2022

Senior Avionics Systems Engineer, Scrum Lead

Wisk Aero LLC
May 2022 — Present

Owned end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle for Vehicle Management System (VMS) and Actuation System, including requirements definition, system architecture, and V&V. Served as VMS/Actuation SME across Ironbird, SITS, and flight test environments, leading root cause analysis and driving resolution across software, hardware, and integration teams.

  • Led system-level debugging and issue triage during integration and flight test
  • Drove cross-functional alignment across software, hardware, safety, and integration teams
  • Designed and executed test strategies to validate system behavior under nominal, degraded, and failure conditions
  • Analyzed large-scale simulation and flight test data using Python and MATLAB
  • Scrum Lead for Flight Control System team, driving execution and aligning cross-functional teams
2020

Avionics Systems Engineer

Lockheed Martin
August 2020 — May 2022

Developed and decomposed system requirements for FLRAA (DEFIANT X) and UH-60M Blackhawk platforms. Performed system-level analysis and simulation to investigate aircraft performance limitations. Developed Software Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (SFMECA) to identify hazards, assess risk, and validate design redundancy strategies.

  • Conducted system integration lab (SIL) testing to verify avionics systems against requirements
  • Authored Engineering Test Procedures (ETPs) and Engineering Test Reports (ETRs)
  • Conducted trade studies to ensure compliance with FAA, RTCA/DO, SAE, and MIL-STD standards
  • Developed requirements for FLRAA and UH-60M platforms
