Experience:

Kelly Mechanical Services 08/09 – present

Technical Associate

Technical HVAC servicing. Repair and replacement of new and existing systems. Both residential and business contracts.

Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT), 05/07 – 06/09

System Engineer –James Web Space Telescope.

Led a team of engineers in the setup of a cryogenics laboratory for the Micro Shutter Subsystem. Developed a plan for the qualification and acceptance of hardware. Generated a coherent set of operating procedures for mechanical, electrical, and software teams. Oversaw the development of an overall integration and test flow plan for the delivery of spaceflight hardware. Provided the guidance to make a unified team presentation for design reviews and the hardware delivery end item data package.

Wrote the purchase specification for a cryogenic cooling system. Wrote operating procedures for running a cryogenic thermal vacuum chamber and cleanroom facility.

Led a team of engineers to Friedrichshafen, Germany to complete mechanical shockenvironmental testing on the MSA. The test required the presence of a skeleton crew to perform system health checks before and after the environmental testing. As such the trip also served as a “shakedown cruise” for the launch delivery team. A number of transportation and handling procedures were tried, tested and refined.

Developed procedures and oversaw the product fabrication and test flow of the overall Micro Shutter subsystem along with the end item delivery package. The effort ensompassed a fabrication, integration and test of mechanical, electrical and software subsystems. Additionally led the system engineering effort supporting the mechanical engineering team for the Micro Shutter Assembly (MSA). Successfully performed requirements tracking and verification thoughout the mechanical fabrication process with an emphasis on environmental qualification and acceptance testing.
