CONTRACT - Mechanical Design Engineer, Indianapolis, Indiana, (11/2012 -
Present)
. Responsible for evaluating and redesign of existing transmissions,
structures, and drives (primarily shafts) of the new Rolls-Royce
Trent XWB Gas Turbine Engine.
. General Duties include: providing linear and radial tolerance stack
up calculations in order to determine interference fits of
assemblies within the engine, finding effective ways to reduce
costs without having an impact in the overall performance of the
engine for Rolls-Royce's Cost Excellence program, and evaluations
of thermal and pressure differentials inside the transmissions to
determine if the redesign would have significant impact on the
engines performance.

Aerostructure Design Engineer Liaison, Stratford, Connecticut, (06/2012 -
09/2012)
Classified Clearance Granted - VH (Presidential Helicopter)
. Responsible for redesigning and evaluation of Black Hawk, Sea Hawk
Helicopters and their derivatives, which include Final Assembly,
Major Assembly and Sub-Assembly, using CATIA V4 & V5 (Surface &
Solid Modeling), Enovia.PM, LCA, and Matrix One to support shop
floor and supplier off site.
. Responsible for providing engineering support for offsite
engineering team, coordinating between engineering stress, fatigue,
Materials & Processing (M&P), Configuration Management Organization
(CMO), and manufacturing to design and develop parts/assemblies to
support production shop floor and off site global suppliers.
. Responsible for new design of aft avionics door gutter due to water
integrity issues of the aircraft. General Duties include:
preliminary design creation to part tested on the aircraft during
water test procedures to determine the best form, fit, and
function. Final design of the gutter was approved by the platform
engineering team and the new design was implemented on all Black
Hawk model aircrafts.
