Ethan was selected as 1/34 total participants for the 2017 Vega Star Program out of a pool of 280+ of Lockheed Martin Aeronautic's top technical talent. The Vega program is designed to identify young high potential talent and pair them with LM Fellows/SMEs to fast track their technical development.During his time in the Vega Star program Ethan researched metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) and authored a technical white paper. The goal of this paper was to educate the greater workforce of the Aeronautics business unit of AM, identify potential AM applications for F-35 (and other weapons platforms) and lastly to explain the mechanics of qualifying Additive parts for Safety of Flight.Ethan also served as the project and test lead for an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to put the first metal, flight qualified Additive part on the F-35 stealth fighter. Ethan is proud to have accomplished all of this on top of his "day job" as an F-35 Development Project Engineer.
