• Led team of 6+ engineers to complete annual F-16 Durability and Damage Tolerance (DADT) tasks totaling 8,500+ man-hours where I was responsible for the technical accuracy of the analysis as well as budgetary management. Significant time spent developing early career engineers into experienced engineers, and experienced engineers into subleads.• Led effort to develop new stress intensity factor solutions for genericized geometry/loading scenarios (solution space development, automated FEM generation/crack insertion, beta correction factor extraction, and stress intensity factor solution development)• Worked in collaboration with Associate Manager to interview and hire early career applicants. Responsible for conducting interviews, grading applicants, and providing hiring recommendations. Reviewed 100+ resumes and conducted 40+ interviews over a period of 3 years.• Conducted technical midyear reviews with team members to guide career path and technical development, hear their career goals, and offer honest feedback of individual team member performance. Provided active and ongoing career development and advice.• Communicated directly with representatives from the Israeli Air Force (IAF), Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF), Belgian Air Force (BAF), and the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) to answer structural questions during customer side meetings at the annual F-16 ASIP Review.• Taught service life-specific portions of the F-16 ASIP Engineer training course to over 40 international engineer representatives over a period of 5 years.• Taught informal Intro to Durability and Damage Tolerance Analysis course to new hires for 5+ years

• Served as the Service Life Point of Contact for three international F-16 structural modification programs. Reviewed/approved proposed structural modifications. Worked in collaboration with F-16 design contacts to revise modifications to mitigate structural issues.• Led numerous tasks with teams of 1-2 engineers with a cumulative budget of 850 man-hours. Completed tasks on time and on average of 48% under budget.• Worked in collaboration with representatives of an international F-16 customer to relieve burdensome inspections caused by unique cracking issue. Championed an analytical plan of attack for the problem, proposed two task statements of work, received funding from the customer, and was the sublead for the service life tasking. Created new analysis-based inspection plans that were quickly implemented by the customer, saving significant inspection cost, maintenance induced damage, and aircraft downtime.
