PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Simulation Software Development Engineer 2011 – Present
MBS Associates, Fives Cincinnati, Frisco, TX
• Serve as Lead developer of advanced composites engineering application software for robot projects.
• Meet or exceed cost, performance and schedule targets in the design, implementation, and support of composites computer aided manufacturing and 3d viewer software using MATLAB, Java, Visual Studio, C, C++, C# and .NET.
• Designed efficient control algorithms for advanced robot with 4-axis wrist that can produce complex high-curvature parts and verified the new algorithms were effective using process simulation application.
• Used MATLAB to develop and test novel closed-form inverse kinematics solution with built-in accuracy enhancement for eventual implementation in C++ robot visualization software and real-time robot controller.
• Devised machine measurement guidelines for mechanical engineering group to be used for gathering machine error data to incorporate in accuracy compensation algorithms.
• Utilized inverse kinematics to create math model of 6-axis robot and flexible control algorithm for external rail axis in order to successfully deliver application software for new prototype robot composites layup system.
• Delivered Siemens 840D NC program generator and Kuka robot simulation software ahead of schedule for German aerospace agency’s advanced multi-robot composites layup system leading to successful customer acceptance test.
• Developed application in C#/.NET in order to create various test cases to be passed to C++ unmanaged kinematics code for verification testing of new universal kinematics software.
Senior Acquisition Analyst for Aircrew Training Systems 2010 – 2011
Serco NA, WPAFB, OH
• Serve as Program Manager for acquisition of aircrew training systems on $1.3 billion weapon system acquisition effort.
• Provided subject matter expertise and analysis of flight simulation software and flight simulation devices, created systems requirements documents, conducted training systems requirements analysis, and co-chaired training planning team meetings.
• Drafted training throughput analysis in order to assist in definition of government client’s training device requirements and determine potential cost savings of using synthetic training devices.
• Used flight simulation expertise to draft training systems section of aircraft RFP document in order to communicate training device performance requirements and constraints to bidding contractors.
• Conducted training planning meeting to gather customer training requirements in order to create detailed system training plan, resulting in cost avoidance to government client of over $750K in contractor fees.
Flight Simulator Specialist II 2008 – 2010
FlightSafety Japan, Tokyo, Japan
• Led a team of technicians and engineers to successfully start up the first foreign-owned flight simulation training company in Japan at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
• Assisted and advised Japanese simulator certification team with flight data analysis and in the development of Level-D compliant Japanese simulator qualification test guide which directly resulted in achieving timely certification with Japan Civil Aviation Bureau.
• Used Microsoft Visual Studio to perform the coding, debugging, building and testing of simulator software modules written in Fortran, C, and C++ running on a Windows based RTOS computer network.
• Maintained simulator software library and performed software configuration management using Microsoft Visual Source Safe for compliance with FAA Part 60.
• Worked closely with CRJ and Dash 8 aircraft subject matter experts to ensure proper simulator operation and that they provided the most realistic training possible.
