Manufacturing engineer of highly secure doors, vaults, and structures that protect people and sensitive materials from bullets, blasts, and forced entry. The Payload Transport Replacement (PTR) vehicle for the U.S. Air Force transports highly valuable assets over public roads while protecting passengers and payloads from ballistic, explosive, and forced entry threats. Meeting the Air Force’s extremely stringent requirements and specifications, the PTR features an armored cab and blast/forced entry resistant cargo containment system.

* Trained clients how to incorporate effective CAD 3-D modeling techniques in component, sub-assemblies and final assembly and as well as creating 2D drawings with GD&T specifications using CREO and Catia V5 solid modeling software* Specialized in parametric modeling tools that optimize and analyze design from concept to final assemblies.* Educated with Pro/Mechanica to model and mesh designs to simulate structural and thermodynamic characteristics to validate and strengthen product design* Improved and developed courseware to advance training quality and effectiveness

* Developed design concepts for an innovative proposal of a curved armed composite windshield-wiper system for NH-90 Helicopter to satisfy the specification for improved pilot visibility* Simulated animations of the wiper mechanics using Pro/Engineer and Pro/Mechanism to test and optimize mounting locations and model dimension to cover required surface area * Analyzed and tested stress, strain and fatigue using engineering techniques such as ANSYS and Pro/Mechanica to optimize the design of the composite wiper arm structural and functional components * Integrated manufacturability into the products designs by maintaining communication with external supplier’s knowledge and capabilities* Documented design technical drawings, bill of materials, and engineering change orders
