While working as a mechanical engineer at ITT Corporation (acquired by L3Harris Technologies) within the Antenna Products & Technologies group, I gained a wealth of experience in developing electromechanical systems for the aerospace industry and Department of Defense. I was involved with in a complete development process, from design and analysis to production and testing. At ITT Corporation, I created products for a wide array of platforms including individual soldiers, ground-mobile, aircraft, satellites, and the International Space Station.

On a day to day basis, I was responsible for the design of antenna hardware that would be subjected to some of the harshest environments imaginable. Through this experience I developed a solid skillset including computer aided design, finite element analysis, and design for manufacturing. I also worked with the on-site manufacturing teams to produce multi-volume hardware builds. Specifically, I was able to gain hands on experience in the fabrication of composite, metal, and plastic components. Upon completion of product builds, I oversaw on-site environmental testing including thermal, vibration, and electrical testing. As part of qualification testing, I devised and authored qualification testing procedures. I was also tasked with the responsibility of managing numerous projects and successfully guided them through production while linking diverse teams, managing external subcontractors and suppliers.
