 Design of mechanics of sensors, vehicles, and platforms, including but not limited to pressure housing design, static and dynamic seals, high and low pressure fluid transfer, vacuum systems, fixturing (optical, electrical, mechanical), cable splicing, power and data transmission, and overall sensor layout. Engineering support on multiple AUV, ROV, Buoy, and towed platform deployments and operations locally and abroad. Current focus is directed toward running the Bottom Stationing Ocean Profiler project.
