Thermal Engineer Ii (International Space Station)
Current• Performed thermal analysis tasks utilizing both Thermal Desktop and TRASYS/SINDA to post-process results, and generate data for delivery. Presented thermal analysis results, and provided recommendations in order for NASA to make informed decisions concerning the ISS.• Lead development of the ISS Thermal Data Analyzer software tool to optimize the time analysts spent post-processing, and reviewing analysis results. Verified accuracy of the tool by utilizing Python to perform independent software tests, and showcased project status updates to upper management at monthly ISS Strategy meetings.• Created scripts in Linux/BASH to run large batches of TRASYS/SINDA cases for steady-state, and transient analysis tasks. These scripts expedited the process of running cases, and post-processing/verifying large amounts of data for quick turnarounds on presenting/delivering analysis results.• Updated existing Daily Scan MATLAB script to improve accuracy of the TWMV Dewpoint calculation. Provide ongoing oversight and change management of the PTCS Daily Scan including script maintenance and providing updates as needed.
