Incorporated multiple process improvements for piece part production process that led to a fleet savings of ~$183,500→ Worked to coordinate internal tasks to external businesses→ Actively supported all shop floor engineering requests→ Coordinated design changes for increased manufacturability such as larger tolerance bands→ Implemented vertical inspections to minimize inspection-induced part variations Designed over 5 unique tools to support the production team with impacts including labor hours saved through increased efficiency (one project saved ~40 hours per build), increased technician safety, and increased build qualityIncreased vehicle reusability, robustness, and safety through design and completion of multiple testing campaigns

See most recent SpaceX experience.

Organized, led, and supported a team of 15 through the design, analysis and manufacturing of all mechanical systems accounting for over 60% of all vehicle systemsManaged the production and integration of all systems, driving the vehicle to completion in under 7 months with a build budget ~5X less than other competitors → Orchestrated inter-team communication to allow for a cohesive design and build→ Mentored over 25 students on hands-on-engineering, increasing available labor pool for build→ Supervised design and build to ensure components were built correctly minimizing rework time and potential error

Incorporated design and modeling of individual client plans using standardized part models and geometric constraints allowing for more efficient final builds saving technician labor hours and decreasing excess product consumption Collaborated with the production manager to optimize the production floor leading to decreased part rejection and increased production rate all with a lowered labor hour per part rate Managed office operations including onboarding a bookkeeper, created office paperwork management systems, implemented customer management systems, cloud document storage services, shop floor management systems and much more

Designed a technician safety gate that completed the design of a fully collapsible work platform saving vital warehouse space Revamped multiple models and drawings in Siemens NX 8.0 to meet updated specifications reflecting the company wide use of modeling constraints

Coached approximately 5 students per workday regarding methods to increase job marketability and career planningOrganized and delivered outreach presentations to student groups, and referred students to appropriate personnel and resourcesCounseled university students through critique and development of professional documents such as resumes, cover letters and personal statements and conducted mock interviews

Automated production tracking programs in Microsoft Excel using Visual Basic for Applications resulting in an average of 3-5 employee hours saved per week over the life of the Centaur fleetCoordinated multi group implementation of production tracking programs throughout the factory with engineering time savings of at least 10-15 hours per week over the life of multiple product linesAssisted in the design of a Pneumatic Test Panel in Siemens NX 8.0 by modeling all major components of test panel that allowed for the elimination of outdated equipment resulting in increased efficiency and safety of the Delta IV Test Center

Supported around 10 procurement staff and engineers by participating in multiple teleconferences representing the SM&P team, presided over weekly staff meetings, and acted as a delegate between the factory, launch site, and the procurement teamDeveloped a program in Microsoft Excel using Visual Basic for Applications to track multiple stages of contract maturity, allowing managers to efficiently drive down fulfillment of unpaid contractsInitiated cross-platform development of the contract tracking program to allow for its use in multiple groups within ULA by coordinating with leads from other procurement groups to set up the program for each specific application

Remedied mechanical, electrical, and communication errors efficiently under extreme time constraintsSet-up and operated equipment worth between $2,500-$5,000Directed successful multi-thousand dollar events for high end clienteleManaged all entertainment aspects of events with an average of 100 guests
