Objective:

Contract engineering position in aerospace.

Experience:

Feb 2011-Present

Project Engineer, Barry Controls Aerospace, Burbank, CA

Program manager for CH53K gimbal bearing, Bell 525 Main Rotor CF

Bearing, and Bell 525 LIVE mount. Design and analysis of vibration

suppression systems and engine mounts for static strength,

fatique/damage tolerance and dynamic response. Tools utilized

include classical/hand calculation methods, MSC PATRAN/NATRAN, ABAQUS

finite element codes, NASGRO crack propagation analysis, CATIA V5, and

MS Project. Lead designer for the engine mount system for the Dassault

Falcon 5X.

Aug 2010-Feb 2011

Contract Engineer, The Boeing Company, Fluid Systems Standards,

Seattle, WA

Stress analysis of hydraulic and ECS system components using

PATRAN/NASTRAN and ABAQUS. Design of injection molded hydraulic

system caps and ECS system clamps. Failure anaysis of hydraulic

system components.

Jan 2008-May 2010

Structural Engineer, Goodrich Aerostructures, Chula Vista, CA

Design Engineer for the A350XWB thrust reverser translating sleeve and

aft cascade ring. Responsible for the design of the translating sleeve

acoustic panel a composite honeycomb sandwich structure and the aft

cascade ring a monolithic graphite composite component. These

components were designed using CATIA V5 and Fibersim.

Also responsible for initial layout of translating sleeve outer panel,

blocker door drag link fittings, drag link spring mechanisms, drag

links, block door acoustic islands, outer panel fairings, and seals

and retainers for the translating sleeve.

Design Engineer, Northrop-Grumman Ryan Aeronautical Center, San

Diego, CA

Responsible for design of control surfaces (ailerons) for RQ-4B Global

Hawk wing. Responsibilities included engineering support for the RQ-

4A Global Hawk composite wing structure and various fuselage

structural modifications and equipment installations. Designs were

modeled using Pro/Engineer.

1 May 1997-July 2000

Design Engineer, Robinson Helicopter Company, Torrance, CA

Responsible for preliminary and detailed design, test, and

certification of a variety of new options/modifications for R22 and

R44 helicopters. Project engineer for design and installation of

engine dynamometers. Designs were modeled using Pro/Engineer.

1 Jan 1996 - Apr 1997

Senior Engineer, Rotor Aerodynamics, Westland Helicopters, Yeovil,

England

Responsibilities included rotor performance prediction, rotor

preliminary design, rotor unsteady aerodynamics modeling, rotor wake

modeling, and rotor wake visualization. This analysis and development

work was performed using FORTRAN and C++.

Feb 1989 - July 1992

Software Engineer, Airshow Inc., Tustin, CA

Developed a moving map display and terrain awareness system for light

aircraft. Responsibilities included map data base development,

development of graphics routines and the development of communications

routines to interface with the GPS receiver.
