Hawthorne, California, US

Responsible for production, test, quality of electromechanical assemblies on Starlink satellites.

Hawthorne, California, US

Responsible for Starlink V2-Mini Bus Component Reliability. My team made design & process updates to remove failures modes uncovered by process failure modes and effects analysis, MRB hardware root cause efforts, and on orbit anomaly investigations. Previously my team closed out V1.5 by owning the top level vehicle layout including bus mechanical.

Hawthorne, California, US

As a Starlink Sr Harness Design Engineer responsible for V1.5 & V2.0 Satellite Flight Harnessing, I: - Influenced our V2.0 Satellite Layout design & resolved compatibility issues between components. - Mapped V2.0 Vehicle level avionics inputs and outputs & released harness designs to connect the entire vehicle. - Worked creatively by incorporating new.

• As a Harness Design Engineer II responsible for V1.0 & V1.5 Satellite Harnessing, I impacted our V1.5 Satellite vehicle design from the start & accomplished the following:
• Influenced V1.5 Satellite layout to be favorable towards harnessing and resolved compatibility issues between components (including influencing board interface design & pinouts).
• Created a vehicle component naming scheme and mapped avionics inputs and outputs.
• Coordinated with component owners to understand power & communication protocol requirements to determine wire sizing & cable selection.
• Documented thermal/environmental requirements & worked with piece part manufacturers to identify and source cheaper connectors.
• Shared Preliminary BOM lists to get long lead-time parts on order ahead of design releases.

• As a Manufacturing Engineer II for Starlink's V1.0 Satellites, I took over harness design/build ownership and was responsible for the following:
• Improving harness designs and building instructions based off production/integration/supply chain feedback. This also included visiting suppliers in order to maintain relationships, gather feedback, and develop them.
• Coordinating satellite level harness changes with Supply Chain and documenting public schedules to ensure we had contingency plans. This included designing and sourcing various harness iterations to cover.

I joined the Starlink program during finalization of the V0.9 design. At the time, Starlink had only launched two satellites (of a previous design) called Tintin A and B. I supported harness builds, managed vendors, and set up the production station responsible for integration of harnessing and other components onto the satellite. I then worked to.

Hawthorne, California, US

As an Avionics ME, I had the following responsibilities for various Falcon and Dragon products:- Perform hands-on engineering/liaison role between harness design team and production organization to implement new designs into the manufacturing phase- Drive production related non-conformances to root cause and disposition them according to manufacturing.

Hawthorne, California, US

As an Avionics Associate Engineer, I accomplished the following: - Fairing Umbilical Harness ME ownership. I was challenged to take ownership of the Fairing Umbilical Harness from the Integration ME team and drive updates to the manufacturing planning and vibration test tooling/supporting equipment. One impact of this effort is a 40% reduction in vibration.

Arlington, VA, US

As a Factory Support Engineering (Liaison/MRB) Intern, I investigated manufacturing issues with the product definition data of the 737 and P-8. In order to accomplish this, I coordinated with various departments to engineer safe solutions to unique non-conformances in a timely manner to facilitate production. During my 12 weeks, I also identified an.

During my 12 weeks at Boeing as a Quality Engineering Intern for the 737 Program in Renton, WA, I successfully completed a project to help improve on the current torque verification methods. Working with Factory Quality and Manufacturing I observed torque applications to learn current shop practices, researched industry alternatives, liaised with suppliers.

Over the summer of 2014 I interned at Airbus in Toulouse, France. There, I assisted with final pre-flight tests that take place at the end of the A380 assembly line. Being a dual citizen between France and the United States as well as fluent in both languages helped make this opportunity possible.During my internship at the A380 Final Assembly Line in.

Why keep this on my profile? Because I love kids! I resonate with their energy, their childlike fascination of everyday objects, and their joie de vivre. I absolutely loved babysitting for multiple French families in the Bellevue, WA area during my last two years of highschool. - 3+ families - children 1.5 to 8 years old- children with special needs
