    • Thermal Analytics Engineer I
      • Jul 2023 - Present

      Apply principles of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer in analysis of high pressure compressor (HPC) and low pressure turbine (LPT) hardware within the Pratt and Whitney Geared TurboFan (GTF) engine program.

    • Rotational Engineer
      • Sep 2021 - Jul 2023

      Three rotations within three departments within the company. Afterwards, a permanent position is chosen in one of the departments. Typically, each rotation is six months long but my first rotation was extended to nine months.My first rotation was in Customer Technical Services (CTS) within the Product Support Engineering (PSE) department, where I supported the Pratt and Whitney GTF engine program. Additionally, I facilitated improvements with several procedures involving process and value stream mapping. Furthermore, I helped create a database of documentation, instructions, and training pertinent to the PSE department.My second rotation was in the Component Integrated Product Teams (CIPT) department, where I supported integration topics regarding the HPC and LPT modules in the GTF engine programs along with other topics pertaining to heat transfer and thermodynamics. I was involved in many disciplines within the department, such as Validation, Design Integration, Industrial Management, Performance, and Thermal Integration. The bulk of my time was spent supporting performance and heat transfer topics on the Water Enhanced TurboFan (WET) engine and thermal integration topics.My last rotation was within the Analytics department at MTU AENA. More specifically, I supported the thermal analysis of MTU hardware within the Pratt and Whitney Geared TurboFan (GTF) engine program. This hardware includes the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) and Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) modules. The thermal analytics of these modules are crucial for understanding the behavior of the engine at various operating conditions. Additionally, the calculations and results which generated are used by internal groups, such as Structures, as well as external ones, such as our partner, Pratt and Whitney.After completing the rotation program in July 2023, I decided to have my permanent position in the Analytics department as a Thermal Analytics Engineer.

I apply mechanical engineering principles to produce control schematics, wiring diagrams, schedules, operation sequences, etc. in order to build engineering projects. See below for a summary of my responsibilities:- Read and interpret construction drawings to understand project requirements and scope of work- Design building automation systems (BAS) for client buildings that meet project specifications- Use AutoCAD to produce control schematics, wiring diagrams, operational sequences, etc. for projects- Coordinate design requirements with project managers; aid field personnel during construction- Revise shop drawings, creating As-Built and O&M packages for client and company record Show less

    • Energy Engineering Intern
      • May 2019 - May 2020

      As an Energy Engineering Intern, my job is to interface between clients and utility companies in order to determine how much energy (electricity, natural gas, etc.) a client uses. From there, I help to build projects and write proposals that save the client energy through cost saving measures. See below for a summary of my responsibilities:- Used Excel to analyze client energy usage to create an energy expenditure baseline for analysis- Performed cost saving calculations to create energy efficient projects for client building infrastructure- Interfaced with utility companies to improve project viability by implementing energy incentives- Applied VBA to automate computations and processes to improve project efficiency Show less
