Aerospace-focused junior project engineer blending CAD, GD&T, and aircraft component analysis to build reliable designs.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an aerospace role where I can apply SolidWorks, GD&T, reverse engineering, and FMEA to support reliable aircraft component design. I enjoy work that includes regulatory documentation, engineering change analysis, and close collaboration with production and quality.

I’m a Junior Project Engineer working on aerospace components through reverse engineering, detailed engineering drawings, and 3D models. I apply GD&T for inspection, tolerance analysis, and repair feasibility, and I support design validation through FMEA and material analysis.

I also contribute to engineering change analysis and resolve design-related issues, while working on aerospace regulatory documentation including PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) to ensure compliance with certification requirements. My goal is to connect strong engineering fundamentals with practical, reliability-driven outcomes.

Before my current role, I completed aerospace internships across aerostructure assembly and helicopter MRO activities, where I interpreted engineering drawings, supported structural inspection and damage assessment, and collaborated with production and quality teams. I bring that hands-on mindset into my work, along with practical experience in process optimization and cycle time analysis.
