Chief Engineer’s Office, CH-53K Heavy Lift Replacement (HLR) Helicopter ProgramAdvance into position of increased responsibility to oversee risk mitigation and closure of critical technical deficiencies of varying severity across multiple integrated product teams (IPTs) to support full operational capability (FOC). Report team progress to executive leadership on monthly basis.

Chief Engineer’s Office, CH-53K Heavy Lift Replacement (HLR) Helicopter ProgramOversee multiple tiger teams tasked with addressing technical issues to support Initial Operational Capability (IOC). Served on industry award winning cross-organizational team that design, tested and validated technical solutions for multiple high severity, safety critical propulsion system issues. Coordinated procurement and delivery of all engine integration parts ($3M+) for design validation and low-rate initial production. Support mitigating aircraft on ground (AOG) situations, reducing technical risks and meeting contractual commitments within schedule.

Ground Test IPT, Joint Multi-Role Technical Demonstrator (JMR-TD) and S-97 Raider Helicopter Programs (October 2018 - August 2019)Promoted to conduct full-scale testing of critical composite blades and airframe components in support of flight testing the SB>1 DEFIANT and S-97 Raider. Led test readiness review (TRR) for full-scale airframe test with the customer alongside joint-venture partner (Boeing). Manage crucial do not exceed (DNE) limits list for the flight test program.Ground Test IPT, CH-53K Heavy Lift Replacement (HLR) Helicopter Program (October 2017 - October 2018)Cross-functional technical lead overseeing 12 member team responsible for planning, technical execution, earned value (EV) and project management of $7M+ full-scale static and fatigue airframe tests. Directed test planning and execution of over 11 major full-scale airframe static tests within cost and ahead of schedule.

Ground Test IPT, CH-53K Heavy Lift Replacement (HLR) Helicopter ProgramLead engineer responsible for test support and execution of 14 structural full-scale fatigue tests of dynamic system components in preparation for low-rate initial production (LRIP) and other program milestones. Trained, developed and mentored interns, contractors and engineers new to the organization.

Air Vehicle IPT, HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) ProgramAnalyzed over 150 airframe components including the fuselage, mission equipment, and electronic and propulsion attachments based on legacy rotorcraft on average three (3) days ahead of schedule. Delivered and presented analysis with cross-functional team across four (4) states and five (5) working sites.

Dynamic Systems IPT, Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) Helicopter Program (April 2015 - April 2016)Optimized the design of over 10 dynamic system components including rotor system and transmission components during preliminary and detail design of an innovative rapid prototype program using FEA and hand calculations. Documented and communicated analysis with joint venture partner, Boeing. Dynamic Systems IPT, CH-53K Heavy Lift Replacement (HLR) Helicopter Program (June 2013 - April 2015)Analyzed rotor system components including blade retention and rotor controls in support of Ground and Flight Testing.
