program report to best fit the company goals, while ensuring that revisions would maintain satisfactory engine performance once repaired/overhauled engines were returned as spares

Contract Engineer with Henderson Taylor Consulting at American Airlines. Developed two technical orders for the CFM LEAP-1B product to increase the operational reliability of the B737-MAX8.Reviewed and evaluated new revisions of Components Maintenance Manuals to ensure that all changes did not conflict with current components maintenance programs.

Coordinated with full-time engineers to receive, process, and evaluate technical manual changes while ensuring the changes did not conflict with current engine maintenance instructions or programsPerformed analysis on turbines exhaust gas temperature data to support an engine wash maintenance program.Supported various projects for the Rolls-Royce RB211-535, Trent 700, Trent 800 and General Electric GE90 engines.

Increased the operational performance of the General Motors Arlington paint booth system by analyzing airflow data and providing GM engineers with technical solutions to issues that were encountered.Authored two technical reports that provided feedback to HydroChem Engineers on the water removal system at the GM plant and how performance can be increased. Interpreted mechanical drawings to compare the design parameters against actual collected data.Ensured that any problems with the paint-booth airflow performance were corrected by a deadline agreed upon HydroChem and General Motors.Assisted a defect analyst in inspecting vehicles at several stages of the painting process and shared the defect data with General Motors personnel in order to increase paint job quality.

Provided teaching assistance in Precalculus and Calculus II to 20+ students who were enrolled in the Arlington Undergraduate Research-based Achievement (AURAS) project at The University of Texas at Arlington. Offered personal tutoring for students who needed more assistance outside of the laboratory period.Graded laboratory and homework assignments, providing students with constructive feedback on how their work can be improved.

Proactively sought out customers who needed assistance with their shopping necessities.Explained the use, operation, and care of merchandise to customers.Assisted in managerial operations.
