As a Data and Controls engineer, I ensured test stand readiness and supported operations for the Aeon 1, Aeon Vac, and initial Aeon R development and qualification testing. Additionally, I acted as the test team PoC for all avionics hardware integration with test systems, and designed, built, and supported the Terran 1 launch site vehicle support infrastructure. • As the avionics point of contact, I became familiar with engine and stage-level avionics hardware and harnessing, and on many occasions would personally execute repairs of dev articles in-situ, preventing multiple-day testing delays from returning hardware to California for repair • By communicating and coordinating design requirements and operational realities between Factory, Test, and Launch site teams, I ensured the design of vehicle electrical support equipment met the changing needs of Terran 1 and handled installation and activation, crucial to bringing LC-16 online for launch. • On a day-to-day basis, I worked with a team of DACS engineers to handle the operational support of engines, including specifying and coordinating the installation of pressure transducers, thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, load cells, and other instrumentation as required • Beyond my regular duties, I frequently supported critical company milestones by assisting in designing and coordinating flight-like harnessing and proxy systems for test articles, filling a gap in available engineering capacity.

During my senior year as the first YJSP Avionics Hardware Lead, I guided a subteam of 25 students through design, CDR, PDR, and first prototype manufacture of the flight avionics system and ground data and controls system. • Using my knowledge of propulsion and avionics systems, I laid out a systems architecture with team stakeholders in propulsion and flight dynamics, and created the architecture that would fly on Subscale in 2023. • Drawing on experience from my internship, I taught 25 students to use Altium Designer and design robust and entirely-custom circuit boards in 9 months, while creating recordings and tutorials that enabled future students to achieve the same. • Over the course of one semester, I personally designed a flight and ground data acquisition system, while managing the teams developing four interoperating boards of the flight avionics stack to produce our first full-system prototype.

During my internship, I supported Aeon 1 test operations, contributed GSE hardware designs saving hundreds of man-hours of technician time, prototyped avionics hardware, and automated site weather warnings. • Designed and manufactured custom PCBs supporting intrinsically safe sensors such as pressure trandsucers, thermocouples, RTDs, and limit switches, saving hundreds of hours by eliminating labor-intensive terminal block designs during stand build-outs • Cross-trained with the Avionics team during COVID shutdown designing dev boards for flight designs, becoming familiar with Altium designer and saving time for other avionics engineers • Automated video data offload using Python scripts, cutting export time by hours per test and enabling faster analysis and test turnaround • Wrote a Python script parsing weather alerts from NASA and sending them live via company chat using a REST API, allowing for real time lightning warnings on employee computers and mobile devices
