Bellevue, Wa, Us

Senior Project Engineer for electrical component systems on next generation Class 8 BEV truck. Supplier evaluation and system trades on High Voltage Junction Box and auxiliary controls interface connecting 0.9-1.5 MW MCS plug-in port and a 500+ kWh battery stack.

Manaus, Amazonas, Br

Senior Mechanical Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Power and EV Charging SystemsMechanical, Thermal, & EMI Engineer for AC & DC electronic power systems and controllers. Development of cooled enclosures, including sheet-metal and plastic, in large scale projects focused on server and storage applications for major international companies. EV charging systems. SolidWorks.

Engineered structure and systems of a very high-efficiency, 18KW+, magnetically-levitated Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), with a greater than 200KW version in the planning stages. Applications for these VAWT are data centers and business complexes in the U.S., and worldwide. Developed base and servo-motor driven 3-meter ring and spur gear for orienting VAWT external air guides into the wind. Generator, pneumatics, and electronics are environmentally packaged with enclosed connectors/cables for all systems. Airfoils and support structures are advanced materials consisting of aluminum alloy, carbon composite, nano-particle enhanced polymers and closed-cell foam structure with structural inserts for rigidity and low weight.

Abbott Park, Illinois, Us

Developed cast aluminum support structure, and 3-axis robotic servo-motor belt drives for fluidic pipetting and dispensing stations in a high-speed, next generation in-vitro diagnostic instrument. Created 3D models and drawings in SolidWorks. Updated 3D models and drawings for legacy diagnostic analyzers.

SATCOM-On-The Move SystemsDeveloped and refined advanced, next-generation mobile Ka, Ku, and X-Band RF satellite transceivers. Applications for these small-reflector (13 to 30 inch), very fast-tracking, gimbaled servo-motor systems are commercial and defense, ground and air vehicles. Electronics are environmentally packaged up to IP67 with slip-ring and flex interconnection, and sealed connectors/cables for electronics, motors, and RF components. Gimbal support structures and reflectors are Carbon Graphite composite with closed-cell foam structure and Titanium inserts for rigidity and light weight. ANSYS R15 dynamic and thermal analysis of the transceivers. 3D models and drawings in SolidWorks.

Developed high-voltage (15-46kV), high-current fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sensor testing racks with optical fiber bulkheads (SolidWorks 2013) for walk-in thermal chambers. The crystal-based, voltage & current utilities power line sensors had a fiber-optic, intelligent network interface for real-time data smart-grid management.

Lynnwood, Washington, Us

High & Low Voltage AC & DC Electronic Power SystemsMechanical & Thermal Engineer for high & low voltage AC & DC electronic power systems used in applications ranging from commercial to harsh airborne, naval, and weapons environments (wide temperature / altitude range, high shock / vibration / humidity / salt) with MIL-STD-810 and DO-160 qualification requirements.

Bryan, Texas, Us

Free Space Optics - Wireless Broadband (FSO-WB) SystemsCo-developed environmentally-protected, compact, outdoor IR laser Gigabit broadband transceivers, with high precision motorized-gimbal, auto-aligning lens-cells for secure, short (900 meter) and medium range (1.8 kilometer) communications. Systems are used in low-cost, mesh-networked enterprise applications, as well as communications network infrastructure.

C3I Network Integration (Secret Clearance)Engineering group IPT EVMS Lead (schedule & budget accountability) for physical architecture definition, environmentally sealed enclosure design, and integration of secure, high-performance, network-based communications and multi-processor computing systems to be utilized in Future Combat Systems (FCS), as well as new and upgraded air & land combat platforms (FTTS and MBCOTM) for the Army.
