Hi, I’m David M. Osborne. I bring a highly technical background spanning aerospace engineering, flight test, and hands-on field work, along with hands-on experience in prototype development and technical writing. I’ve led design and testing efforts, created documentation for complex defense systems, and collaborated across multi-disciplinary teams to bring ideas from concept to reality. I thrive in engineering environments that require meticulous attention to detail, rigorous testing, and clear communication. I’m comfortable moving between CAD design, hands-on builds, documentation, and project coordination, and I’m excited to contribute to innovative programs that rely on disciplined engineering and clear, accurate documentation.…Hi, I’m David M.
