• Identified risks during vehicle hardware design, build, and launch operations at Vandenberg launch site.• Ensured reliability of payloads and fairings at SpaceX.• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to fix issues and optimize launch processes.

Identified deficiencies in design early in development to avoid cost with tooling changes, containment, in-house repair, warranty, and unplanned mass production. Highlighted sources of engineering risk, lead proactive evidence-based approach to manufacturing. Created various finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamic projects, and Teamcenter VisVSA simulations to confirm if products can achieve specifications or determine where they could fail based on FMEA and root cause analysis. Created and delivered over 130+ studies on over 20+ different models•Delivered over $1.9M in cost savings, avoidances in quality rejects, design/material optimization, rework, phosphate loss, mass production tooling and design changes, etc.•Developed 23’ MDX dashboard center display model to test load applications before physical test. Material choice was optimized & excess material removed. •Developed 23' CRV roof FEA model that confirmed design was susceptible to roof deforms in white body build process & analyzed new roof design. •Developed & led studies with various North America design departments and production locations on steel, plastics, cast, and electrical products & equipment•Created Teamcenter VisVSA simulations to analyze product lifecycle quality from single part to full chassis•Lead The Ohio State University Engineering capstone project on oven thermal analysis

Took ownership of 4th generation Acura MDX door electrical harness designs. Worked closely with customer and production on design reviews at various levels. Collaborated between customers and production on status of projects, schedules, delays, and countermeasure activity. Completed FMEA activity on prototype designs. Developed clear and precise designs for production to utilize. Verified production products and customer designs adhere to specifications.• Performed root cause analysis & activity on 19’ RDX door grommet issue and supported countermeasure activity• Established VA/VE investigation on electrical coupler which saved company production costs

Led quality up countermeasures in a fast-paced mass production environment. Implemented cost savings of $200k+ in first job by resolving 17’ Accord engine install pitch concern for customer and pushed for additional quality checks on part verification. Led quality investigations on inspection fixtures, weld equipment, weld robots, in-house processes, supplier processes and products. Completed Catia V5 training. • Worked closely with suppliers and customers to optimize their processes and quality costs• Evaluated and improved accuracy of new model weld equipment by utilizing 3D printing methods on 16’ Civic• Fabricated inspection fixture for complex problem analysis on 16’ Accord• Developed Polyworks automated inspection process programs for accuracy and repeatability specific to weld lines and models being produced• Worked on RSS tolerance stack analysis and complex VisVSA Teamcenter investigations utilizing ASME Y14.5 2009 GD&T
