Mechanical Engineer| Anthony Joel Vaught
My mission is to design and innovate with intention. Having a meaningful impact is the end goal. Through continual learning and thoughtful collaboration, I aim to contribute to a world where technology empowers society. What can be achieved is limited only by our own boundries. Space and energy continue to be in the forfront of my intrest. I dream of leaving a meaningful impact by developing space and energy storage technologies.

-Mechanical Weapons Engineer: CREDENCE, Warner Robins, GA-
2022 - Current
  • Skills used
  • Creo Parametric
  • ASME Y14.5 GD&T
  • MMPDS
  • Mechanical engineer imbedded in the Special Operations Forces Personnel Recovery IPT (integrated project Team). Maintained functionality of the fleet by reviewing product deficiencies, failure incidents, and First Article Reports. The secondary focus was modernizing aging engineering data by converting 2D drawings into 3D Creo files. These files are vetted and ready for manufacturing. Each file is carefully reviewed for errors or obsolete content and updated according. All updates are made to align data IAW with ASME Y14.5 GD&T specifications.

  • Skills used
  • Solidworks
  • ANSYS workbench FEA
  • Technical orders
  • Machine and structure design
  • ASME Y14.5 GD&T
  • Design for Manufacturing
  • Lead mechanical aspects of aircraft modification programs. Utilized expertise in product design, crashload and vibration analysis, weight and balance calculations and aircraft modicication and installation. Used solidworks for 3D part rendering and ANSYS workbench to ensure each new design survived static, vibration and shock load environments, contributing to airworthiness. Provided expertise on mechanical engineer topics during project bidding and basis of estimate technical writing. In instances where computerized analysis could not be used, , utilized hand calculated stress and fatigue analysis. Modification projects include, ALR 69A C-130H modification, T-6A ADS-B out modification, T-6A/B/D CSR Modification.
  • T-6A ADS-B out modification: Surveillance technology that broadcasts information about an aircraft's GPS location, altitude and speed.
    Calculated stress and fatigue analysis using classical hand calulations. Completed weight and balance technical order calculations. Rendered engineering data to be used during manufacturing and aircraft modification. Made redlines to drawing date during trail install. Completed and verified aircraft trail instal by integrating the system into a test aircraft and completing test flight.
  • T-6A/B/D CSR: Flight data recording technology that stores flight data for use during maintanance or investigation post incident.
    Calculated stress and fatigue analysis using classical hand calulations. Completed weight and balance technical order calculations. Rendered engineering data to be used during manufacturing and aircraft modification. Made redlines to drawing date during trail install. Completed and verified aircraft trail instal by integrating the system into a test aircraft and completing test flight.
  • ALR 69A: A Radar Warning Receiver that detects, identifies, and locates threat electrical signals.
    Investigated aircraft configurations that encompassed 140+ C-130 aircraft, for the US Airforce. Used site survey data to choose integration locations for the various processors used in the system. Utilized exiting mylar data to design new fiberglass radar sensor housing. Achieved airworthiness of new system by proving stability of aircraft structure, at integration locations, and newly designed structure with the use of ANSYS workbench. Acted as the lead Mechanical Engineering during aircraft trail installs at, NASA Stennis internation Airport, that spanned 3 aircraft and lasted 20 weeks. Made redlines to drawing date during trail install to alleviate differing aircraft configurations. Successfully completed all trail installation aircraft and test flights.
