Work Experience 

    8/2002-Present              (Company) GA

                 Aeronautical Engineer

The main task that I was involved in while I was at (Company) was helping to install the FLIR system onto the C-130 aircraft. I helped to design several of the boxes for some of the electronic components that made up part of the FLIR system. I was also responsible for the attachment design, stress analysis, drawing creation, and written reports for these components. I preformed hand stress calculations for the AAQ-22 adapter ring that held the FLIR turret onto the aircraft. I was responsible for generating 3-D models for FEM analysis using the PRO-E MECHANICA package. I was also involved with reviewing the aerodynamic load report for the FLIR turret.

6/2001-5/2002      Middle River Aircraft, Baltimore, MD

                  (Contractor for Echelon service company)

 Designer/Engineer

During my employment period with MRAS I was part of a 7 man design team for a package of doors from the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter. My main responsibility was the E-Bay door re- design. The original design for this door did not take into account maintainability and damage tolerance issues. It was also 20% heavier than the new design required. The composite honeycomb core used to stiffen the door panels also posed challenges in forming to the tight bend radius required. I participated in examining several options to design a door that would meet the structural requirements, but was also able to be manufactured economically. I was involved in several studies used to determine the minimum number of composite plies that would meet the structural requirements, the deflection requirements, along with the very tight weight requirements. I gained extensive 3D modeling experience using the SKIN, SOLIDE, SOLIDM, SURF1, SURF2, FIBERSIM, KINEMATICS and the KINEMUSE functions in CATIA.  I was charged with the 3D modeling of the E-bay door, the installation drawing, the assembly drawing, the ply lay-up books, the BOM, weight estimation, setting up Power point presentations for design reviews, and coordinating data with the structural analyst. I also helped with designing some of the machined fittings and the door struts for the Weapons Bay Door. I helped to design the hinge-spring mechanism for the Main Landing Gear Door/ Flapper Door. I also designed the fittings and hinges on the Main Landing Gear Door/ Flapper Door.

1/2001-4/2001            Lockheed Martin Marietta, GA

                              (Contractor for CDI Corp)

Designer/Engineer

During my employment period with Lockheed Martin, the main project I worked on was the wire harness diagrams for the COLT system. I also had an opportunity to gain experience with schematic diagrams for electronic filters, and other circuit cards as well. I was involved in designing a heat sink for a component of the COLT. I also designed some 3D models for some of the cable connectors. I helped to design some of the rubber seals that were used with the glass displays. ASME Y14.5 GD&T was the standard used in dimensioning these seals, due to dimensional deviations due to temperature fluctuations. I am also familiar with standard CATIA solid modeling procedures including, but not limited to SOLIDE, SURF1, SURF2, AUXVIEW1, AUXVIEW2, and DIMENS2. I am also familiar with standard machining drafting procedures. I am familiar with National Aerospace Standard Fasteners, along with MIL-HNDBK- 5H for aerospace structural materials.

7/2000-11/2000 (Company filed Chapter 13) Ayres Corp, Albany, GA

Designer/Engineer

      During my employment period with Ayres Corp, the main project I worked on was the assembly diagrams for the fuselage of the LM-200 airplane. I helped to design some of the bulkhead fixtures. The bulkhead for the rear of the plane had to be moved back 10 inches to accommodate additional cargo volume. This involved becoming familiar with seat track installations, HI-LOK fasteners, NAS rivets bulkhead fittings, structural frames, bulkhead gussets, and shear web design. This also involved helping to design and place additional longerons to help stiffen the bottom part of the fuselage. I had to do some stress analysis to determine the sizing for some of the shear webs, along with the sizing of some of the floor columns. I also became familiar with MIL HNDBK 5-H standards for aerospace materials. I am familiar with flat pattern layouts. I am also familiar with standard machining drafting procedures. I have also had experience with EO forms, and Bill of Materials forms.
