Daily tasks consist on engineering test planning, conducting, data reducing/processing, analyzing and reporting to internal/external flight data customers in order to support various types of commercial certifications and military program milestones.• Planning stage consists on everything from defining engineering measurements, designing such measurements and writing adequate flight plans obtain necessary flight data for assessing component reliability and performance validation.• Flight test conducting for not only structural based flight (also flying qualities, flight controls, performance, propulsion) consisted on real time structural measurement validation and assessment relative to a flying envelope. Structures measurements consisted on various arrangements of strain gages, accelerometers and lasers amongst others combined into complex equation outputting the desired information for flight safety and performance assessment.• Local rap testing and modal analysis expert having worked various Sikorsky’s platforms: S-92A, S-76D, CH-53K, UH-60 and X-2 derivatives (S-97A Raider).• Data reduction includes post processing (digital filtering), validation and editing of flight data for final analysis. The reduced structural data then gets utilized for component retirement time calculations.• Data analysis consists in conservative limit margin and load path analysis, component harmonic/non-harmonic vibratory response analysis and thermal induced stress analysis of hundreds of primary structural elements.• Flight test reporting involves encompassing all structural integrity relevant observations made during the test program along with sharing of the necessary information to calculate component retirement lives.

• Worked as a student assistant helping people with any issues on using any computer software or hardware at the computer lab in the Evans Library of Florida Institute of Technology.

• Worked at the development flight center in West Palm Beach, FL doing 3D design work on Catia V5 for several aircrafts including CH-53K, S-76D and S-92A.• The design projects included locating accelerometers, laying out command plates, and several more specific measurement systems. Tasks made it usual to interface with the instrumentation, rotors, and structures departments in order to fulfill all the requirements that each project demanded.

• Job consisted on repairing and replacing engine and fuselage parts of a C-130, and also did a small overview of the avionics components.• Work also included understanding of regulations to follow for each of the repairs based on specific customers.

• Job included manufacturing specific parts to be utilized by different university engineering departments, such as the Civil, Ocean, Mechanical and Aerospace departments. • Assisted Junior and Senior students with any part of the design projects.
