CAREER CHRONOLOGY

Hawker Pacific Aerospace Sun Valley, CA April 2010 – Present

Engineer II: Production Engineering, Planning (PEP)

Co-leader of the Douglas Program for configuration of landing gear for various aircraft types

Lead/manage automation of Life Limited Report, Repair Record, and Service Bulletin Report for landing gear parts to improve efficiency and accuracy. My ideas have been implemented in the rest of Hawker’s aircraft programs.

I coordinate solutions to technical issues with Original Equipment Manufacturer and Designated Engineering Representative during overhaul and conversion from one aircraft type to another.

Submit Internal Discrepancy Reports to Boeing and ELEB on parts that exceed Component Maintenance Manual dimension limits or have no documented repair.

Responsible for maintaining Master Routers for Regional Jets Program to ensure lean operations and compliance with the Component Maintenance Manuals. Process owner for Regional Jets Program picture sheets and IDR Worksheets.

Cymer Center for Control Systems and Dynamics La Jolla, CA June 2008 – December 2009

Research Engineer

Sponsored by Office of Naval Research Grant to simulate, control and optimize an 8 DOF system to stabilize angle amplitudes using inventive Extremum Seeking algorithm

Lead/managed investigation on passive and active control methods. Modeled a 3 body interconnected craft system in SimMechanics and through deriving the complex, highly nonlinear, implicit 2nd order system of equations of motion

Simulated various shock absorber (passive) positions applied to system and optimized configuration to reduce financial and energy cost

Simulated control moment gyroscope applied to vessel to reduce roll motion. Derived equations of motion, designed state feedback controller and used a numerical solver software (Matlab) to solve and plot results.

I invented a new application for Extremum Seeking to optimize gyroscope flywheel design parameters

SPAWAR Autonomous UAV Mission Systems San Diego, CA December 2007 – June 2008

Internship

Redesigned UAV landing platform and discovered innovative centering mechanism design to refuel UAV in between reconnaissance missions

Utilized campus machine shop equipment: i.e. mill and lathe to fabricate metal parts and modeled design using computer aided design software: SolidWorks

Performed energy and force analysis on actuator to ensure feasibility of design

Northrop Grumman Rancho Bernardo, CA June 2006 – September 2006/June 2007 – September 2007

Internship

Provided support to the sector Non-Advocate Review team.

Managed creation of the NAR Handbook to streamline the process and shorten TAT

Developed/designed initial talent pool database for Program Management and conference survey report for executive analysis. The Analysis tool I created is still used to today to quantify conference survey results due to its automated design.

University of California San Diego – Physics Department La Jolla, CA January 2005 – December 2007

Cosmology Lab Researcher

Designed and built mechanical devices using SolidWorks and machine shop i.e. wired grids using 25 micron wire thickness using a slow moving lathe and creative shock absorbing device to prevent wire snapping, assembled circuit boards and custom made cable connectors

Responsible for maintaining and enhancing FTS (Fourier transform spectrometer) that is taken to South Pole to help measure red shift of universe through high intensity telescope

Mechatronics Robot Project La Jolla, CA September 2007 – December 2007

Objective was to sense colored block configuration then drew image on drawing surface

Programmed in PBASIC micro-controller (PIC) for sensors, electric motors, used laser cutting tool

Execute a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Design For Assembly (DFA)

Rehabilitation Engineering Research Competition La Jolla, CA September 2005 – June 2006

Team received $2,000 to make a medication cutter/dispenser device for people with disabilities; created product from initial idea into conception

Fabricated prototype pill holder and approved final CAD designs
