Over the last 16 months, I have had the incredible opportunity to learn about the intricate details of becoming a design engineer in the aerospace and defense industry.
Working alongside the most eminent engineers in the sector, I have witnessed the various bases that drive innovative designs built to excel in extreme environments.
ANSI Y14.5M standards applied on all components
Kinematic modeling for clearance and range of motion applications
Created models ranging from individual parts to large assemblies
Functional Tolerancing and Annotation (FTA) applied on new program parts
Complex sectioning and detail views
GD&T applied to parts requiring high accuracy
Tolerance stackups including coatings for assemblies
Design for manufacturing
ANSI Y14.5
Part-based models defined by drawings
Complex sectioning and detail views
GD&T applied to parts requiring high accuracy
Parts lists and drawing notes
Bill of materials
Part processes, finishes, and inspections
Product revisions
Product workflow and engineering approvals
Bill of materials structure
Thorough documentation
Engineering change orders
Assembly structure
Collaboration with Stress, Materials, Manufacturing, and Project Leadership integrated performance teams.
Product review with other engineering teams
Participate in change board meetings.
Prepare, review, and submit engineering changes to integrated performance teams.
Guidance from experienced engineers on design changes
Created a Design Study Summary (DSS) for a retrofit assembly, allowing individuals not directly involved with the project to understand what components are changing, the reason for change, and the tolerance stackup for newly introduced components
