- Primarily developed processes and determined and documented approaches to integrate tight-tolerance structural components and assemblies onto the launch vehicle.- Dispositioned non-conformance tickets to rework and repair vehicle structural deviations, performed root cause analysis, and implemented corrective actions.- Led efforts to improve upstream machining processes to provide the team with a better product and better documentation.- Identified tooling needs, coordinated tooling projects, designed tools, and incorporated new tooling into the processes to increase build quality and vehicle production rate.- Wrote work instructions for structural integration, propulsion integration, avionics integration, tank cleaning/closeouts, spun parts (domes and nozzles), transfer tube welding, vehicle friction stir welding and vehicle painting, including projects such as Falcon 9 (from the development phase to full production phase), Falcon Heavy, Falcon Heavy qualification, and Dragon 2 (trunk and capsule).- Responsible for reviewing team members work instructions to ensure the quality and consistency.- Became team expert in writing work instructions and took responsibility for training new employees in ERP systems and writing work instructions.- Guided the development and improvements in our ERP system’s user interface and functionality, including improvements that saved the company over $75,000 in engineering labor per year.- Served as the team point of contact to the information systems development team. Became a team expert in NX and took responsibility to train new employees to use NX.- Developed landing leg strut tooling that simulated large sections of the vehicle and simplified the assembly process from requiring on vehicle work (made on assembly), enabling the transition of the work to the designed tooling and removing hundreds of hours from the critical path of the build.

- Worked as the lead product engineer for fluid fittings, ring locked inserts and studs, and isolator mounts.- Responsible for performing root cause analysis and dispositioning non-conformance reports.- Provided technical support to government and commercial aerospace contractors and designed new products to meet specific customer needs.- Led a Lean Six Sigma project utilizing Design of Experiments (DOE), statistical analaysis, and process control to optimize thread tapping.

I worked with manufacturing plants to alter production lines for vehicle changes, used programs such as Catia, SolidWorks, and Microsoft Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to convey data and plans, and performed robot efficiency studies for robots that cannot upload data to computers or networks

- I worked on projects involving plant safety standards. - I used programs such as Microsoft Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to convey data.- I wrote guidelines from factor of safety and machine element calculations to develop over-head hoists for plant use.

- Conducted research in laboratory environment.- Used programs such as Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to convey data and findings in research.- Worked on projects with engineers to formulate organic vitamins and supplements.
