- Led a multidisciplinary team of MEs, EEs, and SEs to design and develop the upcoming generation of drones- Project managed a group of ME’s, EE, and SE’s to build a comprehensive autonomous flight vehicle- Managed and mechanically integrated various payload projects successfully- Took a hands on approach to prototyping, building, and integrating solutions to drone-base systems- Designed thermoformed, CNC’d carbon fiber, and 3D printed parts to shave weight/optimize drone design- Carried R&D to production by creating manufacturing level assembly drawings and process documentation- Rectified charging problems by altering and redesigning the electromechanical charging system on scout base

- Led and mentored the SLA focused Sustaining Engineering team to understand and solve engineering problems- Problem-solved by diving deep into the largest SLA electromechanical problems through engineering principles- Worked with senior leadership to set direction and determine avenues of growth- Determined trends and cost impacts of projects through SQL and decreased potential costs- Coordinated projects, delegated resources, and informed engineering efforts through risk assessments

- Root caused difficult to diagnose field issues using FEM and 8D methodologies (fishbone/5-whys)- Designed and fabricated testing jigs using milling, water jetting, and laser cutting to test mass production parts- Designed parts with engineering drawings (GD&T) for machined, die casted, and injection molded parts- Coordinated with interdisciplinary teams release ECOs in PLM and cut costs

- Established a department wide engineering design process through incorporating agile methodologies into traditional waterfall/phase-gate process to develop innovative solutions.- Designed and led engineering and development on the first commercialized desktop-sized long range R&D testing solution for autonomous vehicles.- Published alignment, calibration, testing, and validation methodologies for optical testing machines.- Engineered automated testing approaches to decrease overhead by as much as 70% on acquisition of necessary validation data.- Collaborated with partners to mechanically design and build production line geometric calibration machines.- Used SolidWorks to design, run simulations, and configure test fixtures for wide field of view MTF testing.- Developed Python scripts to optimize running conditions of motorized rotary stages and gantries.- Created and coordinated creation of documentation for CAD files, engineering drawings, and standards.

- Designed and tested prototypes of milk frothers for legacy Keurig coffee brewers.- Prepared CAD files for aluminum casting.- Designed and fabricated experimental filters to run DOE using SLA, FDM, and CNC technologies.- Worked within interdisciplinary teams to run teardowns and analyses of products.

- Formulated and rectified Arduino code for delta 3D printers and brought them closer to production.- Worked with customer input to develop and improve custom 3D printed insole production.
