Brea, CA 92821
Sr. Mechanical Engineer
Company's products: Radars.
Company's products: Radar tracking systems and precision guided munitions
for DoD
Generated housing for the Prototype and First Article for the
Receiver/Exciter Unit, which is subsystem for ammunition tracking system. A
few of the following components form a part of the overall assembly:
Chassis, Upper Cold Plate, Lower Cold Plate, LRU-Low Voltage Power Supply,
ten (10) different 3U-Cards, Backplane Board.
Using Cosmos Finite Element Analysis software ran structural, vibration and
thermal analysis for the REX Unit, and individual 3U-Cards. Generated a
complete mechanical bill of materials for the REX Unit including hardware.

(Contracting for Aerotek)
1971 E. 4th St.
Santa Ana, CA 92705
Mechanical Engineer
Company's products: Power Distribution Boxes, Contactors, Relays.
Reviewed customer's SOW and through Finite Element Analysis (using ANSYS
software) conducted structural stress, modal simulation and vibration
analysis for existing line of Power Distribution Units (PDU's), used on
helicopters. After completing PDU's analysis and finding structural,
vibration and deflection deficiencies, suggested methods to improve Units
structural deficiencies, thus altering the chassis natural frequency and
removing it from customer's driven sine tones, allowing these units to pass
vibration levels mandates. This exercise was followed by a CDR, then wrote
a SOP that was forwarded to upper management and customer. After CDR
approval modified PDU's 3-D models and generated 2-D machined drawings.
Re-designed Fault Current Detector (FCD) used to protect technicians from
electrical shock. Generated product specification for FCD.

generated and continuously updated design documents and project schedule to
assure adherence to customer-and-company mandates. Once a delivery date was
established maintained constant and open communication with upper-
management, engineering staff, production floor and client either by email,
telephone or person-to-person. Participated in the system's Critical Design
Review (CDR) providing information pertaining to SOW's and project
schedule.
Helped identified Long Lead Items and worked with purchasing agent to
