OBJECTIVE
To obtain a composite engineering position in a manufacturing environment in the rocky mountain region where I can utilize my current skill set in composite fabrication and polymer science.
EXPERIENCE
Composite Fabrication Engineer, MR&D, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., Kinston, NC 2012-Present
o Technical lead for fabrication of small composite part family (intercostals) on the Airbus A350 S15 assembly and autoclave/thermal process focal. Accomplishments and responsibilities include: dimensional defect reduction by modifying a compaction process, measurement templates and driving engineering changes, NC program changes and hand lay-up training workshops to eliminate scrapping parts post-cure, reduction of control panel mechanical testing defects by test modifications and build data packages to present to the customer in support of relaxing requirements or eliminating testing, lead RCCA investigations, lead autoclave thermal profiles, lead trails for new hot drape form process, lead the technical reporting and presentations on intercostal part quality status to the product customer and upper management. Also support fabrication improvements on S15 skin panels, stringers and wing spars.
Bicycle Mechanic, Ski technician, Outdoor Sports Companies, MA/CO 2010-2012
o Customer service, equipment repair, part sales. Details available on request.
Graduate Research with A. Crosby and J. Watkins, UMass, Amherst, MA 2009-2010
o Thin film work with polystyrene-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) composite research directed towards understanding how changes in NP design (NP core material, NP size, ligand size) affect interactions and macro scale properties, research presentations for peer evaluation every 8 weeks
Graduate Research with A. Lesser, UMass, Amherst, MA, 2007-2008
o Environmental stabilization of Zylon fibers via super critical CO2/solvent cleaning measured effects of temperature and humidity on fiber degradation by monitoring thermal/mechanical/chemical properties, research presentations for peer evaluation every 8 weeks
Research Assistant with L. Schadler, RPI, Troy, NY 2006
o Characterized stress relaxation of high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells via compression testing and d...
