Work with sister companies as mechanical engineering support and simulation consultant. Researched and implemented FEA/CFD simulation analysis methods to insure correct verification and validation of simulation results. Performed Thermal analysis (conduction, convection, and radiation), and mil Spec structural analysis (Static Structural, Random Response Vibration, Shock, Fracture Mechanics) using FEA and CFD. Worked directly with internal and external customer engineers collaborating simulation setup and simulation results. Generated simulation result reports and presentations. Collaborated with internal and external machine shops during fabrication of prototypes systems. Built test benches and systems to validate and record first article performance characteristics. Supported manufacturing production engineering process with design or process failure analysis. Researched new thermal / structural materials to improve new and existing product designs. Worked with outside testing laboratories to develop mechanical properties of prototype and production parts and materials. Developed SLA, SLS, & FDM Additive manufacturing parts and processes to insure production quality tolerances for materails such as Nylon, Ultem polymers, and Alumina Ceramics. Show more Show less
