PROFESSIONAL COLLEGIATE EXPERIENCE

Associate Systems Engineer, CEB Metasystems June 2023 - May 2024 Aerospace Contracting Work

● Contracted as a key member of the V&V team which aided in the creation and documentation of system test plans and oversaw all aspects of V&V for multiple large aerospace projects

● Modeled Activity, Block, Internal Block, and Use Case diagrams using MBSE CAMEO

● Created automated V&V audits via functional logic/coding to ensure proper linkage between five layers of parent and children requirements and confirm presence of verification event, method, & statement

● Utilized audit data to produce analytical trackers, graphs, timelines, and slides for use in milestone project presentations

● Ran weekly meetings with System, Space, Ground, & Bus segment leads to cover action items for issues made apparent by V&V audit data

● Tasked with acting as the sole link between V&V and the IMS ensuring no delays in the test schedule

● Responsible for handling large lists of government action items post milestone presentations

● Constructed word templates using Apache Velocity in order to auto generate sell-off reports inside CAMEO In-house Business Development for Photoreal Synthetic Data

● Created photorealistic imagery tailored towards use in AI/ML training using Cinema 4D & Python

● Finished a multitude of scenes completing modeling, texturing, and lighting from the ground up

● Created a plethora of variation in scenes through material and scene variation controlled with Python

● Used turbulence models and displacement maps layered with erosion methods to imitate planet surfaces

● Produced animations for multiple scenes and black body renders for object detection and data annotation Thermal Systems Engineer, ZEVx June 2022 - August 2022

● Worked under lead Thermal Engineer as two person team to fully design and implement new HVAC loops into commercial fleet vehicles

● Designed HVAC component tests for performance and reliability purposes, handled processes from start to finish including concept creation, physical setup, data processing, and analysis

● Analyzed thermodynamic data of individual HVAC loop components and combined them in order to create a fully simulated 1-D HVAC loop to increase modularity of the system and simplify future design decisions

● Used Raptor-Service to monitor and verify the integration of different HVAC modes through the CAN

● Assigned full ownership of the AC system implementation into different vehicle platforms and created the necessary technical documentation for company records and third party installation

● Aided in the physical installation of new ZEVx’s HVAC loop into multiple vehicle platforms

● Managed procurement of HVAC components for testing and production purposes Research Assistant, Multiphase and Complex Fluid Flow Lab, CSULB May 2021 - May 2022

● Project head for a research project on turbulent flow in a Confined Impinging Jet Reactor (CIJR)

● Validated the accuracy of the turbulent flow test cases and prepared background research for the study of turbulence flow and its effects on nano-particle precipitation

● Created STL files in SOLIDWORKS in order to test mesh quality and convert them to simulation ready meshes using SnappyHexMesh

● Conducted background research to validate the geometry, solver, and initial conditions of the test cases

● Performed simulations using OpenFOAM on Linux in tandem with the CSULB High Performance Computing Cluster

● Displayed results for Velocity & Pressure Gradients inside the reactor and created powerpoints to update sponsors on the status of the project
