Littleton, Colorado, United States

Certified principal engineer (CPE) within the bus center of excellence (COE) mechanisms design group. Responsible for establishing the design of mechanisms, including requirements allocation, trade studies, solid modeling, materials evaluations, and analyses. Generate and release drawings using CAD software. Collaboratively interact with other engineers, manufacturing personnel, suppliers, and customers. Represent the organization in design reviews, readiness reviews, and review boards. Resolve discrepancies that occur during build and test.

Littleton, Colorado, United States

Provided unsurpassed technical capability and expertise in the support of innovation and Mission Success at the Materials Technology Lab. Coordinated and interfaced directly with customers and other team members to efficiently guide spacecraft mechanisms through their entire test flow, from planning and preparation, to test execution, to data assessment and reporting. Responsible for personnel, hardware, and equipment safety as a Certified Test Conductor (CTC). Expertly managed multiple high-priority test schedules and budgets across several spacecraft programs. Diverse testing repertoire included mechanism deployments and actuations, servohydraulic and electromechanical load frames, thermal and thermal vacuum chambers, precision dynamometers, data acquisition, and CAD experience through fixture design.

Littleton, Colorado, United States

Composed detailed, concise manufacturing work instructions for production of spacecraft electronics (circuit card assemblies, modules, and boxes). Analyzed the build sequence and manufacturing processes to minimize processing time and risk to flight hardware. Reviewed engineering changes, providing feedback on producibility, then approved and incorporated the changes. Lead the manufacturing readiness review (MRR) process. Evaluated defects, interfacing with customers and multidisciplinary teams to disposition hardware and institute effective corrective action. Procured and documented (SOPs, FFMEAs, etc.) manufacturing tools and equipment to improve quality and reduce costs.

Broomfield, Co

Designed elegant 3D models and illustrated drawings of high-end consumer electronics and supporting mechanisms for business aircraft using SolidWorks CAD program. Performed finite element analysis on aircraft mounting systems. Developed, tested, and revised prototypes to meet aviation industry regulations and specifications. Evaluated and processed engineering change orders to support design for manufacturability and continuous quality improvement objectives. Created innovative ergonomic fixtures to increase production volume and reduce product variability.
