Responsible for evaluating design and product lifecycle of onshore wind turbines against Human Factors, Safety, and Ergonomic requirements to ensure potential personnel and environmental hazards are mitigated to a safe level. Safety: Accident Scenario Reviews (ASR) for future wind farm locations, standard values for Human Error blocks in ASR chains, Functional Safety requirements, proactive safety reviews (HazOps, NPI tollgate)Human Factors: facilitate Human Reliability Analysis (e.g. HEART), create Human Factors Design Practice, conduct EHS and Human Factors review of NPI, promote the discipline through case studies, office hours and awareness sessions, apply Human Factors best practice to technical communications to the field.Ergonomics: improve considerations and assessments related to ergonomics in installation and maintenance of our wind turbines, coordinate with EHS on Level C events to establish and quantify any ergonomic risks/mitigations, apply learnings from Gemba Walks with FieldCore Additionally, support the reduction of assembly, installation and maintenance errors on our onshore and offshore wind turbines - contributing to the design and development of products, solutions, and systems.

Improve GE Renewable Energy (GERE) Human Factors design practices and processes to enhance onshore wind products. Cross-train GERE Human Factors Engineer and other team members in Human Factors.Focus on Controls & Operability, perform gap analysis, technical assessments, and provide reportof recommendations.Coordinate assessments and recommendations with internal programs and external agencies.

Focus on methods to reduce opportunities for error in assembly and maintenance across commercial and military engine operations. Apply learnings to the creation of the first Human Factors Design Process Template (DPT) and participate in all related design process activities. Leverage experience and knowledge of HFE discipline, human error probability, and other business operations to further reduce error and waste.Fulfill the role of a Controlled Title Holder (CTH) as defined in the GE Aviation Engineering Handbook, including but not limited to staying current in the state of Human Factors Engineering, supporting other business functions and internal/external customers. Make recommendations and design guidance based on all available data, established analysis techniques and process knowledge to eliminate and/or mitigate error (and opportunities for error).

Recently completed my Master’s degree in Human Factors Engineering with a Systems Engineering concentration. Thesis: Error Relationships and Probabilities in Assembly and Maintenance of Aircraft Engines. Human Factors (HF) focal for CFM56, LEAP and HF120 engine programs; introducing our HF tools and practices where appropriate to mitigate and prevent future process errors. Engaged the Digital team to stay lean and go fast creating an “app” that expands our HF analysis capabilities and automates an otherwise manual analysis of reclaiming 100+ hours of applied engineering, annually. Training and customer engagement included the creation and delivery of the SDF & PPE HF modules. A mixture of in-person and remote training was delivered multiple regions of customers including LEAP maintenance error readiness training engaging 150+ customer employee (mechanics, maintenance supervisors, quality focals). Surveys issued before and after training show measurable improvement in understanding of the subject matter and human error related field events or lack thereof is a tangential measure of training impact. Continue to empower and inspire HF colleagues through the companywide HF roundtable, sharing tools and methods across the businesses.

• Started monthly Human Factors Roundtable meeting across GE Business bringing together 30+ professionals in Usability, Human Factors, Research and EHS. Meetings include new business, main topical items (selected by all participants) such as data/analytics, policies & procedures, team structures, goals & special projects.• Introduced human error and maintenance error field data to Engineering documents such as Design Practices to ensure new product designs account for and mitigate current challenges.• Established collaborative partnership with our Customer Technical Education Center (CTEC) in order to better understand maintenance challenges, norms and customer outreach strategies• Applied statistical rigor to field data to identify trends and test maintenance error hypothesis related to engine cycles, engine position and variance of maintenance error events from year to year over (over the past four years).• Including our customer’s Human Factors professionals in investigations and solution development to share ideas, strategy and understanding of our respective operating environments

Lead Human Factors initiatives in Commercial Flight Safety integrating science, theory, and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding and preventing human error in engine maintenance, processing/assembly, and design.
