Austin Goswick is seeking a position in maintenance engineering. He received a Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Texas A&M University with a 3.12 GPA and minors in Petroleum Engineering and Math. Currently, he is a Maintenance Engineering Intern at SpaceX where he performs preventative, corrective, and predictive maintenance to ensure reliability on test stands. Previously, he was a Completion Engineer Intern at Pendragon Oil/Clearfork Royalty where he assisted with designing stimulation treatments and hydraulic fracturing jobs. He also has experience from an SERC/XCOR Design Project in which he helped conceptualize, prototype, test, and fabricate a payload carrier structure for microgravity testing.

Capstone Senior Design Project:
Worked on a four man team for Lockheed Martin and created a mixed integer linear program that optimizes their
production schedule while minimizing the overall cost. Lockheed Martin will be using this model to help them run
extensive case studies to make changes to their production schedule over a five year analysis. My team worked on
this project for a semester and won 2nd place at the Industrial Engineering showcase.
Experience:
SpaceX, McGregor, TX August 2015 to Present
Maintenance (Reliability) Engineering Intern
As a maintenance engineer my primary role is to ensure maximum reliability on the test stands
by performing preventative, corrective, and predictive techniques. Along with ensuring
reliability I also use operational feedback to maintain and improve the test stands. My everyday
tasks include analyzing P&ID schematics (pumps, valves, flow, pressure, etc.), creating work
orders, inventory management for spare parts, preventative maintenance projects on my test
stand, data analysis using excel/VBA and SQL, setting up asset and maintenance strategies, and
project management. I am also the head maintenance engineer for all of the engine test stands,
putting me in charge of any maintenance performed on those stands.
Pendragon Oil/Clearfork Royalty, Fort Worth, TX Summer 2014
Completion Engineer Intern
My primary job for the summer was working as a completion engineer. I worked with a geologist learning
how to read electric and mud logs. I also worked with an engineer learning where to perforate and how to
design stimulation treatments. I was onsite for a couple of completions where I learned how to read and
interpret pressure charts during a hydraulic fracturing job. Pendragon oil is new to fracking in the Eagle
Ford basin so I wrote a research paper on the procedure and helped them design an upcoming Eagle Ford
re-completion and hydraulic fracturing job. I also worked on vapor recovery designs, spill prevention
plans, and running title with a Landman.
SERC/XCOR Design Project, College Station, TX Spring/Summer 2013
Team Member
I was part of a four man team of ISEN students that were handpicked by Texas A&M. Our team was
responsible for the conceptualization, prototyping, testing, and fabrication of a Texas Standard Payload
Carrier test structure that holds CubeSats. This structure was then used in microgravity testing onboard
the XCOR Lynx (hyper-link to article below). In this project, I also dealt extensively in electronics and
wiring schematics. http://engineering.tamu.edu/news/2014/05/20/isen-xcor
