SUMMARY

Senior Mechanical Engineer experienced at designing complex structures

using an array of materials and technologies including composites, metallic

sandwich structures, machined parts, and welded assemblies. Intuitive

problem solver with demonstrated ability to work on state-of-the-art

designs in the high-tech and highly competitive aerospace and defense

industries. Proven track record performing in a team environment with a

strong focus on meeting business objectives.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

BAE Systems - U.S. Combat Systems (formerly United Defense L.P.),

Fridley, MN 2000 - 2009

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Responsible for structural and mechanical design of gun and magazine

components for the Navy's Advanced Gun System used on the DDG1000 stealth

destroyer including 3D CAD work using Pro/Engineer, finite element

analysis using ANSYS DesignSpace, technical presentations, project

management and leadership tasks, drawing preparation including geometric

dimensioning and tolerancing, and substantial manufacturing support.

. Evaluated and analyzed the preliminary design of key structural

components within the ammo handling assembly for the Navy's Advanced Gun

System (AGS) magazine. Identified structural deficiencies and

implemented changes early in the detail design that improved performance

and reduced the amount of formal analysis time needed to help keep the

project on schedule and within budget.

. Experienced in designing stiffness critical structures necessary for

servo controllability of hard mounted electro/mechanical equipment and

dynamic structural components. Designed a dynamic ammo handling

component for an explosive shock environment that met motion control

requirements during testing. Design efforts included generation of

critical load cases and performance of FEA.

. Part of the team that developed the Engineering Demonstration Model (EDM)

of the AGS that was used for live fire demonstrations - a major program

milestone. Efforts included design and analysis, informal trade studies,

drawings, single axis testing, and assembly and production support. The

AGS is the most advanced weapon of its kind and the EDM was filmed for

the Future Weapons television program on the Discovery Channel.

. Successfully designed a very large and technically challenging heavy

weight shock test fixture with multi-axis structural frequency

requirements that passed government review and received approval for use

in shock testing of the AGS magazine ammo handling assembly. Equipment

performance after explosive shock testing of this assembly was a critical

contractual element for program continuation.

. Designed an economical repair to correct a structural deficiency for a

critical component on the EDM gun that allowed functional testing to

proceed on schedule. This repair contributed to a successful performance

demonstration for the Navy that resulted in winning the production

contract.

The Boeing Company - Military Airplanes Division, Seattle, WA 1986 -

2000

Structures Design Engineer 1993 - 2000

Responsible for the structural and mechanical design of airframe

components for the Air Force's F-22 Raptor including 3D CAD work using

CATIA, technical presentations, drawing preparation including tolerance

analysis, vendor oversight and coordination, and substantial

manufacturing support.

. Extensive design experience including being part of the team that

successfully solved the challenging problem of designing the engine bay

doors for the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter to be both structural and

interchangeable. This significant achievement contributed to the overall

performance of the world's premier fighter plane.
