Project Engineer

Triton designs and develops composite structures and components that provide cost-effective, lightweight alternatives to heavy and/or metallic structures. The composite systems that we design can offer improved structural, EMI shielding, impact, and other performances - all while meeting demanding baseline requirements. Our extensive knowledge in composite design and years of industry expertise make us a leader and innovator in composites engineering and product development. We continuously improve our infrastructure and skill sets while expanding the materials and processes envelope. From large complex structures to small components, Triton's staff of dedicated materials, process, design, and analysis engineers and fabricators works closely with our customers to develop new composite systems that cost no more (and less) than the baseline metal components they replace.

Aerospace engineer developing elegant solutions that redefine the limits of flight and space exploration. Extensive experience designing aerostructures and flight hardware for highly-integrated products. Currently working as project engineer at Triton Systems Inc. managing ocean engineering programs developing critical naval defense technologies. Previously worked as hardware manager at American Robotics developing flagship multi-rotor vehicle and base unit. Over the years, I've worked on a variety of aerospace technologies, with primary focus in development of modular manned and unmanned vehicles and ancillary mission critical integrated components. Previous research-related work involved vehicle dynamics & stabilization for BMW-AG in Germany, and flight simulator development for the ATLANTE UAV at GMV in Spain. Past academic research experience in spacecraft design and solar energy efficiency. Other technical interests include naval architecture, hybrid propulsion systems development, sub/orbital flight vehicle conceptual design, space architecture, in-space additive manufacturing, sustainable energy, educational outreach, and all things related to flight. Technical experience ranges across a myriad of engineering fields. Most eager to work for high-end research & development focused companies as well as general aviation entities, located in the United States, South America or European countries such as Germany and Spain. Specialties: Mechanical design (CATIA V5, Solidworks, OnShape, Rhino); Design for Manufacturing (GD&T); finite-element analysis (Femap/NeiNastran, ANSYS, Solidworks Simulation, Comsol); autonomous flight vehicle development; additive manufacturing; STE(A)M outreach; flying small manned and unmanned aircraft; amateur rocketry
