Structural repairs and tooling

I was a structures and avionics engineering intern at Western Aircraft. In SolidWorks I drew major structural repairs and alterations on the Pilatus PC-12, Gulfstream G550 and Beechcraft King Air, held to structural and airworthiness requirements. I also developed specialized tooling, with its drawings, for the Pilatus PC-24 and PC-12 and the Dassault Falcon.

The job put me alongside maintenance and avionics technicians, tool room and warehouse managers, safety leads and sales managers: the whole of a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) shop.
