Senior Electrical/Mechanical Engineer

Responsible for overseeing the design and development of NASA’s OSAM 1 and TESTBED system. OSAM 1 is a robotic spacecraft that refuels and manages satellites to extend their lifespan.

Involved in cable/harness design using PTC Creo, AutoCAD; responsible for generating complete electrical wiring harness designs (3D) associated with 2D drawings.

Assist in developing test evaluation & validation of electrical systems & related parts.

Design & development of wiring harnesses from start to finish, including the selection of components for cables.

Responsible for providing mechanical design such as sheet metal, detail drawings including assembly and top assembly to support TESTBED, OSAM-1. All designs met NASA, Military and GD&T standards.

Duties included meetings with the Mechanical, Electrical and Structure departments to help develop more efficient systems which included supporting the engineering and design drafting department. Assisted in creating charts to manage progress and submit to management for scheduling. Responsible for reviewing drawings to meet NASA, Military and GD&T standards.

Checking of mechanical drawings such as assembly, sub-assembly, detail and shop drawing to meet NASA and Mil-standards applying Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T), DOD-100, and DOD-1000. Also responsible for checking electrical designs such as packing designs and laying out schematic diagrams, interconnection diagrams, wiring diagrams, cable layout, cable connectors, cable brackets, switches, plugs, circular connectors and panels.
