Crew Operations: I make sure a number of critical integrated Crew operations are properly reviewed and approved by the NASA Commercial Crew program. - Emergency Egress System: Primary SpaceX interface for Emergency Egress system verification and training activities at launch pad 39A. Successfully planned and executed an end-to-end demonstration of the system involving multiple teams across both SpaceX and NASA. This required preparing all of the associated test readiness and safety reviews leading up to the demonstration. -Crew Dry Dress: Responsible for preparing any associated test readiness reviews and hazard analysis documentation leading up to the Crew Dry Dress operation, which is a high fidelity launch dress rehearsal in the days leading up to a Crewed launch. Launch Site Certification: I make sure all launch and ground certification activities are complete prior to launch. - Primary focal for all NASA Commercial Crew and Air Force certification activities and deliverables as they concern Launch Operations and Ground Systems Engineering. This involves providing a comprehensive overview of all launch site activities including insight into our change process, configuration management, emerging issues, hardware integration status, launch schedule, and certification deliverables status.Range Safety: I make sure we are compliant to all Range Safety requirements for Dragon Ground Operations and F9 Payloads ground processing. - Significantly improved Dragon Ground Operations Range Safety approval workflow by authoring a number of memos approved by the 45th Space Wing to streamline the review process. Responsible for closure of a number of key Range Safety approvals including the Ground Operations Plan, the Missile System Prelaunch Safety Package, and all AFSPCMAN 91-710 compliance documents for multiple engineering disciplines including GSE, Spacecraft, Environmental Control and Life Support, Avionics, and many more.

ITEP High Pressure Compressor Mechanical DesignOwned all variable stator vane actuation components, compressor case, and bolted joint designs in the ITEP high pressure compressor group for various compressor demonstrator rigs and test engines.

Cincinnati, Oh, Us

Design Engineer - ITEP Variable Stator Vanes System (June 2013 – June 2015)• Responsible for driving all VSV hardware through critical design reviews and issuing all corresponding drawings. • Collaborated closely with manufacturing, drafting, and analysis groups to create a successful design the can withstand increased temperatures, pressures, and loads in the compressor.• Coordinated test design to fit multiple configurations and future products.Design Engineer - Legacy Turbo-Shaft Turbo-Prop Variable Geometry (June 2012 - June 2013)• Redesigned the CT7-8 VG linkage assembly by reducing part count, weight, and complexity. The re-designed parts are easier and faster to assemble and reduce errors during the assembly process. • Increased durability of parts prone to corrosion due to their proximity to exhaust pipes.• Provided ongoing mechanical design support for all VG components including actuation rings, lever arms, torque shafts, and variable vanes.

Cincinnati, Oh, Us

• Completed statistical and analytical models to substantiate the elimination of hand benching for the CT7-8 Stage Two compressor variable vanes. Optimized vane-case clearance by changing two primary drawing characteristics. Compiled and summarized all relevant data, documents, and analyses to present at a Technical Review. • Developed a tracking tool that defined the status of open Material Review Board (MRB) currently held with engineering. The tool worked with the Support Central web center to provide valuable metrics that were used by sub-section managers and several other members in the Product Engineering Center to gauge MRB prioritization, completion rates, and efficiency standards. • Provided continuous support on a number of other projects including a CFE738 disk-post investigation and GE90 Vane Sector data reduction.

Cincinnati, Oh, Us

• Developed a plan for testing of a re-designed output shaft oil scoop, which included analysis of various test rigs and test materials to be used, cost analysis, and preparation of an executive summary. Worked closely with the Component Test Lab and the re-design team. • Completed a Priority Part Review Audit (PPR) for the T700 Stage one Blade-Disk, which required auditing engineering drawings, comparing them to Quality Operating Data (QOD), and verifying adequate manufacturing and inspection methods on the floor. • Worked on 3D and 2D structural analysis for non-symmetric parts on ANSYS for the CT7-2E1 engine.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Us

• Implemented 5S standards in the Outbound Inspection and Outbound Certification sections. Essential changes included defining standard work processes, re-arranging work stations based on product flow, and eliminating unnecessary tools. • Conducted time-studies that analyzed work traffic by time of day, worker efficiency and speed, and overall section working capacity. Results were used to gauge optimal employee shift distribution, determine weekly patterns in throughput, and identify key contributors of defective orders.

Chicago, Il, Us

• Responsible for creating, populating, and developing a database for in-service drill parts on Microsoft Access and Excel for the Off-Highway Vehicle Department. Developed a new and robust program using VBA and SQL programming that solved previous functionality issues and implemented additional capabilities. • Created a system of forms, tables, and reports to facilitate the process of receiving, processing, and storing warranty claims on Microsoft Access. • Designed presentation material using failed part statistics and figures for the past year. • Participated in a series of workshops and training sessions for Lean Six Sigma implementation methods
