Implemented state-of-the-art Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries in Aspen Avionics MAX2 Evolution Flight Displays, significantly reducing the risk of catastrophic Lithium-ion battery fires. Led team of Manufacturing Engineering and Assembly Technicians to update documentation to better reflect current practices and increase consistency in product quality. Designed electronics housings for in-cabin components and passed FAA RTCA DO-160 qualifications with 100% success rate on the first try. Initiated a higher level of standards and organization through new procedures for engineering drawings, reducing confusion and streamlining future revision processes.

Designed and analyzed heat exchanger piping for amplifier racks on Viasat’s 13m ground antenna. Specified testing levels appropriate for rail shipment of antenna components per MIL-STD 810G. Designed shipping containers for highly sensitive antenna reflection panels and ensured panel integrity during handling.

Designed a go/no-go gauge for the antenna horn on Viasat’s G-12 and G-18 production antennas to ensure antenna horn is within strict tolerance.

Automated the backlash test for Viasat’s GM40 production antennas and successfully reduced test runtime by 94%
