  Served as lead technician on S76-D program s EBTF for power distribution, Rotor Ice Prevention System (RIPS), and Blade De-Ice System; troubleshot a partially constructed EBTF to identify and correct existing problems with the DC Power Distribution System wiring.

  Implementation of project procedures allowed engineers to begin testing the DC Power Distribution System, leading to the first flight of S76-D on time.

  Applied sharp technical documentation skills to provide a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail to reduce functional flaws during initial testing phases of Base line AC as well as #1 and #2 RIPS systems.

  Facilitated EBTF testing initiatives by assisting engineers; hooked up grounding faults and load banks; troubleshot systems when results varied from expectations; devised solutions to design issues.

  Served as member of team to build up CMHP Cockpit Systems Integration Lab (CSIL) by building a power system relay panel for switching from facility power to EBTF power for the CSIL; constructed many pallets for avionics equipment wiring from schematics and wiring diagrams being integrated into CSIL; troubleshot avionic systems; incorporated changes as designs were revised.
