Patuxent River Naval Air Station , MD
2016 - 2018

Duties: Fabrication, installation and operational support of instrumentation

and data acquisition systems. I've built and installed wiring harnesses in aircraft such

as F/A-18, AH-1, E-2, C-2, P-3, H-60, H-53, V-22, C-130, Fire Scout UAV, Global Hawk (UAV) and other various aircraft. I've also worked with accelerometers, strain gauges, 1553 bus monitor / simulator, pressure transducers, position pots, recorders, cameras, and high speed video, utilizing wiring diagrams and technical information provided by engineers and senior technicians to develop, fabricate, test, install, maintain and evaluate the prototype instrumentation packages. Examples of some of the packages are: system racks, power distribution units (PDU's), Video System wiring (harbor cable), coax, twin-ax, tri-ax, Ethernet, twisted-shielded pair, multi-pin connectors, parallel bus wires and fiber optics.

Perform pre and post-flight operational checks on prototype instrumentation systems such as

ASVS, JPALS and NEXGEN, using specialized equipment such as multi-meters,

Toughbook laptops with software programs such as Omega Manager, Data Reformat Utility while maintaining compliance with the NAVAIR 01-1A-505 installation practices.

Perform "self-check" prior to notification of safety and inspection /
