This project involved avionics development for an eVTOL research platform, with work spanning sensor integration, simulation, system debugging, and hardware support.

What I Worked On

• integrated IMU and GPS sensor data with Micropilot autopilot systems
• helped support flight stabilization and control workflows
• created ROS and Gazebo simulation workflows to test control logic
• debugged firmware, sensors, and communications across avionics subsystems
• assembled and maintained wire harnesses for IMU, GPS, and telemetry modules

Technical Focus

My role combined both software and hardware support. On the software side, I worked on simulation and validation workflows that helped test avionics behavior before or alongside physical integration. On the hardware side, I supported reliable sensor and power connections by helping assemble and maintain harnessing for critical subsystems.

This balance between software debugging and hardware integration gave me a better understanding of how avionics systems are developed and tested in practice.

What I Learned

This project strengthened my experience with sensor integration, simulation-based validation, and cross-disciplinary debugging. It also gave me valuable exposure to the interaction between embedded hardware, communications, and control logic in aerospace-oriented systems.
