Finite element analysis of the electronic brake actuator load cell. Identifying non-current/non-conforming materials and replacing them with current specifications (SAE/ASTM). MRB and CCB responsibilities. Determining structural weld classifications (NADCAP) for aircraft components. Engineering change order (ECO) generation.
Concepts NREC
Lead engineer for composite structures for wave energy converter. Structure is an offshore energy generating platform. Responsible for writing specifications, performing analysis and directing designers for turbine structures.

AUT Industries
ITAR registration and licensing officer for thin walled aerospace applications
Engineering Analyst, Aerojet
Performed analysis on nonlinear materials and structures for various rockets (Trident, JCM, Javelin, SSST and Orion CEV). Analysis was done with SDRC, NASTRAN and ABAQUS software packages and hand calculations. Various spreadsheet calculations were developed for pressure fit glass to metal contacts. Statistical analysis was used to determine the aging characteristics of several rocket motor grains. Complete stress analysis was done on several programs with high pressure/high temperature rocket casings. Margins of safety were determined for all analysis. Developed familiarity with JANNAF.

Project Engineer, Protech
Technical/Project leader for the development of an urban assault door breaching munition for the Marine Corps. Responsible for the design, development, test and evaluation of all aspects of the program. Responsible for communicating progress to the customer with written documentation and presentations. Responsible for leading a team consisting of engineers, designers, technicians and support personnel. Responsible for the development of a high pressure composite pressure vessel, numerical analysis, failure analysis and computational fluid dynamics. Analysis was performed to determine the proper design and configuration for a Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) for the bullet proof vest worn by the US military. Significant ballistic improvement was obtained.
