San Diego, Ca

• Created FEMAP API scripts to assist with Statistical Energy Analysis of a rocket body.• Reviewed and assisted with lesson plans and modules for a Response Dynamics course in Siemens Simcenter.• Generated Freebody Loads from an assembly model of a satellite to apply into a more detailed breakout model for FEA, constructed a script to automate the load building process, ran simulations, and documented results.

San Diego, Ca

• Conducted ground vibrational, free-play, and flutter tests on developmental and production aircraft.• Developed full spectrum test experience including simulation, planning, gage and accelerometer setup, data acquisition, modal frequency excitation methods, and compiled reports of the analyzed data.• Manufactured accelerometer blocks with joint attachment to accelerate and improve accuracy of setup mounting.

Denver, Co

• Simulated launch, landing, and various atmospheric load cases for a detailed FEA on breakout models of a rover robotic drilling arm to analyze stress yielding of each part and complete bolted joint analysis of the interfaces.• Built assembly models using super elements to reduce the node and element count of the entire structure while still simulating the effects of the other links on the breakout model.• Computed stress margins of the model and presented failing parts and interfaces to the customer.

San Diego, Ca

• Meshed parts and constructed them into in-depth assembly and breakout models of a rocket engine fuel inlet valve and robotic camera using Siemens NX.• Utilized ANSYS to conduct nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to analyze the constructed models using realistic force, pressure, and temperature loads focused on bolted flange separation and contact pressure.• Displayed post processed analysis to the customer using weekly PowerPoints highlighting key stress areas that need geometry updates.• Analyzed multiple iterations of each model, and recommended model updates.• Collaborated with colleagues and customers positioned in locations nationwide.

Milford, Oh

• Developed Google Project Tango specifically with the JT2Go Application, increased functionality and capability of application.• Created videos displaying the new updates and usability of the Application, demonstrated the potential for real world uses of the application.
