Current RoleManaging a long term project (Testing Rig Build for a large Aerospace OEM) with a budget excess of $1 million dollars while multi-managing two other projects simultaneously.Coordinated cross-functional teams including design, aero, structures, assembly, instrumentation, product definition, tooling, procurement, and manufacturing.Manage a multi level (BOM) that detailed important metrics such as product definition, properties, manufacturing stages, schedule need dates, purchase order status, drawing revisions, and inventory. Led daily meetings internally and externally with the customer to communicate status and address any issues a disciplinary team is facing.Collaborated with upper management to prepare weekly and monthly status reports, and Design Reviews (CDR/PDR) for the customer utilizing Microsoft Powerpoint and Microsoft Project to communicate status, issues with proposed solutions, and opportunities to ensure efficiency. Developed and maintained an L3 schedule to meet the customers L1 schedule. Met deliverable dates and communicated potential issues for schedule delays.Reviewed SOWs, project plans, concepts, proposals to ensure the standard work met the customer's requirements and scope. Utilized scope tracking tools to avoid scope creep and implement new revisions.Reviewed TDPs, Drawings, and models to ensure compliance to ASME GD&T 14.5 Worked directly with vendors and suppliers for procurement of hardware. Communicated technical data effectively to enable the supplier to understand the scope of the proposal. Managed RFQ's, PO's, Status reports, and inspection documentation for 40+ pieces of hardware. Managed the project team's performance to record Cost Performance Indexes to meet milestone and budget needs.Recorded meeting minutes during meetings to manage action items, decisions, and progress. Created a Microsoft Excel tracker to track action items and push team progress.

Daily responsibilities include design, testing, root cause analysis, applying engineering knowledge to solve problems, and identifying potential failures Improved assets through system design, PM’s, and work instructions to drive reliability and cost savings.Developed a project roll-out of vibrational analysis of motors to establish predictive maintenance. Induce cost savings and reduce DowntimeManage long term and short-term projects while maintaining project delivery Conducted hands on trouble shooting using drawings, electric schematics, testing equipment, and engineered calculations. Reverse engineered mechanical components and used CREO to model designs to be manufacturedLed as maintenance manager when needed. Manage a team of 15 maintenance techs. Communicated with engineering, leads, and operators to maintain production, reliability, and equipment efficiency.Responsible for 800 plus assests.

Worked in Solidworks to design aircraft components: Wings, fuselage, nose, banner deployment, and landing gear Utilized stability equations for sizing in early design phasesIncorporated design principlesUsing CNC machines to create molds, ribs, and structuresAssisted with creating a Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass fuselage from start to finish following standard composite techniquesTensile material testing and analysisHandmade/sanded leading edges and empennage components to teams desired tolerance following team prodcedure

A project in my Fundamentals of flight course. My team was tasked with designing a main wing for a GWS Slow Stick Model for a heavy lift competitionFully modeled all RC plane components in SolidworksResearched multiple airfoils, and selected one based on our criteria and applicationsOptimized our wing based on the RC model given using parameters such as surface area, wingspan, weight, takeoff distance, lift, and drag; while using the existing model, and tail data to maintain aircraft stabilityManufactured the wing using a CNC foam cutterReinforced the leading and trailing edge with fiber glass for structural rigidity and to combat CNC deficiencies 3D printed custom landing gear which enabled the team to change the angle of attack during takeoff of the competition to optimize lift conditionsSuccessfully flew the aircraft while lifting 2.125 extra lbs
