- Led testing and R&D efforts from planning to execution, to deliver test strategies to DOD customers.- Modeled Thermal, Radiation, and Electromagnetic Pulse effects on various test articles via in-house (TASL/DAKOTA) and industry (openFoam/Ansys Fluent) modeling tools; as well as validated those models by experimentation and live testing using IR, Thermocouple, pyrometer, Flux gauges, and Dosimeters.- Performed systems engineering testing include but not limited to hardware/software integration and requirement verification to assess thermal, radiation, and electromagnetic hardness of various materials and avionics.- Managed vendor & supplier relationships, involving contract negotiation and managing purchase orders to ensure timely delivery of materials and equipment while optimizing costs.- Responsible for tracking project progress, technical reports, summarizing findings and providing recommendations for design modifications and performance enhancements to DOD customers.

- Performed Modeling, Simulation, Test and Evaluation on priority aircraft systems in support of AFNWC.- Evaluated experimental design and test execution on aircraft components and materials stack ups, subjected to various environmental and nuclear stressors and conditions. - Used FLIR products and software to collect IR thermal test data and NI DAQs and LabView software to collect thermocouple and pyrometer test data.- Created and maintained analysis tools written with Python, processing real time and post test Thermal and Radiation data. As well as integrating legacy code (FORTRAN) on Windows and Linux platforms in applied settings. - Worked with and provided technical input for multi-disciplined teams that included members from: Air Force Research Labs (KAFB), Sandia National Labs, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), and U.S. Air Force personnel in experimental and simulated environments.

- Primarily assisted onsite and offsite management in the following: Contract and Project initiation in PMIS, Preparation of bid packages, Project permit process, Material procurement, Meeting minutes, Scheduling, Budgeting, Submittal and RFI tracking, and Project close-out- Assisted in the review of mechanical system designs (HVAC) and calculations from engineering subcontractors.

As a member of the Aerostructure design team, focused on designing and analyzing performance of detachable/controllable booms and deployable landing gear through the use of SolidWorks and CFD modelling. Collaborated with SICdrone engineers, business development, and customer support to incorporate customer feedback and feature requests into SICdrone’s product development cycle.

Worked under Project Manager/Engineer, reviewing submittals, Request for Information/Interpretation (RFI), and conducting quality assurance pertaining to construction work at the NSA headquarters and Fort Meade.Roles and Responsibilities:Planning and Defining Scope, Activity Planning and Sequencing/scheduling, Resource Planning, Time/Cost Estimating, QA/QC oversight, Documentation, Risk Analysis, Monitoring and Reporting Progress, and coordination with Vendors and Sub-contractors.
