      Flight Test Instrumentation is the group in Boeing that designs, installs, and maintains all of the test equipment and data collection systems that are used during Boeing test flights. Testing at Mesa is usually done on defense-related test articles (e.g. Apache helicopter), either for performance validation or service-related problem-solving. I am part of Instrumentation Operations, where I am an aircraft focal engineer, responsible for data system design, build-up, functional check, and support during flights of test aircraft. Show less Flight Test Instrumentation is the group in Boeing that designs, installs, and maintains all of the test equipment and data collection systems that are used during Boeing test flights. Testing is either for large FAA certification programs, defense-related tests, or customer-requested installations for performance validation or in-service problem-solving. I was part of Instrumentation Airplane Crew Support team, where my main role was doing wire diagram design. I was responsible for data system design, including power, signal conditioning, sensors, EMI/EME, shielding, and special-use test equipment support. I was involved with the build-up, functional check, and support of the data systems during flight tests on several different flight test aircraft, including two of the 787-8 initial certification fleet aircraft.
