Space and Airborne Systems Mechanical Engineer

Proposed designs to an internal customer to gather feedback and developed a new iteration of the product based on the feedbackDetermined optimal materials to mitigate multi-pass interference by matching the impedance of water by observing the effects of density and surface finish with insertion loss and echo reduction Estimated and proposed a time frame and cost analysis to convert a pond into a test pond to conduct long exposure tests and ROV operations

Developed, manufactured and sourced various brackets that mounted components on the vehicleReviewed and revised the Assembly Process Manual to improve the efficiency and overall quality of the vehicle

Lead design reviews to develop fixtures for turbine blades and vanes as well as welding fixtures and developed cad models, assemblies and drawings based on design review feedbackModeled the internal machine environment of a Huffman laser welder to determine the machine limits and developed fixture design guidelines to avert machine crashingReviewed and revised the internal critical to quality guidelines to increase production by limiting the amount of reworked EDM drilled holes on turbine blades and vane
