Direct activities include full system integration and testing of all components including airframe, fuel system, avionics, cables, landing gear, powerplant, payloads, and software. Test sub-IPT lead covering analyzing and troubleshooting test and integration issues of systems on the SkyGuardian platform in production and flight test facilities by overseeing performing Production Test Procedures and driving solution via test plan approvals and regression testing. Lead Flight Load Instrumentation project engineer for first production build. Developed all budget, planning, and execution for an IRAD project with a budget over $2M. Leader of a multidisciplinary team to effectively instrument the RPA with hundreds of sensors including strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, microphones, load cells, and pressure belts in extremely precise locations. Deliverables were planning, execution, documentation, and flight planning to capture flight loads for certifiable design verification.Delegate chief engineer for Change Control Board authorization of all drawing changes to control proper product baseline, sustainment, and minimize budgetary spending. Also represented Chief Engineer in design reviews, customer meetings, and flight test activities and weighed-in on the technical, schedule, and budget needs of the program.Works closely with Program Management to define work scope, deliverables, budget estimates and schedule for next year and future years tasking to support IRAD and customer program(s).

I am a systems engineer working on the integration of our certifiable predator B (SkyGuardian) aircraft platform. Responsible for ensuring the proper integration of all components of the build to ensure successful flight testing as the next step. I'm also in charge of our programs sustainability and configuration management.

Performing engineering support for the R&D facility for General Atomics - Aeronautical Systems. Our primary aircrafts are the UAV's Predator Avenger C, Predator B (MQ-9 Reaper), Predator A (MQ-1), and Predator A (Grey Eagle). I assist the manufacturing build for first time prototype builds and internal research and development projects. We specialize in composite structures, airframe design, fuel systems, and new product development.

As a Liaison Engineer I am responsible for producing and authorizing engineering repairs for aircraft component damage that exceeded the allowable limits of the OEM design. This includes extensive research into the OEM designs as well as inspecting the parts of damage, issuing repair steps to follow, and rigorous substantiation to prove the repair\ maintains the airworthiness of the aircraft. As a Technical Trainer I am part of a team of high level employees tasked with optimizing the… Show more As a Liaison Engineer I am responsible for producing and authorizing engineering repairs for aircraft component damage that exceeded the allowable limits of the OEM design.

As a Technical Trainer I am part of a team of high level employees tasked with optimizing the repair facility in Tulsa, OK. This includes a detailed analysis of the current layout and applying my knowledge in lean six/sigma in proposing a more efficient and structured layout that not only reduces the current footprint of the facility but also on space reduction to incorporate another division within the same building. I was also responsible for producing standard work documents that allowed for repair workers not familiar with a particular component the ability to properly perform its repair. Show less

I got the amazing opportunity to not only be a staff member on two Jewish teen based tours but was also a positive Jewish role model to all participants on my trips. I was granted the ability to staff two trips in the Summer of 2014 for Jewish teens all across the United States as well as Israel.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory not only produced the mandated TCAS for all commercial flight but was working on the upgraded and more efficient version to be implemented in the future. I worked on producing an algorithm based on Gaussian Processes that allowed for the optimization of control parameters to produce more accurate results for the future collision avoidance systems.
