Leveraged AWS Cloud products and agile principles in Scrum Master role to minimize both compute time and cost to Pratt & Whitney. ### Aeronautical Engineer @ Pratt & Whitney Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Middletown, CT Optimized aerodynamic and aeromechanic design of fan blades for potential use in Boeing's New Midsize Airplane (NMA) program. Ensured sufficient aerodynamic performance and efficiency at multiple fight conditions as well as ample flutter margin against engine operation points. Benchmarked composite layup against hollow titanium to determine the most competitive fan architecture for Boeing. ### Structural Engineer @ Pratt & Whitney Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Middletown, CT - Deployed predictive macro using ANSYS APDL to quickly, effectively and accurately predict adverse stress regions for blade analysis based on fatigue and fracture mechanics equations to support a wide variety of engine programs including the V2500, PW4000, FT4000, and GP7000. Macro utilized to reduce damage analysis timeline form multiple days to under 24 hours. - Support team with general structures tasks including field analysis, engineering changes, updating engine manuals, expanding blueprint tolerances, and maintaining fleet operability and reliability. ### Software Engineer @ Pratt & Whitney Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | East Hartford, CT -Enhanced functionality of existing DART (Dynamic Airfoil Response Tool) software to include modernized preprocessor GUI as well as support for CFD analysis to match existing DOE capability for structural design. -Used DART software to facilitate compressor stage 1 redesign for MRJ 1200G Geared Turbofan Engine for reduced blade stress and increased component life. ### Research Assistant @ Lehigh University Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Bethlehem, PA Utilized finite element analysis in ADINA to model the structural integrity in the healing zone of sheep tibia based on medial and lateral x-rays. Element octahedral and hydrostatic strain values used to evaluate predicted tissue behavior in the callus zones. ### Process Engineer @ Pratt & Whitney Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | East Hartford, CT Built and implemented a classification tool for data re-use of over 18,000 high volume external jet engine components. Successfully campaigned across numerous groups to gather support resulting in $25,000 in funding for cross-organizational implementation of the tool as standard work. ### New Product Development @ Aesculap Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Center Valley, PA Worked in a team of five to create a medical grade parallel distracter device for surgical repair of degenerative disc disease in the lower spine. Thorough business case built for the product, including working prototype, FEA analysis, IP research, cost estimate and cash flow forecast. ### Thermal Engineer @ Alcatel-Lucent Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Providence, NJ Designed and fabricated a wind tunnel for thermal flow characterization over advanced 4G LTE and eventual 5G products. Thermal chamber testing employed to determine the maximum rated temperature. Acoustic testing of noise levels performed on cooling fans in fully anechoic chamber. ### Teacher's Assistant @ Lehigh University Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 Supported professor in teaching MATLAB and Arduino programming languages in Lehigh University's Applied Engineering Computer Methods class. Bi-weekly responsibilities included assisting students in analysis and debug of hardware and software components of electro-mechanical systems. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science The Johns Hopkins University ### Mechanical Engineering Lehigh University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/brianloughran61895 --- Source: https://flows.cv/brianloughran JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/brianloughran/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
