Customer contracted Boeing for Preliminary Design Review (PDR) phase of the program due to satisfaction with trade study results that included the engineering for this system.• Anticipated Customer needs by collaborating with Boeing Interiors engineering team to define locations for electronic cabinets that would meet the system requirements while providing more storage and increased accessibility for the USAF Maintainers.• Worked closely with OEM and Customer during Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs), Video Teleconferences (VTCs) , and Interface Control Working Group (ICWG) meetings to provide status, clarify requirements, and resolve issues.

Lead of structural/mechanical design engineering team responsible for developing the reference structure for Area 12 and other Areas of the E-4B aircraft in support of the LFTS program. Communicated with program management and engineering management to status team technical and financial progress and issues. Collaborated with the Customer, program management, supplier management, contracts, finance, and various engineering functional groups to deliver the best design solution to the Customer on schedule and within budget. Selected Projects and Achievements:• Lead a team of structural/mechanical design engineers to complete Area 12 detail, assembly, and installation drawings before Critical Design Review (CDR) by communicating with Systems Engineering to understand Customer requirements and flowing them to the team, • Assessed team engineers’ design experience and assigned tasks appropriate to their development level and mentored them through more challenging tasks when needed. Reviewed teams’ engineering products to ensure Non-Recurring Product Definition (NRPD) review requirements were met.• Partnered for success with San Antonio engineering and planning by clarifying tooling and legacy parts removal requirements, and limitations of cargo door size and floor structure, enabling an adjustment of the initial design concept. • Identified and captured synergies with Boeing Commercial Aircraft (BCA); solving problems with technical data research on an electrical outlet pigtail and determining rework limits on honeycomb composite panels, reducing design, research, drawing change, and/or redesign costs to the Customer. • Mentored mechanical design intern by developing her summer project guidelines, supervising her work, and assisting her through challenges. Approved the final design to be presented to the NRPD team. Guided her through the requirements of the NRPD process resulting in final approval of the design.

Core member of a team accountable for providing structural/design support to engineering projects supporting sustainment and modification of ETS&S portfolio platforms. Selected Projects and Achievements:• Effectively teamed with San Antonio Operations and Quality Assurance providing onsite, ship-side support during Heavy Maintenance in San Antonio, TX; interpreting VIP 747 insulation blanket installation drawings, dispositioning non-conformances, providing red-lines for drawing corrections, and assisting in resolving emergent issues in support of the VIP 747 Insulation Blanket Modification. • Provided design engineering support to the VIP 747 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) by creating and releasing parts drawings and by modifying an existing model of the main instrument panel to allow delivery of the model to a non-US supplier in accordance with Export Control requirements.• Researched historical structural repairs, compared existing repairs to the baseline repairs, and provided results of the analysis to the systems engineering team in support of the E-4B Repair Assessment Program (RAP). • Served as the design engineering focal for Ft Walton Beach design engineers; providing training on CMPro, ENOVIA, CATIA, WiseImage, and on the Boeing standards and processes necessary for Drawing Quality Assurance (DQA) approval.• Mentored new engineers to Boeing and to existing team and portfolio engineers through knowledge transfer of drawing and data systems, configuration management principles and processes, design best practices, functional group responsibilities and points of contact (POCs). Created tip-sheets for engineers using CATIA, WiseImage and bringing high accuracy scans of drawings into CATIA and building reference geometry.

Developed, maintained and modified KC-135 payload system and component designs, using CATIA, to provide product definition to other engineering groups, suppliers and external customers throughout the product lifecycle. Validated and verified systems and components met requirements and specifications. Responsible for legacy drawing modification through the release of Advanced Drawing Change Notices (ADCNs) and Drawing Change Notices (DCNs).Selected Projects and Achievements:• Focal for KC-135 design Engineering Assignments (EA), responsible for developing schedule and SOW compliance matrix, maintaining spend plans, and reviewing status biweekly with the customer. Lead of an EA requesting proposed solutions to bring fuel bladder cavities into compliance with military specifications for drainage closed on-time and under budget. Customer currently considering implementing proposed design solution. • Developed a gauged data model of the KC-135 inboard aileron using aircraft drawings. Verified CATIA model against scanned aileron data revealing a deviation from the engineering definition in the scanned data. Model released in ENOVIA and CMPro and delivered to the supplier to allow them to design the tooling to assemble the inboard ailerons.• Developed the CATIA model of the center wing tank envelopes. Verified drawing details against digital scans of the aircraft. • Completed dynamic analysis of the KC-135 main one wing tanks using P445 Transient Fuel Height program to determine the minimum fuel levels that would prevent the pump inlets from being uncovered at various pitches and flight conditions. • Completed static analysis of the KC-135 forward body tanks using P187 program to determine the minimum required fuel level at various pitches that would prevent the pump inlets from being uncovered. Final data was submitted to the government as part of a Request for Technical Inquiry deliverable.
