Defense Guidance and Navigation New Product Development

- Space actuation systems: Lead Mechanical Engineer for Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) control and power electronics assemblies (PEA/CEA) for a $1.5 million air force defense satellite program- Managed a team of 4 technicians through production and acceptance testing of PEA/CEAs and CMGs at subassembly and end-item levels- Directed qualification test campaign of PEA and CEA engineering design units on a critical schedule path

Bubble Assignment- Lead controller engineer for Airbus A350XWB Electrical Heating System (EHS) and Ventilation Control System (VCS) - Managed international VCS and EHS controller component suppliers- Supervised schedule, cost, and technical compliance to Airbus software and controller requirements

- Space actuation systems: Reaction Wheel Assembly (RWA) Mechanical Engineer for various commercial and government satellite programs. - Performed mechanical analyses (thermal, structural, mass properties, rotor sizing, etc.)- Generated test malfunction reports, developed test procedures and interface control documents, evaluated customer specifications and compliance matrices- Directed RWA environmental testing (thermal cycle/vacuum, vibration, induced vibration, shock, EMI)- Torque Disturbance Testing: Developed a novel testing and analysis method to characterize small drag torque variations (on the order of 1mNm) to improve resolution of satellite imagery - Bearing Signature Project: Directed migration of a test to characterize the health of RWA bearings from analog to digital data. Purchased capital test equipment and created Matlab scripts to immediately process and analyze data - RWA Capital Project: Managed a $200,000 capital equipment acquisition project to reduce wait time of evaluating circuit card assembly (CCA) test malfunctions by 30%

- Full-time engineering intern- Assisted foundry engineers with corrective action to improve the manufacturing process of precision magnesium and aluminum aerospace castings, revising engineering techniques, compiling and analyzing chemical composition data for sand castings- Rendered Solidworks models of castings, data extraction and analysis, implemented corrective actions, optimized of engineering techniques- Chill project: Responsible for major investment project of categorization and organization of metal plates (chills) to control the solidification structure of the metal casting and creation of engineering techniques to use chills
