Project Engineer: Contractor: ITT/Excelis, Rochester, NY (6/2012 – 2/2014)

Project lead of a multidisciplinary team through all the stages of system life cycle on parallel projects: concept design, risk assessment, requirements, specifications, development, testing, prototypes, bench tests, installation and long term technical product support. Used DFMA to investigate root cause of design issues and to drive simplicity into designs. Provided technical support to cross-functional integrated product teams (IPT) to insure proper system integration using Pro-Engineer. Managed the specifications and integration of common components into multiple system architectures. Conducted trade studies to verify system concepts meet customer requirements.

Used FEA analysis (Pro/Engineer Mechanica and ANSYS) to validate design work. Using WindChill to coordinate design changes with other Integrated Product Teams to support technical, budget, and schedule performance objectives.

Senior Mechanical Engineer: UTC Aerospace Systems, East Hartford, CT (2/2010 – 6/2012)

Mechanical design lead of externals components, tube (fuel, lube, and air), support brackets, electrical harnesses, and structure analysis. Developed turbine engine components to support new product introduction. Participated in formal and informal design reviews for the development and approval of engineering changes. Coordinated part procurement and prototype construction. Supported product improvement initiatives to improve component quality and reliability, reduce scrap, improve delivery, and cost reductions. Conducted Technical trade studies, demonstrate optimal component and subsystem packaging configurations.

Senior Mechanical Engineer: Rampart Global, Contracted to Force Protection, Charleston, SC (5/2008 – 2/2010)

Lead system engineer responsible for the interface between Bill of Material (BOM) and Vehicle level master model. Completed integrated design changes to meet product cost and schedule objectives using SolidWorks and TeamCenter. Used EVMS to manage project cost and schedule deliverables.
