  • May 2020 - Aug 2020

  − Worked with mechanical and electrical engineers on a $70,000,000+ Air Force defense contract during the research, prototyping and beginning of the testing phase through Preliminary Design Review with the Air Force. − Completed drawings, part modelling, and presentations in Autodesk Inventor for original and legacy parts. − Communicated with material companies, machine shops and equipment manufacturers, to acquire, manufacture, and learn about different parts, applications and materials for the Air Force project. − Helped with assembly of overall assemblies and subassemblies for testing and creation of work instructions. − Helped coordinate major redesigns as Air Force requirements were changed and updated. The major three design requirements included weight, outer mold line and stress. − Researched a variety of materials to meet strenuous requirements between weight, outer mold line and stress. These materials include Beryllium, Titanium Aluminide, Aluminum Silicone, and a variety of other composites and materials. − Went through dozens of iterations of part designs using different materials and physical buildups in coordination with ANSYS simulations to achieve design requirements.
