Experience
Control Systems Engineer- Belcan Corporation Cincinnati, Ohio-- Sept 2007- Present
Developed, tested and certified control system software for military, commercial, marine and industrial engine applications
for GE Aviation. Produced documentation for hardware, software and interface requirements while adhering to change
control and quality assurance procedures. Coordinated with customers to report project status and to alert them of
possible scope changes. Reported project status internally with bi-weekly status reports and archived all related
documentation in accordance to ISO 9001 compliancy structure. Participated in design, peer, and technical reviews to
ensure the quality of deliverables to the customer.
• GE F136 - Optimized and tested cutting-edge control software for an alternative engine for the next generation of
jet fighter, the F-35 Lightning II. Used MATLAB to develop and test Simulink models for the control hardware and
application software governing all engine operation. Coordinated with team members to optimize control software
for electro-hydraulic servo valves, torque motors and other pre-existing control hardware to maintain engine
interchangeability with the F135. Mentored less experienced engineers facing issues with MATLAB/Simulink,
proper coding practice, and project documentation.
• CFM56-7B – In charge of performing design assurance testing, integration testing and certification on latest 7B
software release using GE’s dry-rig testing facility. Compared dry-rig test results to UNIX desktop test data to
troubleshoot control hardware and software issues. Software was certified following proper NPI tollgate protocols,
testing procedures and quality control standards 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
• LM6000 – Reduced emissions on a LM6000PB industrial gas turbine by 50 percent by upgrading existing Beacon
code to include water injection capabilities normally used for power augmentation. Customer was pleased with the
results of the code upgrade and requested the software solution be installed during a planned site outage. The
upgrade was completed on time, within budget, and using pre-existing hardware located on the gas turbine skid.
• LM2500 – Developed dual-fuel capabilities for the LM2500+G4 Dry Low Emissions industrial gas turbine for use
on oil rigs and power plants. Incorporated logic used in existing gas turbines with dual-fuel capabilities to reduce
development time and cost by 40 percent.
