I'm Kevin Monahan, an Airframe Design Engineer with AVX Aircraft Company. As a Mechanical Engineering Leader, I drive excellence and believe in the power of processes, people, strategy, and execution to create genuinely exceptional results. One of my strengths is cultivating a multi-disciplinary team that brings together diverse experiences and education. This approach allows us to utilize a wide range of analytical, simulation, and model-based problem-solving techniques. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can influence, collaborate, and lead high-performing teams to achieve remarkable results. 🔘 Managed University Research Partnerships of $1M+ 🔘 Drove Metal Matrix Composite Readiness to MRL 6 🔘 Maintained Supplier Relationships in 5 Countries 🔘 Specified & Installed Capital Equipment of $3M+ 🔘 Contributed to Several Patents PendingBuilding credibility and trust is crucial, and I strive to establish strong relationships at all levels. I'm known for my excellent communication skills and regularly deliver presentations to Director and VP-level management. With a solid understanding of general aerospace configuration management processes, I bring a unique perspective to the table. I approach decision-making with creativity and innovation when faced with production challenges in cutting-edge research and development environments. My hybrid background in manufacturing techniques and product design, particularly concerning Additive Manufacturing, gives me specialized knowledge in welding, castings, forging, and planning for assembly.Regarding technical expertise, I'm proficient in multiple 3D CAD suites and have a firm grasp of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T) interpretation. I also have experience using state-of-the-art simulation software to produce detailed 3D models and drawings. On a personal note, I love traveling and have visited 32 countries so far, with more to come!
