Experience

• Mechanical Engineer SAIC · Full-time Oct 2025 – Present 7 mos RI, United States Due to the sensitive nature and security clearances required for this position, I cannot disclose specific programs or details. My scope is comprehensive engineering and manufacturing analysis for the current program. This includes: 3D design and modification of existing models, drawings, CAD/CAM, managing material databases, FEA, FMEA, CFD (internal & external), electromechanical system integration, balancing CGs and moments of inertia as well as baseline hand calculations for: stress, deflection, torque, gearing, buckling, pressure, heat transfer, Reynolds, velocity, drag, lift, and impact forces.
• Research and Development Technician Commonwealth Fusion Systems · Full-time May 2025 – Oct 2025 5 mos MA, United States Composites Laboratory:
  I worked mostly in the composites laboratory doing Vacuum Pressure Injection (VPI) to test and manufacture experimental composites. My scope included: machined composite mold modifications, mold assembly, mold heating, thermal cycling, hazardous material handling and clean up, data collection, data analysis, vacuum systems and instrumentation, PIDs, general tooling and machining, cryogenic shocking, cryogenic loading, cryogenic cycling
  
  High Voltage Testing:
  Coupled with the composites laboratory, I was also a certified high voltage technician, handling equipment and fixtures supplying and receiving tens of thousands of volts. This was related to the later stages of composited manufacturing. Testing of composites and their electrical insulation ability under cryogenic and mechanical loads, which is a crucial component of the functionality of a Tokomak.
  
  General Machine Shop Duties:
  Having machining experience, I was often running analog mills and lathes for general research and development projects as needed. Manufacturing and using special jigging, tooling, and instrumentation to create low tolerance parts and systems
