Ishika Verma

• Owned and guided mechanical and aeromechanical HPC airfoil design modifications with the Aerodynamics Team driving technical decisions and successfully matured stator design to Phase 2 readiness • Collaborated with cross-functional and international teams to develop budgets, create technical models, and design test plans to advance key technology to the next Technology Readiness Level (TRL) • Performed 50+ simulations to evaluate airfoil performance and extract critical mechanical and aeromechanical data using proprietary analytical software • Organizes tours and nationwide events as part of a Professional Development Committee, fostering engagement and industry exposure for 400+ GE Aerospace interns

• Designed, developed, modified, and evaluated electronic packaging systems to meet performance and manufacturability requirements • Applied Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) techniques on new and existing product designs • Supported vibration and thermal testing by designing test setups and utilizing GD&T to create assembly drawings • Collaborated with vendors to ensure product performance is up to product specifications and provided solutions to technical concerns

• Developed, executed, and documented testing for 3 rocket engine ignition systems for pressure cycling, temperature variation, and peel • Performed detailed tolerance stack-up analysis for subcomponents and full exciter systems, improving quality assurance checks • Evaluated more than 30 technical drawings to determine viability for future updates planned by development teams • As Professional Development Committee Chair, organized and hosted 5 major panels to represent GE Aerospace, where I spoke with 10+ company executives and networked for fellow interns
