EXPERIENCE

April 2012- Project / Platform Engineer (Motion Control and Sensing Solutions)

Current The focus at Woodward AS division is on the development, testing, manufacturing,

and delivery of advanced flight control systems, integrated cockpit controls,

precision actuation solutions, motion control, and sensing.

Work with teams and individually to complete product lifecycle requirements for

new product introductions and platform designs.

Platform development facilitates rapid introduction of new products to the industry

competitively by leveraging IRAD and lessons learned in an organized manner to

develop flexible baseline products.

Project engineer responsibilities include new product proposal support in the form of

design input, pricing, mock-up hardware deliveries, and direct customer interaction.

Responsibilities also include support of the product lifecycle such as preliminar y

and final design reviews (internal and customer), specification compliance matrices,

product design, material selection, design for manufacturability, design assurance

testing, qualification testing, and hands on product manufacturing during low

volume and first run production.

Platform engineer responsibilities include design for automated manufacture as well

as development of design tools to simplify and expedite NPI design cycle. Product

design guides are compiled as a company wide resource. Test programs are

implemented in order to prepare the platform products to be as “off the shelf” as

possible while still meeting demanding customer specific interfaces and

requirements.

April 2006- MPC Products, Skokie, Illinois

January 2009 Environmental Test Engineer (Mechanical / Electromechanical)

The focus at MPC products is on the development, testing, manufacturing, and

delivery of actuation systems, electromechanical sensors, and flight surface controls

for military and commercial aerospace applications.

Work with teams and individually to propose and carry out environmental and life

test plans during the qualification, SOF, and validation phases of product life cycle.

Write test procedures and document qualification test results based off of MIL-STD-

810 and RTCA/DO-160 standards including vibration, temperature soak cycles, salt

fog, humidity, altitude, and others while monitoring performance parameters,

component level performance, and structural integrity.

Design, construct, and procure test equipment specific to every product going

through qualification testing.

Work with teams of multiple disciplines, internal and customer, to interpret and

evaluate testing programs and results.

Implement root cause analysis of qualification failures and implementation of

corrective actions.

Continuous improvement and design of Test Equipment, test fixtures, and Data

Acquisition.

October 2005 - US Music Corp, Mundelein, Illinois

April 2006 Manufacturing Processes Update, CNC Programming and Operation

The focus at US Musicorp is the efficient design and manufacturing of innovative

musical equipment for several major musical instrument brands including Parker

guitars, Washburn guitars, and Randall amplifiers. Unique to these guitar brands are

the composite materials used to decrease weight and improve structural stability.

Randall amplifiers are known for the use of modular tube preamps that allow for

inexpensive consumer level product modification.

Update automated manufacturing processes as well as manufacturing equipment for

greater efficiency and higher volume output

Support during the transition from manual machining applications to automated

machining processes.

Utilize feedback from interaction with factory floor personnel to ensure minimal

delivery delays during transition.

2D and 3D CAD drawing updates for refining tooling operations

January 2005 – TRW Automotive, Livonia, Michigan

May 2005 Contracted for Senior Design (Fully automated hydraulic burst fixture)

Fully automated, high pressure burst test fixture design and construction for brake

system master cylinders for sample sets on the manufacturing line.

Responsible for hydraulic component selection, labview software development, and

sensor/hardware support for data acquisition and system control.

Test fixture designed, built, and implemented into TRW manufacturing facility for

testing controlled sample sets.
