MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Aerospace Engineering / New Product Development & Design / TQM / Materials / Bilingual

R&D / Multi-Testing & Failure Analysis/ Safety & Regulatory Compliance / Project Management

As a disciplined engineer, I designed and tested aircraft products for optical, thermal and vibrational output. I also inspected products, services, processes and programs to evaluate and advance quality and performance of mechanical systems used in military aircraft.

* Designing and managing projects for military and civil usage

* Identifying cost reduction opportunities

* Conducting sensory analysis, experimental designs and statistical evaluation

* Mentoring, motivating and building high-performance teams for execution and delivery

* Supervising and managing detailed research conducts

I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New Hampshire and a BS in Aviation Management from Daniel Webster College and am bilingual in both German and English. My certifications include both Commercial Pilot and Advanced Flight Instructor-Airplane Single/Multiengine Instrument Rating.

Technical Skills: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, ASME Y14.5M and Y14.5.1M, SolidWorks, Pro/E, AutoCAD Inventor, Matlabs, Simulink, Labview, Relex, Mechanical Desktop, MathCAD, Algor FEA, ANSYS FEA and ISO 9000 certified.

SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Successfully increased equipment efficiency. GE Transportation needed to install larger fuel lines without increasing aircraft weight/load. Researched and determined appropriate materials for stress in aircraft wings. Found a metal mixture that is lighter and stronger and can be exposed to a temperature range from -300F to +300 F for the larger fuel line. Led to longer efficient routes without having to stop to refuel. Developed and applied specialized valves for improved flow control.

Created prototype, eliminating electrical system failure. The interface between new electrical and mechanical systems at Dynamic Research was causing shorts in electrical system under normal conditions. Built a full prototype, changing system design. Updated the new electrical system, increasing efficiency by 40%, eliminating system break down.

Provided accurate stress test results. Calculations were not precise enough and errors appeared when stress tests were performed at Meggitt Avionics Inc. Introduced Finite Element Analysis program to engineers. Reduced time to check calculations and determined additional stress factors to instruments and equipment.

Tested fight instrument from start to finish. A newly developed Dynamics product needed FAA certification and documentation. Attached the instrument to an airplane used by the flight school located nearby and tested the instrument with success. Certified, documented and delivered the product to the company on the contract date.
