Designed a Hall-Effect thruster (HET) and propellant feed system for Lockheed Martin SpaceAnalyzed shortcomings of previous models based on testing data and used that information to produce cost-effective design changes aimed at improving several performance characteristics while complying with specifications set by Lockheed Martin SpaceLiaised with suppliers, machinists, Lockheed Martin Space, and several industry experts to ensure quality and regulation compliance of every component of the prototype. Developed an improved testing procedure to ensure performance metrics of the prototype could be accurately measuredGained extensive experience working in a clean-room environment using vacuum chambers to collect performance dataUsed FMEA, CFD, magnetic, and thermal modeling software during the design phase to ensure material compatibility & design functionalityAs project manager, I was also responsible for planning out the design process, projecting and maintaining the budget, communicating with suppliers and machinists, and ensuring a strong dynamic between the engineering team, Lockheed Martin, and the CEPPE Lab.
