• Structural and Payload Engineer

  • May 2001 - Dec 2015

  • Assisted with the implementation of product unit upgrade of Integrated Power Supplies, Payload Power Distribution Units, and Bus Power Distribution Units. Initiated ECN’s, updated engineering drawings and parts list for TeamCenter release. Created new and innovative bus bar hardware which would lead to a more robust power supply unit. • Payload Layout Design of Com Repeater Subsystem, Waveguide, and Coax Cables for INMARSAT and other proprietary programs. Established location of annotated Creo (Pro-E) modeled Units within the spacecraft per the Block Diagram, Unit Mounting Matrix, and Cable Length Table. Design and route waveguide, coax cabling, along with all associated brackets and hardware. Advise structures, heatpipe, and harness departments of possible changes to unit placement, bracket locations, and cable routing. Created engineering drawings and parts list for release to TeamCenter. • Used knowledge of bus structure, blanket locations, and electrical hardware to create Pro-E models and analytical data relating to the spacecraft bus to launch vehicle interface. Provided engineering drawings and detailed charts to establish close approach areas and stayout zones for the Critical Clearance Check List. • Refined previous design of complex launch lock mechanism for deployable antenna on TDRS spacecraft. Due to different thermal and structural requirements, designed and improved brackets, placement of pyrotechnic devise, and all associated hardware. Adjusted structures and waveguides to maintain critical location of deployed antenna. Created or updated engineering drawings and parts list for release to TeamCenter. • Provided Technical leadership for Boeing Huntsville-AL Team to review Ares-1 Upper Stage Pro-e data. Review, document, and recommend modeling best practices for Pro-E as part of continuing effort in support of Ares-1 design and manufacturing criteria. Show less
