Analyzed and improved the reliability and maintainability (R&M) of the Bell 360 competitive prototype helicopter for the US Army’s Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft competition. Developed full life cycle reliability simulation for a helicopter using Python for use in predictions, design change analysis and status determination. Performed and reported Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis on propulsion and fuel systems Analyzed legacy failure modes and solutions to improve prototype design Created and revised functions and functional relationships for the propulsion, fuel, heat exchanger, fire suppression and exhaust systems Reviewed and assessed R&M impact of proposed design changes Determined accurate failure rates for new and redesigned components using supplier information, legacy aircraft failure data and public industry failure data Evaluated and improved ways to report and track various R&M metrics including system aborts, maintenance man hours, achieved and operational availabilities Reviewed and assessed R&M impact of design reviews, test reports and other supplier documents Supported financial and intellectual property teams by creating a predicted R&M high drivers list Analyzed the R&M of the Bell 360 using the 3D CAD software Catia V6

Mechanical Engineer Sep 2015 – PresentMechanical Engineer, Intern May 2014 – Aug 2014Mechanical Engineer, Intern Jan 2013 – Aug 2013Managed maintenance programs to increase safety, reliability and performance of the Rolls Royce RB211-535, Rolls Royce Trent 700 and General Electric GE90 engines• Reduced Airbus A330-200 aircraft out of service times caused by engine cabin odor through the improvement of troubleshooting practices and by providing on-call and on-site support • Reviewed, edited and approved the GE90 shop maintenance program that included emerging issue solutions, best practices and provided the maximum ROI• Oversaw the evaluation, tracking, removal and risk management of faulty hydraulic ripple dampers on the Trent 700 through the creation of new tracking documents, work cards and shop instructions• Revised the Trent 700 shop procedures to investigate root causes of cabin odor and to increase the Trent 700 oil system sealing capabilities to reduce cabin odor• Designed a prototype RB211 Bleed Valve Control Unit test box which allowed for faster, easier and more accurate troubleshooting than previous standard processes • Planned and implemented a new fleet wide preservation system to prevent corrosion in spare engines• Efficiently and accurately guided engine data, systems, processes, maintenance documents, parts and materials through the American Airlines and US Airways merger • Ensured FAA regulation compliance throughout all maintenance programs• Approved one off repairs for engines in the overhaul shop that were outside of manual limits • Evaluated significant events and performance trends to prevent future failures • Consistently collaborated with GE and Rolls Royce to identify and solve emerging issues• Improved my technical writing and communication skills with engineering, upper management, other departments, frontline mechanics, OEMs and contractors
