Peebles, Oh

Led teams of mechanics, instrumentation technicians, and console technicians through final engine assembly, test setup, hardware inspections, and test execution for commercial aviation engine ground testing. Tests have included certification and engineering testing such as vibration endurance, endurance cycles, test cell correlation, thrust reverser correlation, bird ingestion, fan blade out, hail storm ingestion, hail stone ingestion, fuel nozzle coking cycles, fireX demo, extended twin operations (ETOPS), initial maintenance inspection (IMI), and thrust response. Engine programs worked on include GE9X, LEAP-1A, LEAP-1B, LEAP-1C, Passport20, and CF34.Develop detailed work instructions, troubleshoot data acquisition system issues, process non-conforming hardware, guide test site personnel through test execution, conduct found & lost object investigations, and act as the focal point at test cell between off-site engineering team and test site personnel. Work with quality, assembly planning, performance, evaluation engineering, systems engineering, hardware owners, test cell owners, and test enabling hardware engineers to ensure that tests remain on schedule, hardware & instrumentation needs are met, and quality test data is acquired.

Simulation Center

Developed and validated finite element modeling techniques for simulating the behavior of cohesive bonds using Abaqus and LS-DYNA.

Primary responsibility was the grading of student assignments and examinations for a SolidWorks modeling laboratory course and a kinematic lecture course. For the laboratory course, aided students in developing their capabilities using the software.

West Chester, Oh

Led team investigations into field events causing service outages of GE aeroderivative gas turbines including defining investigative scope and requirements, analyzing field, shop, and laboratory findings, establishing analysis conclusions, and providing written investigative reports and recommendations to GE and their customers.Served as focal person for the Belcan team of field event investigations by developing best practices, managing case load, and overseeing communication with GE.Provided systems level engineering support for marine and industrial gas turbine programs related to service procedures and system improvements.
