Research and Development/Production Engineer at I-Tec. I am following up on the projects I've been working on the last 4 summer's I have interned here. We have developed and are producing a road-legal, off-road capable, flying car. Project Website is mavericklsa.com. Since I started in June, responsibilities have included drafting, and updating system components as we transition from prototype to full scale manufacturing. I machine many of my own prototypes and facilitate testing and documentation. I work with the shop manager to develop tooling and I assist in the documentation of parts and processes. I have also worked extensively on the testing and documentation necessary to comply with the ASTM standards for our vehicle. FAA Airworthiness Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) certification was achieved on Sept. 28 2010.
