Senior Reliability Maintainability and Supportability (RMS) Engineer
Provide RMS oversight and technical support for the Space Shuttle
Liquid Propulsion Main Engine Program at NASA Marshall Space Flight
Center. Serve as a primary RMS lead for technical reviews and
reliability failure rate analysis, allocations, and predictions.
Participate in all phases of RMS and System Safety analysis from
initial planning, design, manufacturing, and testing through
operational use; including trade study analysis, reliability
prediction and integration into design and verification activities.
Daily duties include RMS and System Safety impact evaluations for
design, process or requirement changes. Significant experience in the
development of; FMEA CIL, (FMECA), System Safety and Fault Tree
Analysis (FTA) with a strong background in rotating gas turbine
machinery. Provide technical expertise in support of Failure Review
Board Assessments Teams, Problem Resolution Teams, design review teams
and reliability requirement and verification audit teams, design and
program requirement reviews, preparing and maintaining Reliability and
Maintainability Program Plans, Reliability and Maintainability
predictions and allocations at system and subsystem levels. Provide
mission launch support for 25 Space Shuttle launches at the NASA
Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC). Duties include console
monitoring of real-time data being transmitted from the shuttle.
Evaluate and provide real time component and system level engineering
failure analysis and corrective action and FMEA CIL impact for issues
involving anomalies with mission and flight safety critical hardware
as needed to ensure a safe and successful space shuttle launch. Member
of the SSME Advanced Health Management Reliability Continuous
Improvement and Upgrade Team. Successfully incorporated a synchronous
vibration redline monitoring system for the SSME High Pressure
Turbopumps, which resulted in a 23 percent engine level ascent risk
reduction for the Space Shuttle Fleet.
Recognition: Individual and Group Achievement Honor Awards for support
of the Advanced Health Management and Fault Detection upgrade in 2005.
STS 131 Space Flight Awareness Honoree in April 2010. This award is
the highest form of recognition given to an employee by NASA's Space
Flight Awareness Award Program for outstanding support and job
performance for the Space Shuttle Program.
Currently serve as RMS Engineering technical specialist for the
Constellation Ares 1 Upper Stage Liquid Propulsion Engine Program.
Manage and provide reliability leadership support for the development
and implementation of a Reliability and Maintainability Program for
all project phases from initial planning through design, test and
operational use. Serve as a primary interface with all engineering
and program functional groups for oversight, coordination and
implementation of RMS and System Safety requirements. Also serve as
a primary reliability lead responsible for oversight and development
of the FMEA CIL, Fault Tree and Hazard Analysis involving the Ares 1
Upper Stage Liquid Propulsion Engine Program. Support and evaluate
design trade studies, develop reliability analyses such as Reliability
Modeling, Allocation, and Predictions. Duties include daily
interfacing with all engineering disciplines and Product teams (IPT)
and Program Management teams to develop, plan and coordinate
scheduling of multiple tasks across numerous cross-functional
engineering disciplines, to resolve issues involving RMS compliance.
Developed and managed an integrated closed-looped review process
between numerous Reliability, Design, Engineering and manufacturing
disciplines that was successful in meeting scheduled program
milestones. Current member of the Space Launch System RMS Program
Team, responsible for developing reliability and maintainability RAM
requirements. Recognition: Outstanding Performance Award for
invaluable technical skills and dedication in support of the J2X
Program in 2009. Individual and Group Achievement Honor Awards in
recognition of significant contributions to the successful completion
of the Ares J2X Upper Stage Engine Critical Design Review Milestone in
2010.
Experience
Member of the STS 107 SSME Fault Tree Investigation Team. Validated
that hazard controls were appropriate and implemented properly for
accepted risk hazards and to verify the validity and acceptability of
FMEA CIL that warranted review due to fault tree and engineering
working group observations. Recognition: Individual and Group
Achievement Honor Awards for efforts resulting in a successful return
to flight readiness assessment.
Member of the SSME Turbopump Knife Edge Seal Failure Investigation
Team. Resulted in the root cause failure determination and redesign
of the Knife Edge Seal, leading to the successful return of the Space
Shuttle Fleet back to flight. Recognition: Individual and Group
Achievement Honor Awards for efforts resulting in a successful return
to flight readiness assessment.
Member of the Space Shuttle Flow-liner Crack Fault-Tree Investigation
Team. Successful in identifying root cause for the failure and
formulation of inspection and repair techniques. Resulted in an
expedited return of the space shuttle fleet back-to-flight.
Recognition: Individual and Team Achievement Awards for work involving
the Space Shuttle flow liner crack resolution in 2004.
Member of the SSME Speed Sensor In-Flight Anomaly Investigation Team.
Completion of the STS 111 Anomaly Speed Sensor Fault Tree resulting in
identification of the root cause of the failure, redesign and
certification of numerous SSME Liquid Air Insulation components and a
successful return of the space shuttle fleet back-to-flight.
Member of the NASA Summer Hire Mentoring Program for college students.
Duties included planning and coordinating job tasks and training
assignments, and providing individual guidance as needed to ensure a
productive, motivated, and value added work experience. Recognition:
Special Mentoring Award for significant contributions and dedication
to NASA's summer mentoring program for engineering entry level college
interns.
Industrial Safety Hazard Analysis Engineer Nov. 1999 to Dec. 2000
Performed hazard analysis for ground based and hazardous operations at
MSFC. Evaluated test, checkout, operating procedures and test
readiness reviews to assure compliance of applicable codes and safety
program requirements. Developed numerous hazard analyses for the
Advance Propulsion Research Center at MSFC; including hazard analysis
for a high pressure GOX delivery system for the International Space
Station Airlock System and a thermal battery testing program for the
