About Melissa Petersen

I have been working in Aerospace Engineering for 9 years now at Rolls-Royce, spanning a variety of 10 different roles in 3 different geographical locations – including 3 internships, 4 Engineering Graduate Rotations, 2 longer roles on the Extended Leadership Development Program, and my current role as a Systems & Digital Designer supporting the B-52 CERP Program and the V-280 Valor Program. From 2016-2018, I held accountability on a Technology Demonstrator Program as an HP Turbine Project Lead, where I led delivery of components within the entire HP Turbine from design through manufacturing. From March 2018 to February 2019, I held a technical role as a Systems Design & Integration Engineer in LibertyWorks to gain further technical experience in systems integration, hybrid-electric technology, and advanced platforms in Future Programs. As a LibertyWorks systems designer, I supported a number of programs spanning from E-Fan X, M250 Hybrid, and fast-paced small engine development. I joined the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) proposal team in 2019 as a Systems & Digital Design Technical Specialist, supporting Advanced Platforms. My role includes B-52 Systems Integration and deployment of Digital Capabilities, such as Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), across several programs in Defense. Over the next few years, I look forward to continuing to expand, develop, and use my System Design Integration skillset to develop future aerospace products.
