  As a threat and missile systems engineer at SEG, the majority of my time is spent designing comprehensive intelligence-based 6-degree-of-freedom threat models for a variety of customers in the missile defense industry. Utilizing Systems Engineering Group’s SEG6DOF program and Monte Carlo capabilities, I help deliver robust models to meet multifarious customer needs. The development of these models commonly includes the following elements: creation of aerodynamics models using DATCOM, mass properties evaluation, GNC scheme design and refinement, and the emulation of various specific threat behaviors through event scripting. My work involves incorporating limited or incomplete intelligence analysis with sound engineering judgement to produce model behavior designed to match observed threat performance while covering the entire uncertainty of the threat space. I have also helped carry out validation testing for collaborative threat modelling efforts with other agencies, working to develop and execute exhaustive performance testing and analysis to discover anomalous or unexpected model behavior.

  Electric Boat's Groton location is dedicated to submarine and surface ship design and the development and demonstration of undersea systems. The facility supports engineering and design work as well as new construction and maintenance activities to support the Virginia-class submarine program. EB receives hull sections and modules from Quonset Point and Huntington Ingalls-Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, assembles them into completed submarines, and then positions the ships for float-off (launching) using electric/hydraulic transfer cars and a pontoon in a graving dock. My internships were spent working in Dept. 433 (Waterfront Mechanical Engineering), which is responsible for component design, development, qualification and procurement for new applications utilizing existing and modified technologies. •Maintained an appropriate security clearance (Secret Level) with the Department of Defense •Worked in Dept. 433 (Waterfront Mechanical Engineering), which is responsible for component design, development, qualification and procurement for new applications utilizing existing and modified technologies •Assisted senior engineers and design personnel in analyzing and writing Engineering Reports and obtaining the necessary approval to enact the Engineering Report at the shipyard •Traveled to on-site machine shops and the docked submarines to physically inspect mechanical parts to ensure design accuracy •Assembled engineering design reports for senior management review •Assembled and aided the assembly of Vendor Information Requests to address inquiries and problems concerning the creation of components from contracted vendors Show less
