bill of materials to improve/modify existing equipment. Tools used for

design, Inventor, Auto-Cad.

1/2007 - 8/2012 Mechanical Engineer

Hamilton Sundstrand, Houston, Texas

Lead design engineer for Gaseous Helium cryogenic shrouds. Designed

shroud system components and major assemblies from conceptual design to

PDR to support James Webb Telescope Space environment testing in

Chamber A at JSC. Designed vacuum jacked piping for Liquid Nitrogen

distribution system for the test chamber. Performed sustaining

engineering by creating engineering design change notice to create as

is drawing and bill of materials of components and large assemblies. .

Developed shroud design requirements. Collaborated with thermal and CFD

group to optimize the Helium shroud performance. Designed vacuum jacked

piping system to support the liquid nitrogen thermal siphon system.

5/2001 - 1/2007 Staff Engineer

United Space Alliance, Webster, Texas

Lead Small Area Repair (SAR) Orbiter RCC repair project by providing

CATIA models of SAR component assembly for concept verification.

Develop Concept of Operations document. Created flow down requirements

verification matrix for SAR project. As a vehicle integration project

lead for Orbiter Improved Wing Leading Edge Sensor system (IWLESS) I

was responsible overseeing the implementation of the system hardware in

the vehicle. Lead Digital Shuttle project by reviewing Shuttle Drawing

System (SDS) drawings and creating hour estimation to convert 2D SDS

drawing format to 3D CATIA models. Lead Electric Auxiliary Power Unit

(EAPU) project by providing conceptual designs for integrating the

hardware in the 1307 bulkhead of the Orbiter vehicle. Supported in

creating various project related documents

Developed test plans and verification procedures of various projects.

Participated on all projects System Engineering IPTs and worked on

related actions/studies.

10/1998 - 4/2001 Mechanical Engineer

Johnson Engineering, Webster, Texas

Responsible for creating Pro-E designs to fabricate various

International Space Station (ISS) hardware and mission specific Neutral

buoyancy laboratory (NBL) and other trainers used for training

astronauts. Design simulation structure and components of all

outfitting of the ISS P3 truss. This included crew and equipment

transport assembly (CETA), unpressurized logistic cargo carrier

(ULCAS), segment-to-segment mechanical assembly, umbilical mechanical

assembly (UMA) and support structure, remote power control module

(RPCM) housing assembly, mobile transport rail assembly and S-band

antenna. As a team member, I was responsible for designing various

components for a full scale mockup of ISS P3 Truss; specifically

structural beams, bulkheads, longerons, hinges and connecting pins.

Designed various ground handling equipment for flight hardware. Design

work also included engineering evaluation and selection of materials,

estimation of material cost and preparation of design packages for NASA

reviews. Additionally I provided liaison-engineering support to the

manufacturing shop.
