Launch and Test Ops Intern

• Jun 2021 - Aug 2021

o Created GUI Diagrams based on a P&ID of GS0 that transfers cryogenic fuel and pressurant gases to the Stage 1 E2 Engines o The GUI included labels of throttle valves, regulators, accumulators, solenoid valves, and roughly 100 other sensors or valves o Led a project that fed TEA-TEB to our Stage 2 E-2 engine on our test stand, and will be used on the launch pad, where I ordered different check valves, pressure transducers, M12 connectors, and documented all my work on a confluence page o Helped operate AVI calibration procedures on GS0 by finishing electrical wiring on throttle valves, collecting missing information on mastering wiring list, and differentiating dialog and analog valves/sensors o Owned an issue ticket for flight hardware that required me to find and document where limit switch harnesses were connected and if there were mechanical issues with the valves Show less
