Extracted Catia V5 product and part data from Team Center PDM system and

prepared a properly formatted file for conversion to the Enovia PDM system.

Job required strict adherence to customer standards and daily coordination

with an off-site team using Powerpoint and Excel office tools. Also

completed Catia MBD (model based definition) course.

Contracted to CDI Aerospace, Tempe, AZ - 9/10 to 12/10

Created ceramic lay-up tools for composite airframe structure using Catia

V5R18 software. Responsibilities include optimizing tool design to reduce

material waste while maintaining functionality.

SHEET 2

Contracted to GKN Chem-tronics, El Cajon, CA - 4/04 to 1/05

Designed an aluminum cowl door for a jet engine nacelle as a replacement

for a composite version. Tasks included producing smooth free-form surfaces

from CMM point data, creating mid-plane surface models of composite and

metallic doors to support stress analyst, constructing 3-D solid models of

the new metallic design and creating detail drawings using Unigraphics NX2

software.

Contracted to D3 Technologies, San Diego, CA - 6/03 to 1/04

Converted drawings of complicated aircraft machined bulkheads into accurate

3-D parametric solid models for finite element analysis. Also involved in

analysis and design activity to resolve an aircraft wing structural fatigue

cracking issue. Duties included building 3-D model of the sheet metal wing
