* Contributed as part of the Flight Controls and Aerodynamics groups; supported UAV design effort* Utilized and modified existing Simulink simulations of the UAV and mission segments; gathered and analyzed vehicle performance data used in design studies, internal and subcontractor subsystem requirement definitions* Designed and implemented FORTRAN subroutines; integrated with existing analytical tools to include Monte Carlo performance analysis that contributed to vehicle and control-law design evaluation* Assisted in low-speed wind tunnel tests; gathered data and improved Tecplot data visualization methods

Bethesda, Md, Us

* Worked as part of the Flight Controls group; supported UAV design effort* Utilized and modified existing Simulink simulations of the UAV and mission segments; gathered and analyzed vehicle performance data that contributed to evaluating vehicle design, tuning control laws, and defining subsystem requirements for internal use and subcontractor communication* Pursued opportunity and assisted with carbon-fiber layup and cure preparation that produced composite sandwich test coupons later subjected to impact testing to compare results with analytical models

Bethesda, Md, Us

* Worked as part of the Flight Controls and Simulation groups; supported internal and research projects* Contributed to in-house auto-code generation procedures intended to extend portability of simulations created in Simulink for use in system design evaluation* Contributed to design/production of research vehicle; designed testing rig that was manufactured and used to test subcontractor equipment; results invalidated initial equipment specifications and verified replacements

Bethesda, Md, Us

* Worked as part of the Conceptual Design and Embedded Software groups;* Developed technical skills in CATIA, design-phase aerodynamic and aircraft sizing analysis, and applied these skills to contribute to design efforts on existing and concept aircraft* Worked on fast-paced hardware program modifying existing aircraft, flown today in-theater; contributed to setup of hardware in Software Integration Lab (SIL) and assisted with troubleshooting hardware and software; assisted review and testing of Simulink-designed control process and verified subset of requirements met; contributed to equipment purchase through vendor interaction
