Work History

Design Engineer for 7495 Electric Rope Shovel

Caterpillar
Tucson, United States
06.2023 - Current
  • Developed PLC ladder logic (using Agile Software Development) for the shovel drive system, while primarily focusing on condition monitoring and machine status for new technology developments.
  • Conducted machine validation at the mine site to fully test new software versions being downloaded onto the equipment.
  • Analyzed condition monitoring data on the shovels to determine if the machine is operating as expected, while troubleshooting the shovel to identify the software and hardware issues that need to be corrected.
  • Developed technical manuals for back-end and front-end software applications.
  • Developed electrical schematics and built the electrical system for condition monitoring in the lab to simulate real-world applications of the shovel.
  • Developed troubleshooting documentation for new Conditional Monitoring software and electrical applications, for field engineers to help when commissioning or updating the shovel.
  • Used Creo to update shovel schematics when new technology for electrical systems was developed.

Engineering Project Experience

Desert Wave AUVSI Robotics Team
Mesa, United States
08.2020 - 05.2023
  • Developed Pneumatics code to open and close solenoids for the team's AUV robot, which allowed the robot to release torpedoes underwater (using C++).
  • Developing machine learning software using the TensorFlow library for the AUV robot's vision simulation to identify objects and images underwater (using Python).
  • Developing thruster code that uses redundancy and can change the orientation of the thrusters when one or more thrusters are not in use (using C++).
  • Developed sensor fusion code for the AUV's IMU system (using C++).
  • Developed telemetry code that collects data from the IMU, thruster, and pneumatics, and sends those packets over to the mainboard on the AUV (using C++ and Java).

Mechanical Engineer (E-5)

US Navy
San Diego, United States
03.2014 - 03.2018
  • Worked on air compressors, air conditioning units, diesels, pumps, gas turbines, and additional engine room equipment.
  • Used and created tech manuals, blueprints, and diagrams to perform preventive/corrective scheduled maintenance.
  • Submitted job reports and ordered/inventoried equipment parts, resulting in savings of over $100 million by performing preventive and corrective maintenance, and creating piping and equipment diagrams for newly installed equipment on board by following the technical equipment alignment operation manuals.
  • Scheduled preventive and corrective maintenance for the auxiliary work center, in accordance with the equipment technical manuals.
  • Conducted hands-on training for over 100 personnel on preventive and corrective maintenance, reading, and understanding equipment readings.
  • Supervised the Engine Room control center onboard the ship to observe individuals on watch, and perform operations to shut down equipment and activate the ship's firemain system to combat Engine Room fires.
