PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Rolls-Royce Corporation, Indianapolis, Indiana
2003 - Present
International manufacturing firm focused on aerospace engine manufacturing
and aftermarket services.
Sr. Mechanical Engineer - Cold Section Heat Transfer Analysis
Jan 05 - Present
Involved in research, planning, design and development of mechanical
products and systems such as instruments, controls, robots, engines,
machines and heat transfer systems for production, transmission,
measurement and use of energy. Applied relevant literature and
research to the planning, design, development, and testing of
mechanical systems, and engine hardware. Responsible for development,
implementation, and documentation of analysis techniques for various
heat transfer and secondary flow systems. Led and consulted on
design, heat transfer analysis efforts for projects through Product
Innovation Lifecycle Management (PILM) gate reviews and phases. Key
accomplishments include:
. Serve as key technical resource for improvement of heat transfer
methodology for matching thermal paint test data for F136 combustor
liners.
. Helped engine team develop a standard approach for combustor liner
heat transfer using statistical analysis methods.
. Involved in root cause analysis of F136 diffuser hardware to support
critical engine test.
. Served as local subject matter expert on coupling of finite element
analyses and computational fluid dynamics models.
. Developed Visual Basic macro to support analysis output cost reduction
efforts resulting in 40% savings on F136 whole engine model.
. Led group of engineers in creating a whole engine model to support
program management requirements .
. Established and reported cooling flow margins to program management
for redesign of 1st stage High Pressure turbine blades for AE1107
fleet engines.
. Conducted analysis of RR500 front frame secondary flow model to
support engine tests required by Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). Analytical efforts led to meeting FAA requirements and savings
of 1 million dollars.
. Authored engineering test guidelines and specifications for engine
components, and oversaw cold flow test of hardware to support
benchmarking of analytical models
. Researched engineering journal articles to assist in development of
global Rolls-Royce best practices for engine bearing compartments.
. Trained and mentored newly joined engineers, co-ops, and interns in
local operating procedures and use of in-house finite element codes.
Associate Mechanical Engineer - Thermal and Fluid Systems
May 03 - Jan 05
Analytical role responsible for detailed thermal, thermal-mechanical,
secondary flow, and clearance analysis on Rolls-Royce's fleet of
engine components and subsystems. Tasked with roles of increasing
importance to company which required larger degree of independent
decision making. Key accomplishments include:
. Recognized and awarded by Trent 1000 project group for heat transfer
analysis and contributions to project which was of great importance to
local Rolls-Royce site.
. Selected to participate in audit of analysis methods by global head of
Rolls-Royce heat transfer analysis, which resulted in no negative
findings.
. Authored and published Rolls-Royce technical design data reports to
provide guidance to design and project engineers.
. Presented results of T800 LP Turbine secondary flow engine test data
match to US ARMY auditors resulting in no major findings.
. Successfully matched 3007A1E fan thermal analysis to thermal dot data,
and predicted labyrinth seal clearance values and amount of hot air
ingress into fan cavity.
. Performed heat transfer analysis of 601K engine which correctly
predicted source of engine vibration that was resulting in delivered
engine rejections by customer.
