Aerospace Manufacturing

Hi, I’m Aidan Murray, an aerospace engineering student focused on manufacturing, AIT, and production-ready design.

I work at the intersection of design and the factory floor, supporting manufacturing teams through CAD updates, drawing redlines, NCR resolution, and clear build documentation. My experience spans CNC machining, fixture and harness design support, and rapid prototyping for aerospace hardware and large-scale RC aircraft. I’m comfortable collaborating with technicians and engineers to resolve build issues and improve manufacturing flow.

In Brief

Bridging design intent and manufacturing execution

From first tooling concepts to factory ramp, I translate design intent into fixtures, documentation, and training.

I support manufacturing and AIT teams by translating engineering changes into clear, buildable documentation and CAD updates. My work includes drawing redlines, NCR root-cause analysis, fixture and harness documentation, and rapid prototyping to resolve production issues.

I work closely with technicians and engineers to clarify design intent, reduce rework, and keep builds moving. The projects below show how I approach ambiguous problems, communicate across teams, and deliver practical solutions in production and prototyping environments.

Representative work across manufacturing support, documentation, and production engineering.

Case Study

Harness Assembly Instructions & Documentation Standardization

Harness builds relied on tribal knowledge and inconsistent documentation, creating confusion during assembly and handoff between design, manufacturing, and integration, increasing the risk of rework.

Role
Manufacturing Engineering InternBlue Canyon Technologies • May–Aug 2025

Assembly documentation and process support (no electrical design ownership).

Tools & Skills

Outcome
Created standardized harness assembly instructions with defined routing, labeling, and step-by-step build guidance.

No proprietary drawings or part identifiers are shown.

Case Study

NCR Resolution & Drawing Redlines for Production Support

Build issues and unclear documentation created slowdowns and rework risk during manufacturing and integration, requiring fast, accurate clarification of design intent.

Role
Manufacturing Engineering InternBlue Canyon Technologies • May–Aug 2025

Non-conformance support, drawing redlines, and documentation updates (no design authority).

Tools & Skills
ArasIONVisioDrawing redlinesNCR workflowsRoot-cause analysisCross-functional communication
Outcome
Investigated non-conformances and documented findings to support corrective actions and next-build execution.

Details are generalized; no proprietary part numbers, drawings, or internal reports are shown.
