  • Greater Atlanta Area

  • Principal Failure Analysis/Quality Engineer

    • Jun 2015 - Jul 2016
    • Greater Atlanta Area

    • Identifying significant adverse trends in quality, reliability and in-process testing, leading cross-functional failure analysis efforts to evaluate root cause (typically to component level), and proposing and validating corrective actions. • Leading weekly Failure Review Board assemblies comprised of both L-3 upper management and customer representatives. • Auditing the manufacturing processes of CCA’s and electronic components, identifying issues, and improving legacy work instructions and supplier specifications to increase product quality and durability.

  Lockheed Martin

  • F-22/F-16 Aeronautical Engineer Staff

    • Apr 2012 - Jun 2015

    • Led F-22 subsystem suppliers in both product development and reliability improvement/redesign activities across multiple aircraft systems including environmental control, global positioning and navigation, cockpit displays, and communications.• Performed root cause investigations and recommended corrective actions to resolve F-22 equipment reliability issues originating from both qualification test failures and high-profile field issues. Noteworthy accomplishments include:• Monitored and performed reliability and trend analysis on avionics, mechanical subsystems, and electronic hardware with an emphasis on safety critical and safety significant components. • Calculated Mean Time Between Removal (MTBR) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), evaluated traditional reliability metrics against Weibull characteristic life, and identified emerging wear-out and aircraft downtime drivers.

  • Systems Integrity Engineer Sr.

    • Jun 2002 - Apr 2012

    • Verified the robustness and reliability of F-22 subsystems via analysis and testing. • Defined and documented the environments and interface requirements for new components developed for the F-22 platform. • Supervised the environmental and durability testing of electronic hardware and mechanical systems. o Test experience includes vibration, shock, thermal cycling, temperature and altitude extremes, humidity, salt fog (corrosion), duty cycling, and several other key environments specified in MIL-STD-810.• Performed high-cycle fatigue analysis of safety-critical aircraft components and identified issues resulting in redesigns and long-term life tracking models. • Provided real-time data analysis in a control room environment to support F-22 flight test activities at Edwards AFB. o Generated post-flight reports and gave briefings on flight test milestones to management.
