Work History
Structural Engineer III
Northrop Grumman
10.2021 - Current
- Lead a team of 10 structural engineers to provide technical guidance, updates to leadership on completion times, and production support.
- Generated accurate structural analysis reports outlining repair design options, assumptions, free body diagrams, calculations, and conclusions.
- Performed primarily composite analysis related to out of autoclave composite joints (scarfs, pi preforms), and the associated MRB defects encountered during inspection.
- Extracted applicable loads from Finite Element Models and appropriately applied them to traditional hand calculation methods as well as company-imposed procedures.
- Utilized Fibersim and NX to capture appropriate geometry and engineering requirements in analysis.
- Created and modified Finite Element Models to determine impacts from MRB defects.
