Successfully lead a team of designers in developing the installation design and integration of fuel system components and transport elements into the Bombardier Global 7000/8000 wing.Developed an Excel spreadsheet to efficiently track the usable, un-usable, and un-drainable wing fuel volumes through several different structural Global wing configurations to provide management with monthly fuel volume change reports.Effectively lead the installation and detail design build packages for Fuel, Hydraulic, & Flight Control brackets for the Cessna Columbus Wing Program. Duties included scheduling, tracking, and managing Build Package status throughout engineering release process. Responsible for the installation design and build package scheduling for the fuel and hydraulics within fuselage sections 47 & 48 for the Boeing 787 program. Directed the installation and design of the low pressure ECS lav/Galley Vent System and Aft Crown Electrical Equipment installation within section 47 for the 787 Program. Both duties required tracking and managing Build Package status through engineering release.Lead Design engineer on the JSF Propulsion Technology Demonstration program, directing the successful detail design, using Unigraphics design tools for a high temperature Organic Matrix Composite Augmentor exhaust duct for Pratt & Whitney Inc. Provided detailed sub-system design expertise within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) on a Proprietary Boeing Program, producing Unigraphic based 3D solid models to support design build teams.Past duties included maintaining fuel system integration and technical coordination with fuel component suppliers to meet Gulfstream’s GV fuel system performance requirements. Including coordinating with the FAA / DER representatives to ensure GV fuel system compliance to FAR part 25 requirements. I prepared fuel system design analysis reports including vent performance, refueling surge pressure, and lightning strike safety.

Tasks included system schematic development, component arrangement, trade study efforts, and contract proposal preparation for the Lockheed - Boeing Team bid for the NAVY AFX CE&D Contract.

I provided engineering support to the sales and marketing staff by preparing technical proposals in response to customer Request for Information (RFI) and Request for Proposal (RFP).

Senior Design Engineer, Bell Helicopter Textron Ft. Worth, TX.. Responsibilities included the design, development, and installation of the V-22 Osprey wing fuel system. Duties also involved the preparation of specification control documents and CAD installation drawings. I also provided critical reviews on technical vendor data, including coordinating technical fuel related issues with NAVAIR.

I aided the development and design of an aluminum low IR. signature exhaust pipe for the Navy C-12 , made cowling modifications for the C-90 program, and participated in the development of the C-300 (modified King Air) fuel system.

I designed and detailed the internal auxiliary fuel tank plumbing systems for the 727 and 747 aircraft programs.

I prepared layouts, sheet metal flat patterns, and detailed production drawings for the F-15 fuel system design group.
