2009-2019
High tolerance mechanical design of helicopter searchlight pointing and focusing mechanism and sealed metal enclosures for the controlling electronics, also injection molded plastic handheld enclosures for the cockpit control. Designed injection molded, formed and machined lighting components, concept presentation through flight qualification. Seating and interior lighting components for Boeing first and business class 777-300ER, 787, 777X, Airbus A350 and A380, as well as FAA compliant safety and emergency lighting and flight deck lighting. Also did wiring diagrams and assembly jigs for shop and did renderings and built prototypes for sales effort. Developed compliance matrix, kept all designs to schedule, run all designs through vibration, structural and touch temperature and operational temperature simulation. At completion of design, designed test fixtures and put all assemblies through engineering tests to prove they would make it through qualification and meet customer’s expectations. Used Moldflow to pre-qualify plastic parts for molding. Created bills of materials and ECOs using electronic PLM/PDM system.
