In this position I provided estimates of mass properties data for advanced design concepts and new products during early development. I also provided weight and balance estimates for special mission proposal aircraft such as medevac, VIP, and skydiving configurations. I had the opportunity to complete a temporary assignment in technical publications for a new military aircraft. I authored the maintenance manual sections for the landing gear, fuel, flight controls, and hydraulic systems. This required interfacing with several disciplines of engineers to accurately define steps for removal and installation, adjustment, rigging, and description and operation job guide categories. Additionally, I completed a temporary assignment as a stress engineer, signing drawings to verify their structural sufficiency and analyzing FEMAP models using NASTRAN.

I worked in the 757 and 767 fleet engineering group planning fleet wide upgrades and supported the maintenance operation at the Tulsa base in an engineering role. I analyzed technical drawings, conducted filter and adhesion experiments, and worked with avionics, components, mechanics, and manufacturers to ensure optimal upgrades were achieved. All work was completed under strict deadlines to ensure compliance with FAA and EASA regulations. I worked on both reliability and regulatory fleet wide projects in a variety of different systems.
