EXPERIENCE

TEST ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT(Summer Intern)
Part of a group of five engineers which developed a
computerized Test Equipment for fuel pumps in
aircrafts. I designed the front and back
panel , as well as generating schematics for
the internal circuitry of the entire Test Box and
the cables needed for the Test Box .
Secondly, I designed and built a PLC test box, which was attached to a bigger
test stand used for testing the rate of fuel flow in the aircraft pumps
produced by the company.
Lastly, I came up with a design which solved the company's problem of wrong
installation of their Linear Variable Differential Transformer's (LVDT) output
connectors on their BBVA and VSVA actuators. The design is now implemented on
all the BBVA and VAVS actuators the company produces.
