Principal Systems Engineer
July 2026 – Present
Hardware Engineer
Northrop Grumman, Dolphinworks Sonar Development Lab
April 2024 – July 2026
- 2x Bravo award recipient in 2026 for outstanding engineering and business impact
- Awarded "Top Performer" rating in 2025 (top 10% of employees at job level) for exceptional performance and contributions in engineering and business impact.
- IPT Lead Engineer for next-generation multi-spectral Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) sensor.
- Modeled production components and tooling in Siemens NX, and produced ASME-compliant drawings for manufacturing.
- Developed and performed factory acceptance testing for next generation SAS sensor.
- Designed, fabricated, and integrated a man-portable SAS payload onto multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) platforms; extensive on-water experience as vehicle operations and test lead.
- Led SAS mechanical and software integration on customer AUV, and served as subject matter expert; traveled to customer site and integrated directly with customer teams.
- Developed Python-based controller to autonomously operate payload, reducing data retrieval and analysis time by 50%.
- Developed multithreaded C++ navigation interfaces utilizing serialized UDP data streams to seamlessly bridge embedded sonar hardware with AUV navigation sensors.
Model Integration Lead
Northrop Grumman Pathways Program
October 2023 – March 2024
- Awarded "Top Performer" rating in 2023 for exceptional performance and contributions in mechanical engineering.
- Developed 5 high fidelity MATLAB Simulink/Simscape models for a complex submersible system including hydraulics, life support, high-pressure air, and 2 ballast models.
- Established interfaces of several sub-models to ease integration into a larger system level performance model and part of a broader MBSE approach.
- Served as main point of contact for all MATLAB modeling related questions on the program, and successfully resolved other teammates problems reducing down time.
Hydraulics System Development Team Member
Northrop Grumman Pathways Program
May 2023 – October 2023
- Developed a high-fidelity hydraulics model for a complex submersible using MATLAB Simulink/Simscape, reducing development costs associated with physical prototyping.
- Validated the model with hand calculations and real-world data from analogous systems.
- Derived system requirements and leveraged the model to modify and verify the design against performance criteria.
Associate Manufacturing Process Engineer
Northrop Grumman Pathways Program - Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
August 2022 – May 2023
- Led operator downtime monthly review meeting to recognize and drive SMT manufacturing process improvement.
- Oversaw and approved Autoline manufacturing process as lead Duty Engineer on a weekly basis.
- Developed and optimized both Stencil Print and Solder Paste Inspection programs to minimize production CCA defects.
Certifications & Recognition
- Part 107 Remote Pilot
- FCC Amateur Radio Technician
