Systems and Mechanical Engineer - Magnetometer Instrument for NASA’s JPL managed PSYCHE space mission. Systems Engineer - Magnetometer Instrument for NASA’s JPL managed Europa Clipper space mission.• Cognizant Engineer of the Electronics Unit Chassis for Psyche’s Fluxgate Magnetometer • Performed design changes and random vibration analysis of CAD models in Solidworks• Created drawings in Solidworks to communicate mechanical interfaces, surface treatments, and geometric dimensioning and tolerances • Presented the mechanical design of the electronics unit at a JPL peer review. • Managed instrument-level requirements by assigning verification method, venue, and owner.• Created tracking system for requirement verification, and reported them at monthly reviews.• Created Engineering Change Request (ECR) packages and oversaw the approval process.• Wrote systems-level documents for contract delivery to JPL, which included functional requirements documentation, verification and validation plans, and technical resource management.

• Designed, developed, and implemented Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cable harness systems.• Generated CAD models and installation drawings of cable routes for the integration of avionics and payloads into UAV systems.• Collaborated with electrical engineers and drafters to create cable harness drawings. • Interfaced with production personnel to clarify drawing issues and improve drawings.• Applied technical knowledge to analyze, investigate, and resolve assigned engineering problems involving cable harness assemblies. • Researched new products for future implementation in cable harness designs and presented findings to engineering staff.

• Assisted engineers with the testing and modifying of products and processes. • Updated CAD models and electrical schematics of manufacturing equipment using SolidWorks.• Assembled and installed manufacturing equipment used in a cleanroom environment.• Executed IQ/OQ protocols to validate manufacturing equipment.

• Designed toolpaths in CAMWorks and operated a Haas CNC mill to fabricate complex prototype spacecraft parts and testing equipment out of aluminum, copper, and PEEK.• Precisely machined stock material using a manual mill. • Reviewed CAD models with other engineering teams and edited the CAD models to ensure that parts were adequately designed for manufacturability. • Supervised a machine shop of student engineers operating both manual and CNC machines.

• Designed and programmed a new method to organize the company’s inventory using Excel VBA and barcodes.
