Professional Profile, continued

Rolls Royce Canada

Engine Owner, Industrial Trent Program 1999 to 2000

Managed development engine testing by ensuring test requirement compliance, coordinating test requests with other engine owners and CDS, preparing test schedules on time, and developing and conducting all tests within EDP program guidelines. Prepared comprehensive production test schedules for different engine configurations. Provided support for all testing, including EMS, CEMS operation, performance acceptance, data analysis, and troubleshooting.

Test Engineer, Industrial Trent 800 Program 1996 to 1999

Supervised engine testing by incorporating and ensuring compliance with all program requirements and EDP standards. Provided technical support for performance and facility configuration and improvement efforts. Developed detailed instrumentation lists for development and production engines. Ensured that instrumentation calibration requirements were met for specific test requirements for all development engines. Conducted production engine pass-off tests and data packages for engineering and the customers. Eliminated low frequency high vibration above 52 Mw, eliminated hydraulic oil leak from the actuator hoses on the BOV actuators by replacing silicon based hoses, stopped engine running due to reverse gas flowing to the fuel manifold,due to flawed sealing design, prevented inlet door collapsing due to severe winds.

Communicated with the engineering group, facility engineering, DAS, and the testing team to define key test requirements and coordinate planning. Reported engine test data analysis, highlighting key metrics to management personnel on a daily basis. Integrated configuration changes into production test schedules. Evaluated data and identified discrepancies to mitigate inefficiencies while ensuring engine, control (EMS), and emission system functionality.
