Mechanical Engineer

Lockheed Martin, Sunnyvale California, April 2001 - May 2003

●As a Mechanical Design Engineer for the NASA Gravity Probe B satellite thermal blanket design team, I work to integrate a vehicle thermal blanket system conceiving of multiple novel engineering solutions resulting in a, on schedule subsystem. Utilizing innovative solutions, experimentation, engineering principles, 2D & 3D CAD, I successfully contribute to the design and installation via a clean room. During the thermal-vacuum test I implement the thermal test plan by adjusting thermal loads and preventing out of spec conditions as a test engineer and document the results.

●Working with the airborne laser (Air Force) team I package sensors in a large optics assembly utilizing CAD.

●Participating with the structures team for the Payload Launch Vehicle (Air Force) as a Mechanical Design Engineer, I process engineering change orders, I redesign parts, assemblies, structures, wire harnesses and electro-mechanical packaging. I utilize GD&T and Solid Modeling in the task of creating new drawings and revisions.

●As a Mass Properties Engineer Analyst, I am integral in multiple geosynchronous satellite integrated product teams. I calculate component and vehicle mass properties via hand, 2D & 3D Solid Modeling, Bill of Materials, spreadsheet pivot tables, and database calculations. I create and update databases, regularly attended team meetings and concluding my vehicle mass properties analysis with reports.
