CAREER DEVELOMENT

05/14 - 10/14 Senior Design Engineer - Sierra Nevada Corporation,

Louisville, CO

Assigned to work on the new innovative Dream Chaser winged,

lifting-body spacecraft. Responsibilities involved working in

a cross-functional team environment to design and develop

concepts for the vehicle's propulsion systems. The project

consisted of composite structure components, aluminum alloy

housings and routing steel alloy tubing for the vehicle fuel

sub-systems. Also mounting pumps, sensors and customized

brackets. Functions also involved refining and creating

various concepts for mounting the space flight thruster

Reaction Control Modules (RCM). Engineering activities included

interfacing with manufacturing vendors, presenting Technical

Interchange meetings, and evaluating proposals. All work was

being performed on a Unigraphics/TeamCenter CAD/CAE system.

02/12 - 04/14 Senior Design Engineer - B/E Aerospace Corporation,

Tucson, AZ

Responsibilities include the design and modification of

customized Ultra First Class interiors for large Boeing and

Airbus aircraft. This would be incorporating various molded

composite materials, aluminum alloy components, surfaced panels

and advanced seating systems. Assemble and test prototypes,

develop test procedures and documents relating to testing.

Maintaining a complete design project file including

performance, stress analysis, test reports and specifications.

Also, preparing conceptual drawings and layouts verifying

design with engineering calculation for assemblies and test

prototypes. All work was being performed on a

Unigraphics/TeamCenter CAD/CAE system.

02/10 - 11/11 Senior Design Engineer - Aerojet Corporation, Sacramento,

CA

I was assigned to a small group of engineers to design and

analysis propulsion sub-system equipment to be used for a new

super-sonic cruise missile design. This includes E/M

packaging, metallic primary airframe structures, and

incorporating composite materials, working with complex

machined components and managing large assemblies. Also,

working with evaluating various equipment configurations, cost

and weight reduction, interfacing with vendors, creating

presentations and conduct design reviews. All work was being

performed on a Pro/ENGINEER/Wildfire CAD/CAE system.

08/08 - 02/10 Design Engineer - General Dynamics Corporation,

Westminster, MD

Assigned to the Environmental Controls department for the new

Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV). My responsibilities

included designing and developing a quick disconnect,

replaceable auxiliary cooling system. The project included

mounting pumps includes mounting pumps, valves, sensors and

tubing on a module pallet. All work was being performed on a

Pro/ENGINEER/Wildfire CAD/CAE system.

02/08 - 08/08 Senior Design Engineer - Paragon Space Development

Corporation, Tucson, AZ

Responsibilities included designing and routing various tubing

and ducting components for the new generation Orion

spacecraft. The systems involved environmental controls and

thermal dissipation. Work consisted of feasibility studies

and proposal development. All work was being performed on a

Solidworks/Wildfire CAD/CAE system.

06/07 - 02/08 Design Engineer - Jacobs Engineering, Clear Lake, TX

Assigned to a small group of engineers to design and analysis

the new Portable Life Support System (PLSS). This system will

be used to traverse Lunar and Martian surfaces. Conceptual

design includes feasibility studies and rapid prototypes for

the thermal control system of the new spacesuit development.

This includes machined stainless steel housings, E/M

packaging, electronic valves and routing cables. All work

included interfacing with NASA and maintaining specification

requirements. All work was being performed on a

Pro/ENGINEER/TeamCenter CAD/CAE system.

04/05 - 06/07 Aircraft Design Engineer - Honeywell Corporation,

Tucson, AZ

Functions included the design and modification of aircraft

cabin pressure control systems. Also, assigned to the KEI

project to work on the thrust vector control EMAC systems.

Components comprise of pressure relief valves, E/M packaging

for robust electronic controllers, sensors, cables and printed

circuit boards. Also sheet metal housings and

lightweight alloy machined structures. All work was

being performed on a Pro/ENGINEER/AeroPDM CAD/CAE system.

11/02 -10/04 Structural & Payload Design Engineer - Northrop Grumman,

San Diego, CA

Responsibilities included designing and routing hydraulic

systems for the advanced Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance

aircraft. Work entailed building installation assemblies,

choosing various hardware, making calculations & interfacing

with primary structure. Components include pumps, coolers,

sensors and standoffs. All work was being performed on a

Pro/ENGINEER/TeamCenter CAD/CAE system.

02/02 -11/02 Structural Engineer - United Defense, York, PA

Assigned to design and develop structural weldments for a new

armament re-supply module. Work involves using sheet metal,

extrusions and plate steel. Also, responsible for reducing

part count and simplifying manufacturability. All work was

being performed on a Unigraphics/TeamCenter 2 CAD/CAE system.

10/00 - 02/02 Mechanical Engineer - Novellus Systems Incorporated,

Wilsonville, OR

Worked in a cross-functional team environment on Semi-

Conductor capital equipment design. Proposing solutions to

difficult technical issues associated with specific projects.

This includes machine design & instrument controls.

Particularly large frame assemblies & robotic mechanisms. All

work was performed on a Pro/ENGINEER/TeamCenter CAD/CAE

system.
