PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Goodrich Landing Gear Brooklyn Heights, Ohio

2008 – 2010 Design Engineer

Integral in the redesign phases of F-35 landing gear. Responsible for making design changes to models/drawings, annotating models employing GD&T principles, checking datasets for completeness and correctness, working through problematic software issues, and performing various other duties as needed for production of military landing gear.

• Developed techniques for implementing 3-D annotations and

creating Catia assembly FTA revisions, reducing hours spent dealing with software issues and improving productivity.

• Created parts list comparison spreadsheet to automatically compare parts lists between SmarTeam and Matrix, reducing checking hours and ensuring data accuracy.

• Spent time investigating Catia and SmarTeam software issues to gain understanding of causes and identify clear solutions in order to get engineering released on

schedule.

• Ensured quality and functionality of problematic fluid level sensor system as member of LEAN team. Team identified issues with handling and inconsistent test

procedures which resulted in improved packaging, more accurate testing, and ultimately a better end product.

• Detailed, modified and released new components for significant assembly re-design in few days before holiday break to allow parts to be produced and delivered on

schedule.

Alcoa Cleveland, Ohio

2007 - 2008 Die Design Engineer

Built 3-D solid models and generated drawings for aerospace forgings and tooling using Catia V5.

• Revised (reused) existing tooling models to improve production of aerospace wheels.

• Fixed gaps in 3-D model surfaces created by proprietary blocker program to prevent damage to CNC machine when cutting die block.
