9/2004 - 5/2006 BOEING, commercial, Wichita, KS, 737-900X Section 44
Create strength check notes (SCN) to validate new structural design and resubstantiate existing structure
for the mid section fuselage of the 737-900ER airplane. Sign off new design drawings and communicate
to designers any structural changes in order to conform with the ultimate and fatigue analysis.

4/2004 - 9/2004 BOEING, commercial, Wichita, KS, 767 Section 41

Respond to customer telexes and support 767 repair requests.
Determine structural integrity of aircraft structural assemblies and its related components for the front
fuselage of the airplane.

4/2003 - 4/2004 BOEING, military, Wichita, KS, 767 Section 45

Review design drawings and submit relevant stress and structural analysis according to load paths and
load distributions.
Develop standard analytical calculations using classical hand computations to support the finite element
analysis.

July 1999 - Feb 2002

Mechanical Engineer (design & analysis)
ASML, Thermal Systems, Orange, CA
- Performed design-engineering tasks including process development and integration, equipment
evaluation and design modification for the semi conductor wafer processing technology (low volume
production and each machine has its own customer unique specification in terms of process and
configuration).
- Electronic packaging and proper sizing of external vendor equipment according to its optimum location
and functionality.
- Prepared layouts and released engineering drawings related to the machine's primary and secondary
systems such as gas delivery system, vacuum, pneumatic assembly, wafer automation handling system
and machine's structural assembly (frame and panels).
- Participated in design meetings and technical problem solving sessions.
- Improved existing product by increasing its reliability and decreasing its maintenance requirements.
- Reduced mechanical assembly cost by identifying and acquiring generic components.

- Generated detailed assembly drawings for engineering reviews and presentations along with detailed
part drawings based on ASME Y14.5
standards and GD&T principles.
- Documented engineering changes and revisions using ISO 9000 along with relevant ECO and BOM.
- Followed up on internal shop floor deviations and proposed new techniques to resolve problems.
- Interfaced with vendors to determine component compatibility and incorporated new products.
- Conformed to budget limitations and product cost and released documentation within tight schedule.

Oct 1996 - July 1998

Senior engineer / scientist (structural group)
BOEING, SPACE STATION DIVISION, Huntington Beach, CA
- Provided structural analysis and documentation for assemblies that were mounted on the international
space station. Reports were presented during preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR & CDR).
- Determined structural integrity of space primary and secondary assemblies and its related components
that were designed in UG V16. (Some assemblies included housings for electronic packages)
- Reviewed design drawings and submitted relevant stress and structural analysis according to load paths
and load distributions based on part and assembly drawing extraction from UG V16 and submit design
modifications and recommendations.
- Developed standard analytical calculations using classical hand computations to support the finite
element analysis (Patran and Nastran, base model created in UG V16).
- Performed analysis covered the following technical areas: part stress, material definition from MIL-
HDBK, strength of materials, thermal, fracture and fatigue based on vibration cycles.

Oct 1994 - Aug 1996

Mechanical Liaison Engineer
Electro Industries, Saudi Arabia
- Provided technical support to the manufacturing department (parts fabricated at a high production rate).
- Approved structural and stress analysis for the production of steel roof structures.
- Designed and modified steel and plastic components of telephone cabinets.
- Communicated with internal machine shop personnel to recommend and record any deviations from
released design drawings and assist in setting up tooling processes especially in the milling operations
and laser cutting operations.

MAR 1994 - June 1994

Mechanical Engineer
Hughes-Power Control Systems, Torrance, CA
- Prepared engineering reports and provided a laboratory setup of the air-conditioning system.
- Performed testing and thermal evaluation for the air conditioning system of an electric vehicle.
- Teamed with internal machine shop personnel to build a laboratory bench type air conditioning model
made from purchased components and custom made parts.

Oct 1992 - Feb 1993

Mechanical Engineer
