Work History

INTEGRATION DESIGN ENGINEER

NORTHROP GRUMMAN
04.2021 - Current
  • Responsible for maintaining and improving part designs and systems for integration between hypersonic missile stages (CPS)
  • Specialist for corrosion mitigation and resistance measures across all stages of design assemblies (CPS, NGI, etc)
  • Verified and implemented compliance to customer supplied Interface Control Documents (ICD) through tolerance stacks, Design Analysis Reviews, and Internal ICD updates.
  • Modernized decades-old designs for igniters (D5 FS/SS), bringing them up to 2024 design standards and investigating areas in the design that could be improved.
  • Established strong working relationships with customers and internal stakeholders through exceptional communication skills, fostering trust and collaboration.

TOOL QUALITY ENGINEER

NORTHROP GRUMMAN
02.2019 - 04.2021
  • Responsibilities include MPBD and WSI (CPS) rocket motor assembly and all NGSS commercial programs tooling quality at Bacchus
  • Lead investigations of manufacturing issues to determine cause and corrective actions that contribute to decreases in repeated product defects
  • Lead training efforts to teach new Quality Engineers GD&T, AS9100 standards, and Material Review Board standards for addressing defects,rework, and repair efforts.
  • Actively contribute to product defect reduction through innovative ideas using additive manufacturing (example: custom O-ring installation aids for tooling to prevent damage prior to o-ring installation)
  • Ensure the success of first use tooling through source inspections and communication with suppliers, coordination with tooling, process, and safety engineers


PROCESS ENGINEER

NORTHROP GRUMMAN
