career accomplishments                

 

  two-way airborne datalink transceiver (mlx 770/780): conceptualized, designed, and developed hardware for transceiver and successfully secured on-time completion and product launch.

c      researched all materials and manufacturing processes while creating 2-d and 3-d mechanical drawings, prototypes, and simulations.

c      performed testing and liaised with quality assurance team and associated project vendors.

  airborne traffic awareness product (tas) modification: fielded client request to augment product to specified vibration characteristics and developed findings report that led to finalization of product.

c      determined possible material and design options to maximize robustness of product under severe vibration conditions, beyond initial specifications; outlined methodologies and materials required to achieve results.

  multi-legacy-system merger: managed and updated electronics enclosure design and pcb assembly drawings and documents related to airborne traffic awareness systems, multi-hazard displays, and severe weather warning systems to comply with avidyne manufacturing practices.

c      provided extensive mechanical engineering support throughout transfer and collaborated with manufacturing, quality assurance, and vendors to troubleshoot and implement minor changes.

  finite-element-based simulation tool: programmed tool for predicting pressures and fill patterns for in-mold coating (imc) of thermoplastic substrates to avoid coating leakages and maintain surface quality; code is currently utilized by leading vendor to evaluate automotive part designs.

c      planned and conducted constant flow rate in-mold coating experiments to validate code.

  mesh modification program: created program to allow moldflow to predict fill patterns of in-mold coating (imc) for sheet molding compound (smc) products; method was later adopted by leading automotive manufacturers for body panel simulations.
