* Heavy involvement in System Design and Development for multiple attractions:o Acted as primary author of several key system definition documents on multiple projectso Participated in team Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment reviewso Participated in multiple multi-discipline System and Software design reviews as both reviewer and presenter. o Developed first pass project scheduleso Identified issues with key pieces of equipment and worked with team to identify appropriate replacements based on system requirements and specifications* Developed System level definition and documentation using UML, SysML, Functional Block Diagrams, and Physical Heirarchy Diagrams to represent:o Power Control and Distributiono Pneumatics Control and Distributiono Attraction Network Architectureo Fault and Fault Response Hierarchyo Logical Sequencing of subsystems (and between subsystems)o Subsystem Interactionso System Timing* Performed system testing and validationo Performed I/O checkouto Ran Acceptance Testing Procedureso Identified and helped resolve discrepancies between expected and actual system behavior.o Troubleshot both hardware and software issues* Performed Regression Risk Assessment & Analysiso Assessed scope of a software changeso Identified system impact and tests impactedo Determined what level of retesting was necessaryo Estimated retest timeo Coordinated when the change went in, when retesting was performed, to limit the impact to other installation and testing activities.* Contributed to improving department standards & processeso Co-authored key operator safety design standardso Co-authored design standard for round rideso Restructured the Ride Handbook – which details the how, what, and why of the Ride Department design, safety, and best practices, for all new employees.

* Traveled domestically and internationally to support testing and functional validation of mock-ups as well as the final attraction. * Wrote and ran detailed system acceptance test plan(s) in accordance with the system design * Documented and communicated all unexpected test results and confirmed proper functionality with the software and hardware team when necessary.* Tracked daily and weekly progress of all testing and reported to team lead to contribute to earned value tracking.

* Continued and expanded upon tasks taken up during internship* Self-taught visual basic over the span of a few months and developed sophisticated macros to process large amounts of data to simulate, and predict, vehicle movements and stopping distances throughout an attraction * Created technical kinematic and MATLAB simulation equation documents that capture the development and implementation in the overall system design. * Used UML to present potential solutions, outline the structure and design of the software logic.
