Perform structural analysis on complex motion control mechanisms such as actuators, solar array drive assemblies, biaxial gimbals, custom mechanisms and control electronics. Structural analysis includes Quasi-Static, Random Vibe, Shock, Sine-Vibe as well as additional checks such as fastener analysis, fatigue and fracture analysis. As a design engineer I have focused on creating proposals for custom solar array drive assemblies (SADA), and supporting the development and production of current SADA programs.

Longmont, Colorado, United States

Perform structural analysis on Honeybee Robotics Framed Motor product line, Motion Control mechanisms and Avionics box designs. Basic mechanical principles used in conjunction with ANSYS Mechanical to perform Quasi-Static, Random Vibration, Shock and Sine-Vibe Analysis on complex assemblies. Thermal analysis also performed on Avionic boxes using ANSYS Mechanical.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Internship focusing on reducing solve time for thermal analysis on complex electronic boards using MATLAB, APDL, Altium and ANSYS Mechanical. Helped reduce solve time by 67% through custom Matlab code that converted gerber file information from Altium and created a simplified geometry with local in/out of plane conductivity material information based on board layer stackup.
