Architect, model and build Support Systems and GSE, driving hardware from concept down-selection through CAD, physical prototyping and fielded customer demonstrations.

Design the aircraft's transport configuration and equipment: cradles, transport skids, lifting and tie-down provisions, and container load-outs, validated against the container envelope with CAD and full-scale fit checks.

Rapidly build full-scale mock-ups and functional prototypes to de-risk handling, loading and servicing concepts before committing to flight hardware.

Design and run lean, right-sized test plans for new mechanisms and equipment, and feed the results straight back into CAD and hardware revisions.

Design rugged equipment for austere field and expeditionary use, including shipment by road, sea and air, with field survivability, reliability and human factors (team lift, reach, gloved operation) designed in.

Design out physical hazards at the component level using MIL-STD-882E principles, with built-in mechanical safeguards and clear handling and servicing procedures.

Work with the vehicle, payload and mission systems teams to adapt the existing platform's lifting, jacking, handling, payload, and servicing provisions to the modified aircraft.

Release GSE into production: drawings, BOMs, part numbers and kits; make build-versus-buy and commercial-equipment selection calls; and support vendors and the shop through fabrication.

Write and maintain the technical content for ground handling, transport and GSE procedures in the maintenance and support documentation.

Keep configuration control across fast-moving prototype builds, test fixtures, mock-ups and field-trial assets.

Travel to test and field sites to support build, test and deployment.
