• Lead Mechanical Engineer

  • Jan 2001 - Mar 2008

  Lead Mechanical Engineer for Organic Airborne Mine Countermeasures (OAMCM), managing equipment modification and integration on to MH-60S. Interfaced with numerous contracting and government agencies for support of OAMCM integration. Monitored contractor assistance for large program as Lead Mechanical Engineer, including test support, design oversight, and fault analysis. Managed all aspects of the manufacture, testing, qualification, and development of SOPs for a cartridge activated cable cutter device to include the ongoing development of the next generation of cutters. Addressed Safety of Flight Issues in coordination with MH-60S air crews. Led a team of engineers from concept development through fabrication and testing of a titanium structure used for launch and recovery of the Remote MultiMission Vehicle (RMMV) on the Littoral Combat Ship. Some notable characteristics include: Design Load: 20,000 lbs., single point lift. Weldment weight: 370 lbs. Factor of Safety: UTS/4.5. Accommodates two lift configurations; four point (62”x59”), three point (169”x59”). Served as RMMV Test Vehicle Task Lead. This task involved planning, estimating, designing, fabricating, assembling, and testing a towed vehicle to be used as a test bed for launch and recovery operations of the RMMV. The mock-up was designed to have similar handling characteristics to the RMMV both in water and in air. This test vehicle was used to prove the validity of launching and recovering the RMV from the stern of both prop-driven and waterjet driven ships. • Designed, fabricated, installed and integrated an improved and easily reconfigurable mast and mast base to the RMMV Test Vehicle. This mast base is functionally identical to the RMMV mast base which was upgraded to allow the Capture Spine to raise and lower the mast while suspended during launch and recovery. • Participated in a conceptual design team formed to explore next generation technologies and their application to current program of record.
