Mechanical Engineer III

I currently work for the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and am want to switch my career path to the outdoor industry. I am an avid rock climber, surfer, snow boarder, backpacker, and hiker.

Subject Matter Expert (SME) in small caliber ballistics defeat, which includes all activities outlined in position with Bowhead Science & Technology, as well as:
•Design and test ballistic armor for vehicles and personal protection
•Hold multiple publications on research and testing 
•Present test results, findings, and technical reports to national and international ballistics community 
•Utilize failure mechanics of metallic, composite, and ceramic materials in the designing of armor solutions
•Manage end-to-end testing for both the U.S. Army and its national and international customers
•Troubleshoot test result abnormalities to ensure both performance and overall cost savings to the appropriate military specifications (weight, cost, performance)
•Lead programs designed to develop new technologies and techniques, which enable a better understanding of or improvement to armor systems
•Supplement computational (Finite Element Analysis, Hyrodynamic Computational Code, ect.) and 3D modeling (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ect.) to aid in material model development and to improve predictive capabilities
•Hold multiple publications on research and testing
•Assist in redesign of U.S. Army and customer materials to optimize ballistic performance
