FMC Technologies, Inc. Houston, Texas

January 20, 2010 Present

Performed all typical duties of a Senior Reliability Engineer such as FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) on complicated subsea trees / manifolds and/or umbilicals for the sanctioned projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Subsea systems hardware and retrieval tools such as Open Water IWOCS/Workover and Control System components like (hydraulic flying leads, electrical flying leads, subsea control module, hydraulics winch, cabin master control station, remote operated vehicle, reel hydraulics were analyzed in terms of all failure modes and these failures were ranked in terms of severity and probability. Lead Root Cause Analysis investigations on failures reported from the field or operators personnel, and participated in a study for the future development of metal sealing technologies. Prepared ECNs, which were released for reliability work like FMECA, Root Cause Analysis, Lessons Learned from Field Sites, Safety Integrity Level, Technical Assurance Plans. Responsibilities included system selection, FEED studies, and execution phases of project development, commissioning work and project start-up support. Some specific duties were the following:

Track and report cost and delivery schedule of the scope of work

Monitor testing and system integration of subsea drilling products

* Coordinate technical interface issues between disciplines

Oversee the development of contractor HSE management system and promote safety culture and practices with suppliers to ensure safe installation and operation of subsea products

Provide technical and trouble-shooting support to producing assets after equipment commissioning

Participate in the development of specifications and tender packages for the design, manufacturing, and installation of subsea products

Performed reliability predictions using Relex software in a fault tree model to layout and simulate all of the faults in an enhanced vertical deepwater tree or a horizontal tree for deepsea stations like Jubilee and Tyrihans. Most Reliability and Safety work (Hazard Identification and HAZOP) was done for these deepsea stations, located off of the coasts of Brazil, Argentina, Trinidad, Tobago, Norway, Africa, and Scotland. Workshops were held where the reliability engineer facilitated the team meetings to review the progress of the FMECA, or Fault Tree Analysis.

Reliability and Maintainability Engineer

General Dynamics Land Systems Sterling Heights, Michigan

November2007 December2009

Served General Dynamics in a Reliability/Maintainability (RMA) role on the programs of the Abrams Tank Evolutionary design (year 2015), Future Combat Systems, and Stryker. A program cost savings of 10% was achieved by implementing a Design For Reliability (DFR) strategy into early design stages of product development. Delivered Power Point presentations to design review teams with Reliability recommendations of high failure risk items and design changes needed. Performed reliability predictions (MIL-HDBK-217F) and used RELEX to model predictions of subsystem Reliability and to perform Fault Tree Analysis, where a complex system could be laid out and fault trees drawn up to demonstrate all of the possible faults or failure modes of a system. Drafted/coordinated DFMEA (Design Failure Modes Effects Analysis) to determine the highest risk failure modes and proposed corrective actions. Worked extensively with System Safety Analysis per ARP - 4761, Preliminary System Safety Analysis (PSSA) on the main engine system for the M1A2 Abrams Tank. Worked as a team to ensure Product Safety and Reliability targets were met by active participation in and organization of Hazard Analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.

Worked with Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Field Failure Event/Malfunction Reporting Systems (FFE/MRS), and Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) for Reliability and Logistics Field Support on the Abrams Tank Evolutionary Design. Familiar with Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) and how Logistics Support and Field Maintenance Action relate to the Systems Engineering process. Knowledgeable of the deployment of vehicles and Materiel to various field sites, Performance Based Logistics (PBL), and Obsolescence Management. Implemented a Reliability and Maintainability Strategy by delivering phases of plans, assessments, block diagrams, and calculations of component (MTBF) and subsystems prediction rates/cumulative reliability. Demonstrated that the Operational Mission Reliability and Maintainability Profile could be achieved with a given design, recommended Reliability improvements within budget, and computed product life cycle costs of operating a vehicle in the field for a specified time period.

Mechanical Reliability/Safety Engineer

Goodrich Engine Control Systems West Hartford, Connecticut

March 2005 October 2007

Served Goodrich in a Reliability function, major duties include performing FMECA, Reliability prediction, system safety assessments, functional hazard assessments, and fault tree analysis on hydro-mechanical products for fuel handling of gas turbine engine for helicopters and small engine aircraft, and for aircraft engine controls for HDBK-217E, Reliability Growth (MIL-HDBK-189); failure mode analysis, and determining the effects of failure modes at component and system levels. Duties included safety analysis of Goodrich products, and if not safe, making recommendations to re-design a system. System safety assessment work involved examining flight critical conditions, which would cause engine shutdown or the inability to shutdown, engine flame-out conditions, or engine over speed.

Hydraulics Program Engineer

General Dynamics Amphibious Systems (contract) Woodbridge, Virginia

October 2003 February 2005

Worked in the Hydraulics Engineering Department and functioning as a Program Engineer on an amphibious vehicle program, a major duty was to plan and execute reliability predictions for product development on hydraulic pumps, motors, and reservoirs.
