• Build Reliability Engineer - Propulsion Components / Valves

  • Jun 2020 - May 2021

  Evaluate and mitigate risk on the propulsion components of Falcon 9 launch vehicle, Merlin engines, and Dragon at an assembly and testing level. This role requires knowledge of fluid systems, propulsion elements, and integration onto launch vehicles with an understanding of the impacts of reusability.Projects included the successful yield increase of critical mission components which were historically the lowest yield in the factory. As a result of the automation of the testing process, this allowed my team to conduct projects for redesigns, testing, tooling design, fault tree analysis, and process improvements. In addition, served as an engineering point of contact regarding refurbishment of the components, downstream impacts, and launch site root cause analysis between the beginning and final steps of the launch vehicle integration process.
