PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

UNITED SPACE ALLIANCE, KSC, FL

2002 - Present

System Engineer III

Maintain, repair, troubleshoot and operate complex electrical/mechanical PLC

systems that supports shuttle launch and shuttle operations at the launch

pad.

* Troubleshot the OWP system to determine the root cause of failure for the

PLC devicenet compact I/O block and limit switches, which resulted in

repairing the system and preventing future anomalies.

* Written and revised streamlined RCM procedures for shuttle launch pad

support equipment, based on FMEA, which resulted in mission critical

milestones being met during launch operations.

* Instructed Electrical Technicians on proper Preventative Maintenance (PM)

procedure to ensure compliance with NASA requirements and OSHA and NFPA

standards.

* Mentored 3 electrical engineering co-ops for 6 terms to train them on USA

systems, procedures and safety/quality standards, which resulted in full time

job offers.

* Created standardized procedures, using Maximo, for electrical lockout

tagout for various systems, which resulted in a reduction of 1 hour of

engineering time per Corrective Maintenance (CM) work order.

* Complied with company budgetary guidelines when purchasing parts and

materials to repair, maintain and improve electromechanical systems.

* Supervised and provided technical guidance for up to 6 Field Technicians

during troubleshooting resolving complex technical issues, which expedited

repairs and ensured system or equipment s proper functionality.

* Collaborated with Design Engineering on the modifications to the HMI

electrical controls for the Rotating Service Structure (RSS), generating more

detailed feedback for predictive maintenance.

* Prevented a project delay by proficiently using company drawings and

manufacture?s manuals to perform repairs to the Orbiter Weather Protection

(OWP).

* Coordinated with schedulers, planners, pad leaders, and managers to ensure

PM completion during scheduled timeframe.

* Served as Acting Manager for 34-person team during Manager s absence,

ensuring smooth, ongoing departmental operations. Prioritized, assigned and

monitored team assignments.

* Directly contributed to achievement of launch schedule by ensuring

understanding and clear communication with management, NASA, and co-workers

on the status of systems.

* Received individual and team recognition by NASA for meeting contractual

commitments by supporting space shuttle operations safely and meeting major

milestones.

* Contributing member of 6-person Lean Six Sigma team that conducted a

project, which analyzed and recommended improvements to the process of

obtaining waste water measurements that would reduce man hours by

approximately 45 minutes and provide real-time data feedback.

* Operated and maintained Compact Logix PLCs that controlled QTY 8 DC 15 hp

motors and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on a redundant system that

displayed data feedback to a panelview Human Machine Interface (HMI).

* Verified proper installation of equipment by performing operational checks

on systems after completing modifications.

* Created a safe work environment when in close proximity to multimillion

dollar flight hardware to protect both personnel and property.

THE BOEING COMPANY, KSC, FL

2001 - 2002

Engineer/Scientist I

Worked with GE Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controllers to design Human

Machine Interface (HMI). Redesigned the electrical system on Ground Support

Equipment (GSE) for space station hardware using electrical schematics.
