I have 10+ years of mechanical design experience typically working in the aerospace field. I began my career at NASA-JPL working on the next generation Mars Rover, MSL, that is currently on the surface of Mars. There I learned the standards and guidelines that are in place in order to model parts, generate their engineering drawings, and having the parts fabricated. I also got to work on several orbiters that are around Earth, the Moon, and in transit to Jupiter. I then went to work at the California Institute of Technology designing mechanical assemblies for state of the art optics that mount directly onto telescopes at both Palomar Observatory in San Diego and Keck in Hawai'i. I currently work as kind of the go-to person for all things CAD (NX) related at spaceX in the mechanical launch operations group. There I get to do what I really enjoy which is working within NX creating models and drawings, as well as helping other engineers with their NX questions. I also do consultant design work as a freelancer with SolidWorks. I have been doing this for about 8 years and really enjoy it. I have aided over 80 individuals and companies making their ideas come to life first in CAD and then with prototypes. My educational background is that I began at UC San Diego obtaining a BS and MS in Aerospace Engineering. I also went on to receive an MBA in project management and just completed a Masters of Engineering (M.Eng) at USC in Mechanical Design Engineering. My ideal job is utilizing CAD programs like SolidWorks or Unigraphics with my engineering background to create parts and assemblies. My field of choice would be to work on robotics that either travel to the deep sea or outer space. I also like the process of dealing with machine shops to get the parts fabricated. My favorite part of each job is seeing the parts I created on a computer be turned into functional and tangible products.

Mechanical Design Engineer @ Mechanical design and drafting in the Launch Operations group. Helping to build the largest rocket transporter-erector for two launch sites. From December 2012 to Present (2 years 11 months) Hawthorne, CAConsultant Design Engineer @ - Started own business designing products for individuals and smaller companies in SolidWorks. - Thriving relationships with approximately 75 product development companies ranging from aerospace to medical device to consumer products. From March 2007 to Present (8 years 8 months) Home OfficeMechanical Design Engineer @ - Initial position was as a lead designer of aLIGO (Advanced Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatory) to help redesign an improved version of their instrument. - Once design was completed, transitioned within the institute to the Caltech Optical Observatory (COO) department for a state of the art instrument retrofit to an existing telescope. - In charge of assembly tree as well as creating 3D models and their respective engineering drawings. Duties also included sourcing part fabrication, assembly, and testing for design validity. From August 2009 to December 2012 (3 years 5 months) Pasadena, CAMechanical Design Engineer @ - Recruited by previous colleagues at JPL to aid part time in the final design implementations of the robotic arm and main camera for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover. - Duties included incorporating redlines of engineering drawings into new revisions of models and then revising that revision of engineering drawing. A complete check of all parts, assemblies, and drawings for both the arm and camera was completed. Further duties included clean-room assembly of the camera. From May 2010 to November 2010 (7 months) Pasadena, CAMechanical Design Engineer @ - Lead designer of avionics enclosure structures, cable harnessing, and heating/cooling sub-systems for the Descent Stage of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL-DS) rover. - Lead 2D interface drafter for avionics and battery subsystems of aforementioned MSL-DS. - Also designed various aspects of other missions including orbiters for Earth (Aquarius), the Moon (GRAIL), and Jupiter (Juno), as well as ground support and tooling for tests, transportations, and R&D projects. From November 2006 to August 2009 (2 years 10 months) Pasadena, CA
