Design And Development Engineer - Cargo Plane Tail Lead

• Oct 2018 - Jun 2020

- Managed a team of four engineers to design and manufacture a successful tail for an RC cargo plane. - Researched into creating an optimal tail design to maintain in-flight stability preventing unnecessary yaw & pitch. - Utilized FEA to find optimal spar design. - Take conceptualized design through structural tests (Flexure, Reuse, etc.) to identify design flaws. - Managed a team of four engineers to design and manufacture a successful tail for an RC cargo plane. - Researched into creating an optimal tail design to maintain in-flight stability preventing unnecessary yaw & pitch. - Utilized FEA to find optimal spar design. - Take conceptualized design through structural tests (Flexure, Reuse, etc.) to identify design flaws.
