Summary of Qualifications
My strength is in leading multidisciplinary collaborative teams to design, analyze, develop, and verify airplane-level solutions. I have experience in airplane performance engineering, sales support, project management, data analysis, technical writing and presenting, problem solving, aeronautical engineering, wind tunnel testing, test planning, 2-D and 3-D computational fluid dynamics, and team building. I have worked on Boeing Commercial Airplane products and Boeing Defense, Space, and Security products, and have worked in Engineering, Test, and Technology.
EXPERIENCE
August 2003 to Present – The Boeing Company
December 2013 to Present – Aerodynamics, Noise, and Propulsion (ANP) Labs Customer Coordination, 777X and Product Development Focal
Safety Management System Focal
Leading project management of $50 million of Aerodynamics, Noise, and Propulsion testing for 777X program and Product Development. Simultaneously handling multiple complex projects.
Successful execution of the test program delivered data to 777X design loads cycle on program critical path
Identifies and manages changes to statement of work, assesses impact of changes, and incorporates changes into statement of work. Determines how changes modify the deliverables, resources, costs and schedules of projects. Leads identification of performance metrics. Manages cost and schedule of project from pre-planning stages through the life cycle of the project to closure. Assigns responsibility for activities to team members and ensure technical correctness and consistency of products and services. Compares actual results to baseline plan to assess project performance to plan, efficiencies, productivity and lessons learned; and identify corrective actions to improve project or team performance. Manages project risks, issues, and opportunities. Communicates regularly within ANP to leadership, 777X Lab Test Value Stream Leader, Test Program Integration, and Test Program Finance; communicates regularly externally to BCA Flight Sciences customers and leadership and frequently to 777X Program. Mentored new employees on group tools and processes
Engaged work team in Safety and Safety Culture communications, represented ANP capability in hazard identification workshops
-Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite tools, Visual Basic for Applications, and SQL was required to complete jobs.
January 2013 to December 2013 – 777X Configuration and Engineering Analysis
The 777X “is considered pivotal to Boeing's future.” The Wall Street Journal, November 6, 2013
Led the Wing Tip team for the 777X program.
- Managed cross-functional trade studies for folding wing tip configuration, used skills in aerodynamics, structures, mechanical systems, and integration. Studies resulted in mitigating risks to airplane non-recurring and recurring costs. Documented trade studies to manage airplane configuration. Scheduled multidisciplinary activities to meet program milestones. Delivered technical presentations to 777X program leadership.
Successful design of the Wing Tip is critical to the viability of the program.
- Led project management of trade study for noise reduction on approach, used skills in aerodynamics, community noise, and mechanical high lift systems. Analyzed system failure modes to increase safety. Applied company/industry standards to system design. Documented trade studies to manage airplane configuration. Scheduled multidisciplinary activities to meet program milestones. Delivered technical presentations to 777X program leadership.
Successful design of system allows airplane to meet key customer noise requirement.
-Coordinated and led large scale technical trade studies on center tank fuel systems with highly diverse and multidisciplinary teams. Documented trade studies to manage airplane configuration. Scheduled multidisciplinary activities to meet program milestones. Delivered technical presentations to 777X program leadership.
Successful design of system allows plane to carry increased payload.
-Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite tools was required to complete jobs.
July 2009 to January 2013 - Aerodynamic Performance, Sales/Fleet Support
-Partnered with Sales and Marketing team to provide customer-focused airplane performance analysis across the Boeing Commercial Product line, including 737, 747, 767, 777, and 787 families. Communicated technical data to internal and external customers.
Provided engineering data to customers in sales of 116 airplanes worth a list price of over $19 billion.
-Analyzed airplane performance of 737-900ERW during non-normal landing conditions. Created landing distance adjustment tables and published data to Performance Engineers Manual and Operations Manual.
Allowed airplane to continue safe flight and land in non-normal configurations.
-Taught performance engineering class to approximately 100 expert structural engineers so they could teach their teams about airplane performance.
-Mentored new employees on group tools and processes
-Communicated technical data to internal and external customers.
-Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite tools was required to complete jobs.
April 2005 to July 2009 - High Lift Aerodynamics, Product Development
-Led team in wind tunnel testing of 737 product development airplanes at National Transonic Facility in Hampton, Virginia.
-Built multidisciplinary wind tunnel team: wrote test plan and data acquisition documentation; designed model parts; coordinated with Boeing Aerodynamics, Noise, and Propulsion lab to build model; led execution of test; analyzed data; met test budget
-Published AIAA paper, presented at 2008 AIAA conference, session attended by approximately 50 members of industry.
Test discovered how to use current hardware in new way to gather higher fidelity data, reducing cost of test
-Executed 2-D and 3-D Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics studies using in-house and external tools in Windows and Linux environments. Used in design of wing leading and trailing edges for product development airplanes.
Computational Fluid Dynamics – experienced in vortex-lattice methods, 3-D panel methods, CFD++, STAR-CCM+, Aero Grid and Paneling System (AGPS).
-Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite tools was required to complete jobs.
