PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

INTERN – METAMATERIAL PROJECT | JABIL | 8/2019 to 5/2020
Conducted acoustic simulations in COMSOL and model design and structural analysis in SolidWorks to determine optimal values for metamaterial variables and arrangement that produced greatest decibel level reduction. Fabricated aluminum metamaterial and collaborated with additive manufacturing engineer to develop support structure. Composed project documents, including DOE, SOW, and final reports. Oversaw 3-member interdisciplinary team, communicating directives from lead engineer to team.

? Extensively utilized COMSOL acoustic module to determine how sound waves in frequency range of 3,000-9,000 Hz interacted with metamaterial design.
o Created sound press level (SPL) data-gathering points to monitor input and output; established test parameters to change dimensions and spacing, identifying optimal metamaterial arrangement that reduced dB by 35%.
? Designed structural support system for project using SolidWorks based on COMSOL optimization results; produced detailed drawing complete with GD&T.
? Executed FEA analysis of structure using SolidWorks, including stress analysis to minimize supports to .118” cross-section and frequency analysis of structure to ensure non-resonance with test frequencies.
? Fabricated metamaterial and support structure prototype to test against simulation model and verify findings; milled aluminum plate to 0.001” tolerance.

INTERN | INTRIGO SYSTEMS | 7/2018
Honed experience with SAP system while building simulation for product flow automation. Developed model from raw materials to product distribution.

? Established product flow-based supply chain in SAP via simulation, including creating automated material ordering and manufacturing system, along with customizable order interface.

MECHANIC | WALKER MARINE INC. | 7/2007 to 11/2013
Diagnosed and repaired gas marine engines, generators, water systems, septic systems, and electrical systems using proprietary software. Winterized and inspected vessels prior to entering storage. Reviewed and completed work orders and maintained documentation for repairs.

? Utilized software and deep technical expertise to quickly repair systems, minimizing customer downtime.
? Increased customer satisfaction and return business by delivering exceptional service, completing jobs more quickly than manufacturers’ guidelines.
