Give technical direction, guidance, and support to various electronic packaging problems on a variety of military and commercial programs. Work includes planning, developing, coordinating, and directing large engineering projects with many complex features involving exploration of areas with definition of scope and selection of problems for investigation and development of novel concepts and approaches.

Electronics Packaging Engineer :

Consultant on the mechanical design and packaging of fuel controller for an advanced technology commercial jet engine (ALPS). Responsible for structural and thermal design aspects from overall structural integrity down to component level including multi-chip module packaging aspects. Design and implementation of vibration isolation system and thermal management scheme for severe vibration and thermal environments

Senior Staff Engineer :

Responsible for analysis in structural disciplines on in-house aircraft system designs. Develop and coordinate designs on avionics, aircraft support and test equipment, seekers, and vehicle structures. Perform FEA computer modeling. Work-scope includes structural dynamic analysis of electronic assemblies and electronic systems designs up to and including airframe and aircraft structure. Responsibility for sub-contracted work meeting required specified contract requirements dealing with mechanical design functions. 

Senior Engineer :

Extensive experience in analysis and design of guided missile systems. Support design of avionics, seekers, and vehicle structures. Computer modeling and simulation of physical systems on missile using finite element and finite difference techniques was used to predict system behavior under environmental extremes. Structural dynamic checking and coordinate design efforts between various disciplines to ensure effective sub-system design and their integration into a total vehicle system.
