Falcon 9 payload accommodations responsible engineer

Pasadena, California, United States

- Performed engineering analyses and life assessments to certify the safety of gaseous and liquid nitrogen pressure systems per NASA/JPL/ASME standards. Conducted flow calculations, created system drawings, and communicated with system owners to bring pressure vessel and distribution systems to compliance.- Exposed to non-destructive testing methods such as visual testing and penetrant testing of welds; received training for cryogenic safety, cleanrooms, radiation safety, electrostatic discharge control, and critical item handling.

Los Angeles, California, United States

- Designed and fabricated a Taylor-Couette device capable of simulating flow regimes up to a Reynolds number of 4000 for a Trichodesmium bacteria experiment. Programmed an ESP32 microcontroller as a safety measure to detect an overheated motor to cut off power and notify the device users to ensure continuous operation.

Agoura Hills, California, United States

- Conducted reliability testing on PCBs by bend testing and vibration testing using a Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) chamber. Configured programable power supplies and DMMs to log resistance and strain data.- Performed cross-sections on PCBs and viewed samples under a 2500x microscope to look for cracks in solder joints.

Pasadena, California, United States

- Oversaw the design work of 13 subsystems to verify rule compliance; facilitate integration and communication.- Organized preliminary and critical design reviews, headed biweekly mechanical team meetings, and coordinated the design competition effort by providing guidance.- Scored 14th place out of 51 competing teams and improved 50% over the highest score the team has received.

Pasadena, California, United States

- Utilized Solidworks to design the chassis and integrate subsystems, optimized torsional rigidity using FEA, and fabricated the chassis using vendors.- Lead and mentored a team of 6 members and assigned tasks in major areas of chassis design.

Pasadena, California, United States (Online)

- Reduce near-infrared images of Jupiter to support observations taken by the Juno spacecraft.- Assess the rising near-infrared reflectance of Jupiter’s Equatorial Zone to work on the connection between the chemistry and physics of Jupiter’s atmosphere.

Arizona State University (Online)

- Responded to a NASA technology solicitation and coauthored a 7 page proposal.- Participated in a review panel and learned to objectively score proposals.

Arizona State University (Online)

- Coauthored a mission concept preliminary design review for an Enceladus lander and decided on a scientific objective.- Used the JMARS mission planning tool to select a landing site.

Pasadena, California, United States

- Completed a 5-week course on learning about the technologies at NASA and designed a Mars exploration rover using Solidworks resulting in an overall A.- Selected from a group of 500 applicants to participate in an onsite experience at JPL.- Served as the Operations Engineer in a rover mission competition and created a rotations guidance map resulting in a 100 percent accuracy rate at retrieving rocks.
