Performing part-time contract work in aerospace industryCurrent/past subjects: - Engineering tool development (Python) - Launch Vehicle Vibration and ShockCurrent client: Relativity SpacePast client: Virgin Orbit

- Traveled to parts of Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania

* Switched to a hardware role at SpaceX* Responsible Engineer for an assembly inside the hypergolic propellant tanks that feed the SuperDraco abort engines* Design/manufacture of assembly includes intricate sheet metal and machined parts, electron beam and laser welds as well as fasteners; all with material compatibility concerns * Regularly perform propellant slosh simulations (star-ccm+), dynamic and structural analysis (ansys), and any other analysis needed for the design of my assembly

Supervised technical work in a group of 10-20 engineers

• Perform shock, vibration, and acoustic analysis of launch vehicles and spacecraft• Solve loads and environments problems (including isolation system design)• Run full-scale and component-level tests (includes dynamic instrumentation for engine hot-fire, acoustic, vibration, and separation tests)• Signal processing and analysis software development

• Led a team designing a terrestrial heat source for the calibration of space-based infrared sensors.• Implemented the optical ray trace and thermal analyses that determined the reflector design.• Designed and fabricated the custom components needed for integrating the prototype’s subsystems.

• Worked on a small team developing a rugged, ultra-portable Ka-band satellite terminal.• Developed thermal solutions for the electronics enclosures and verified designs with fluid dynamics software.• Designed elevation and azimuth adjustment mechanisms and modeled the concept in SolidWorks.• Prepared proposal and patent documents for the new product.

• Calibrated and/or repaired an average of 5 different sensors per week. • Integrated accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure transducers with signal conditioners and indicators.• Prepared instrumentation systems for structural and flight tests.
