About Brandi Stevens

I am an Vehicle Systems engineer with Bell Flight, specializing in Fuel and Environmental Control Systems. I manage supplier contracts worth $3M for rotorcraft fuel cells, the fuel gaging subsystem, and other fuel components such as pumps, valves, and sensors. I work closely with management and suppliers to remediate timeline challenges and coordinated delivery delays with broader build team to mitigate program delays as Bell builds the Bell 360 Invictus FARA prototype helicopter. I use Siemens Amesim to analyze fuel system fluid dynamics to size the refueling, defueling, and fuel transfer subsystems and guarantee fuel system performance. I summarize these findings in airworthiness certification reports to gain an airworthiness certification for this prototype program. I support manufacturing and testing as the on-site fuel specialist during system build and installation, redlining engineering changes and leading supplier communication to solve build problems.I have had exposure to manufacturing in a factory, a prototype lab, a paper mill, and an aircraft hangar. I have been involved with nanotechnology research, additive manufacturing, design reviews, and trade studies throughout various internships and co-op rotations.At The Spaceship Company, I've designed aircraft pneumatic and hydraulic fluid systems, solved manufacturing issues, coordinated among multiple groups to ensure the manufacturability of parts, contributed to substantial weight savings, and ensured the on-time installation of aircraft systems to meet build schedules.I look forward to new challenges and applying my design and manufacturing experiences in the aerospace field. I enjoy public speaking, problem-solving, sports, and puzzles, and am pursuing my private pilot's license.

  • The Spaceship Company
    Associate Systems Design Engineer
    The Spaceship Company Jan 2018 - Jul 2019
    Mojave, Ca, Us
    As a systems design engineer for The Spaceship Company, I have designed ten aircraft pneumatic and hydraulic systems’ layouts and supporting structures for a commercial space vehicle. These systems included the reaction control system, landing gear pnuematics, brake lines, bleed air, and environmental control systems. Due to the small size and mobility of TSC, I witnessed the entire design process: concept, detail Catia design, engineering change orders, engineering definition release, manufacture, and installation of systems into our next two spaceships. This was a rewarding experience to see the whole process in work in a little over one year. I have worked with metallics and composites, incorporating geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and specifying ply layup, orientation, and tool creation.As part of the engineering support team, I resolved manufacturing issues by redlining drawings to ensure the on-time installation of systems. I recommended dispositions for nonconformances to expedite critical path processes, and released engineering revisions to maintain an aggressive build schedule. In addition to my efforts to design and build Virgin Galactic's next two spaceships, I also worked through developing documentation for the current vehicle in flight test. This documentation included acceptance test procedures, intergrated vehicle ground testing, verification and validation plans, and component qualification testing.It is inspiring to work on such an exciting program, to open new frontiers, and reach our common goal of making dreams take flight.
  • University Of Dayton
    Flight Simulator Technician
    University Of Dayton Jan 2016 - Dec 2017
    Dayton, Oh, Us
    • Operated the university’s flight simulator for students, classes, and special groups• Utilized aerospace design principles, technical troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills to model existing and new airplanes in the simulator
  • Inteva Products
    Paint And Adhesives Engineering Intern
    Inteva Products May 2017 - Aug 2017
    Troy, Mi, Us
    As part of the paint and adhesive engineering group within Inteva Products, I worked on multiple programs. By establishing a spreadsheet to quote the costs and amount of equipment required for seven different adhesive application methods, I was able to help the team estimate costs and pick an appropriate adhesive application method for new programs. I also administered a feasibility study through roll coating trials on a new adhesive for a 400-million-dollar project.
  • Inteva Products
    Program Manager Intern
    Inteva Products May 2017 - Aug 2017
    Troy, Mi, Us
    What really attracts me to program management is the flexibility it offers to dive into various parts of a project. In addition to overseeing the development of a project's timeline, budget and progress across all functional groups, a program manager can get as technical as the engineering team. Working as a program manager this summer allowed to be gain a good understanding of technical processes such as plastic injection molding, cast skin molding, and product design engineering. I also acquired the skills needed to successfully drive a diverse team to rectify a late project and deliver equipment to the plant on time and on budget. By utilizing Microsoft Project, I set up a timing chart for a new six million dollar project, and established an open issues tracker to identify and keep track of potential and current issues. I lead, assisted, and solved problems with the product development team. In one example, I executed a torque screw engineering study to assist the product development team with prototype builds. This study involved interfacing with the torque drivers' supplier, running trials on prototype parts at different torque settings, and monitoring the parts for any quality issues associated with changing the torque settings. I find program management to be an exciting field, because of the interactions between the product development team, various functional groups, a myriad of supplies, and our valued customers.

    As an intern, I rotated through multiple departments, learning the papermaking process with the goal of improving the efficiency and reducing waste. I also participated and organized some projects throughout the internship. I was introduced to manufacturing excellence tools such as data analysis, centerlining, 5S, and continuous improvement.In my first rotation, I was exposed to the EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) department. This introduced me to many pulp and paper industry specific and general OSHA regulations. On the environmental side, I was advised on permitted limits, and worked on a movement to record all lithium batteries mill-wide for proper disposal. I rotated next through the electrical reliability department, learning about industrial electrical power distribution, motors, generators, and motor control centers. My work here dealt with reading P&IDs, electrical single lines, and electrical block diagrams, as well as participating in functional trip checks and breaker cleaning during an outage. I worked in a group to develop a presentation and present NFPA 70E electrical safety guidelines to multiple classes of electricians.While rotating through the paper machines department, I divided my time between learning the process and working on several projects. I helped to develop an improved procedure for lab testing, as well as analyze data to find centerlines and trends used to improve paper machine performance.Overall, I worked with my supervisors to develop an understanding for the entire process, worked with my peers on many projects, and expanded my confidence in business, engineering, and manufacturing.
