Was tasked with the design and implementation of hydraulic systems on the XB-1 supersonic demonstrator. Using the schematic, laid out plumbing and components, designed required secondary structure, created drawings, and oversaw manufacturing and sourcing of various custom and COTS components. This required working closely with engineers in the Avionics, Landing Gear, Flight Controls, Structures, and Manufacturing teams.

Wrote test plans for 737 and KC-46, troubleshot developmental aircraft components and systems, assisted in instrumentation definitions and data processing/analysis, and coordinated airplane certification programs. Supported flight test execution of 787-10.

Supported instrumentation and data systems for testing of the P-8A and F-15 aircraft. Processed and reviewed data for aircraft systems, structures, flying qualities, noise, and vibration
