Work History
Cognizant Engineer
423 Supply Chain Management
02.2023 - Current
- Developed inspection plan to determine reusability of KC-135 Stab Trim Brake Races; data assessment showed that KC-135 brake races could be reused, eliminating significant supply constraints and enabled uninterrupted mission support, while saving $400K annually
- Coordinated with production management to develop strategies to minimize production impact of technical problems, including evaluation and shot term adjustment of test requirements
- Initiated and chaired meetings integrating technical and supply chain support, management briefings, and production scheduling
Liaison Engineer (Delegated Engineering Authority)
OO-ALC
03.2019 - 02.2023
- Created Excel based fault isolation and troubleshooting database in coordination with mechanics and testers to determine most likely cause of all known failure modes of an aircraft actuator and used this to determine first and second rework replacement
- Increased first pass yield from less than 50% to 95% within a 3 month period
- Determined root cause of complex F15 Rudder Actuator null shift problem by analyzing LVDT output voltage change over time by comparing returned units to test records, created process to adjust LVDT and return units to service, saving over $100K in labor and material costs
Process Engineer
309 Commodities Maintenance Group
06.2015 - 03.2019
- Investigated F15 Rudder Actuator operational failures; analyzed data from operational check failures during installation by field technicians correlated with back shop data, determined root cause was significant error of rotary position measurement during back shop testing leading to a misadjusted rudder null position setting
- Mitigated risk by determining the range of error and reducing test limits appropriately to ensure rudder would be within acceptable tolerance, set up requirement to have engineering review all rudder test results to ensure continued test fidelity until new fixture was brought online
- Led the design, manufacture, and integration of the new fixture with existing test equipment, including control system programming and revision of software, improving up time by 90% with improved test accuracy and repeatability
- Setup overhaul processes for multiple aircraft actuator assemblies and subassemblies to include overhaul and repair and testing
