Electronics Engineer

United States Air Force | April 2017 - September 2018

Offered the position during the 2017 US Federal Hiring Freeze, I moved out to Utah to work as a civilian Electronics Engineer for the United States Air Force. Under the 309th Software Maintenance Group, I worked alongside a team of engineers whose mission was high quality software sustainment for military avionics.

During this time, I had the opportunity to be a part of two separate divisions of the 309th Software Maintenance Group, System Design and Test Engineering. This allowed me the unique experience of being involved in both the initial and final phase of software sustainment.

As a System Design Engineer, I focused on defining all system level requirements and interfaces for software development. As a Test Engineer, I evaluated software inaccuracies through practical applications and test procedure development. Both roles played an integral part in concerning quality and safety to the warfighter.

Key Achievements

• Troubleshoot military avionics software integration
• Develop pre-flight testing procedures for aircraft subsystems

Product Engineering Intern

G&W Electric Company | May 2014 - August 2014

Being invited back for my third consecutive summer, I was assigned to the Product Engineering division to learn a different side of G&W Electric. During the summer, I was introduced to switchgear electronics and automation systems.

My first project involved the creation of a JD Edwards database that cataloged different switchgear products. From this, I learned the characteristics associated with control systems, such as NEMA ratings, enclosure builds, and functionality.

Following, I worked on a project that required the configuration of two SEL-451’s (Protection, Automation, and Bay Control Systems) in order to simulate a switch being operated by a motor control. This configuration was done using SEL software, “AcSELerator,” and allowed for simulation pre-production testing.

Key Achievements

• Programmed and tested Protection Automation Control's (SEL-451's)
• Learned basics of lean supply chain management and continuous improvement
• Completed "Essentials of Management Projects," University of Illinois directed course
• Organized switchgear systems in JD Edwards database

Current Limiting Systems Protection Intern

G&W Electric Company | May 2013 - August 2013

My second summer at G&W Electric, I once again interned in the Current Limiting System Protection division. Having completed a year of my electrical engineering undergraduate, I was introduced to more of a design role than the previous summer.

Starting the summer off, I was assigned with designing laboratory equipment that would speed up the production process. I worked alongside the department’s technician and using AutoCAD, I drafted three-dimensional models for parts such as isolation transformer holders and mandrel cases. I also developed a power supply regulator that limited the output of an AC power supply to a certain voltage range.

The final project that I was assigned and successfully completed involved the integration of a JD Edwards Oracle database with mapping software, for company product tracking.

Key Achievements

• Developed a power supply regulator
• Designed three-dimensional models of laboratory equipment
• Aided in Six Sigma implementation

Current Limiting Systems Protection Intern

G&W Electric Company | May 2012 - August 2012

Before graduating high school, I was interviewing for the opportunity to intern at a new engineering facility that was still in the process of being built. Prior to starting college, I was selected for that position, with that company being G&W Electric, a global supplier of electrical power equipment.

At the time, I had no prior experience in the engineering field other than the fact that I had recently decided to attend the electrical engineering undergraduate program at Bradley University. Nonetheless, G&W welcomed me with open arms.

I was placed in the Current Limiting Systems Protection (CLiP) division, where I shadowed the department technician and learned the assembly process of each CLiP unit. This internship introduced me to three-phase power systems and current limitation components, including isolation transformers, fuses, and sensory firing logics.

Key Achievements

• Worked on Current Limiting Protector Units
• Conducted high voltage testing
