While working at General Atomics Electro Magnetic Systems I was responsible for making design improvements and maintaining EMALS(Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System) and AAG(Advance Arresting Gear) used on the Aircraft Carriers for the US Navy. While supporting the EMALS and AAG systems we pivoted to exit the design phase of the product lifecycle. Moving forward, the Sustainment Engineering Phase was started by myself, a Lead Engineer and a Senior Director.

While supporting the EMALS and AAG systems we pivoted to exit the design phase of the product lifecycle. Moving forward, the Sustainment Engineering Phase was started by myself, a Lead Engineer and a Senior Director. The goal of the Sustainment Engineering group was to focus on Life Cycle Management of EMALS and AAG. While developing the foundation for the sustainment of EMALS and AAG I worked directly with the Chief Systems Engineer and Manufacturing Engineering to control Form, Fit and Function. In this process I would receive a Quality Notice from manufacturing, upon assessing the issue I would draft an extensive Change Report describing the cause and solution. The Change Report would drive the change process forward to be Completed by a Engineering Change Notice. ECNs involve processing the resolution on the drawing level. All ECN changes must be scrutinized by a review board(Change Management). ECNs that affected Form, Fit and Function had to be presented to the Navy for approval. I also have experience in Component Engineering which consists of life cycle management of PCB board components. A significant number of my changes required me to present my change to the Navy.

A cube satellite team at ULL where we are currently working on our third satellite. I had the pleasure of working this project along with my colleges and their satellite subsystems. I worked on the optics subsystem and for my senior design I worked on the power system and systems integration of the cube satellite. More information is available at www.ulcape.org

I on the electrical engineering side I manufactured the numerous life support and communications equipment used in the Saturation diving industry. I also had the chance to work on some mechanical engineering projects which gave me exposure to working with metal.

I also had the chance to work on some mechanical engineering projects which gave me exposure to working with metal. The projects that I worked on were based the contracts that the company won, which was exciting from an engineering stand point whereas I gained alot of valuable exposure to different types of engineering and the issues that can arise. I learned as an Engineer it is always important to take into consideration the people who will be viewing and building from your schematics, with that being said by having a clear and the most simplistic design possible will ensure efficiency during manufacturing and possible repair, which means happy technicians. I enjoyed my learning experience and working with my co-workers; who were retired veterans, they definitely influenced my mindset as an engineer. Show less
