● Conducted structural and fluids testing for development, qualification, and acceptance of umbilical components● Designed, sourced, and delivered critical vehicle testing hardware on short notice● Learned ANSYS Fluent CFD to support hand-calcs for umbilical flow characteristics

● Directed two liquid bipropellant rocket engine test campaigns● Lead the design and construction of a system to rapidly test rocket engines up to 7,500 lbf ● Manufactured mission critical hardware, including valve actuators, custom fittings, and engine components● Analyzed testing data to characterize fluid systems, evaluate hardware performance, and refine testing procedures

● Designed pressure rated fittings to assist in cleaning and leak checking quick disconnect flex hoses● Conducted a test campaign of a cover mechanism to determine pneumatic orifice sizing and verify its ability to seal fluid ports from FOD & moisture● Analyzed fluid systems to determine adequate orifice and line sizes for proper pneumatic actuation times● Worked in Siemens NX to create parts and refine existing CAD models

● Analyzed thermal deformation and routing of cryogenic pipes and designed supports for maximum expansion, contraction, loading, and vibrational cases● Worked with operators and technicians to build, repair, and rework tests stand infrastructure● Communicated with vendors to inform trade studies and source test stand components
