• Led five-person development team for avionics installation designs on multiple Part 27 and 29 rotorcraft. Supervised initial on-site installations of avionics on aircraft.
• Provided senior approval on all engineering CAD drawings produced for avionics installations.
• Primary point of contact for interfacing with multiple customers. Developed customer-driven requirements and implemented engineering design changes based on customer feedback.
• Developed advanced digital signal processing algorithms for increasing signal to noise ratio in vibration-based drive train diagnostics.
• Designed and trained support vector machine classifier to successfully identify high degrees of backlash in marine hydrokinetic devices using parametric data inputs.
• Analyzed drivetrain vibration data for AH-64, MH-6, CH-47, OH-58 and UH-60 variants for US Army Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) program.

- Analyzed Army Aviation Engineering Directorate vibration data.- Developed custom MATLAB-based GUI for visualizing large quantities of rotorcraft vibration data.
