  Aerospace Maintenance Solutions

  I was responsible for the design, production, and documentation of electronic test equipment and written test procedures for avionic equipment. Designs include AutoCAD panel layouts, circuit design and analysis, circuit card layout and assembly, enclosure fabrication, cable building, and wiring of the assembly. I evaluated and repaired an array of military aviation electronics for the C-130, F-16, CH-37, and other aircraft. The repair process often required an in-depth analysis of the circuitry in order to find the component-level faults.
