Seattle, Washington, United States
As a Design Engineer at Boeing, I leverage my expertise in production scheduling and FAA compliance to enhance design processes and ensure the safety and functionality of commercial aircraft. With over 15 years of experience in the aerospace industry, I have developed and integrated production scheduling into advanced ordering systems, reviewed payload system requirements, and led technical communications for vendor qualifications. I am passionate about sustainable transportation and have a Master's degree in this field from the University of Washington. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I am always eager to learn new technologies and apply them to improve the efficiency and quality of production processes.
• Developed and documented structural and interior payload system requirements for the Boeing Cargo 777X project, ensuring alignment with design specifications. • Utilized advanced 3-D CAD tools to create and modify payload system designs, enhancing collaboration with engineering teams and suppliers. • Managed supplier activities to optimize design and production processes, contributing to a streamlined workflow and improved program outcomes.
These 5 months were fun with some weeks of slowing down and reflection. Reconnecting with what’s important, and expanding my network. Re-evaluating my worth, in a good way, and getting a better perspective on what unemployment is, and what it can be.
Due to an unfortunate layoff, I took the unique opportunity to extend my travels through Europe for 7 weeks. My journey started in December, by a visit to family in New York for Christmas, and then we headed to UK for New Years. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and extended family throughout Europe. After those 7 weeks; we spent some extra quality time back in New York; and finally, in early March we comeback to Seattle. I feel refreshed and ready for my new chapter. #OpenToWork
