Mar 2020 - Present
--Overview-- Advanced numerical analysis, research, and testing. Design and optimization of critical system components. Predictive modeling.--Detailed--Designed and executed experiments to record component behavior at critical interfaces. Created program to reconstruct part behavior in three dimensional animations using MATLAB. Graphically overlaid predicted theoretical behavior onto animations to prove and disprove behavioral assumptions. Altered governing equations and developed novel redesign. Authored and presented comprehensive status updates to senior management.Aggregated test data from subset of operating conditions to generate multivariate fitting equations. Fitting data extrapolated beyond operating envelope to establish predictive operating limits for new products.Heavily upgraded preexisting counterweight design tool in Microsoft Excel. Revised tool to optimize counterweights for performance of single individual design or for optimal cost-effective compromise between arbitrary combination of multiple designs. Show less
