- Responsible for mechanical engineering support of oxidant tank production for the MK-50 torpedo propulsion system.- Performed stress and dimensional analyses to formulate solutions of product deficiencies.- Conducted failure analysis and prepared subsequent failure and action reports. Presented results of analyses to the Navy personnel as product justifications and engineering change proposals for design corrections.- Correct interpretation of the Navy MK-50 drawings resulted in resolution of numerous discrepancies and deviations improving the manufacturing processes.

Bohemia, Ny, Us

- Responsible for supervising qualification inspection of military and commercial test items such as bomb racks and rocket / missile launchers.- Designed test fixtures to endure various loading conditions including fatigue, life cycling, static load, shock and vibration. Specific design of fixturing included that of the A-10 main landing gear for simulated flight load fatigue test. Test item failures were recorded 4 times without any significant effect on fixture strength or rigidity.- Performed stress analysis on test fixture designs to assure their reliability. - Selected and incorporated various transducers (linear variable displacement transformer, load cells, strain gages) to design test setups for data acquisition purposes. - Reduced test report delivery time by 25%. Implemented computerization improvements while maintaining quality of information.

Us

- Responsible for design of environmental control systems components.- Increased system efficiency by 5% through redesign of air ducts and cooling components.- Utilized computer aided design (CADAM) facilities to arrange cooling system onboard Navy aircraft. - Organized and maintained material traceability throughout the environmental control systems for both the A-6 and EA-6B aircraft programs.
