About

Hi! I’m Avinash Shaw. I bridge the gap between complex stakeholder requirements and high-reliability technical architectures. As a Systems Engineer in the aerospace sector, I specialise in the full engineering lifecycle of safety-critical aircraft electrical systems and avionics communication protocols—from Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to automated verification. Core Expertise: Methodologies: MBSE, Requirements Engineering, V&V, Systems Architecture Design, INCOSE Safety & Standards: ARP4754B, ARP4761A, DO-330, DO-331 Tools: IBM DOORS, IBM Synergy, ALM, Cameo System Modeller, MATLAB, Python, MS Office Technical Domains: Aircraft Electrical Systems - Generation and Distribution sub-systems, Avionics Protocols (e.g., A664, TTP, A429, A825) Backed by a Master's in Nanoscience and Technology from Jadavpur University, I combine a highly analytical research background with hands-on engineering execution to deliver impactful, high-assurance solutions. Let's connect! Available for opportunities and relocation.

Work experience

Lead Engineer at Collins Aerospace, Jun 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India

Associate Engineer at Collins Aerospace, Dec 2023 - Jul 2025 · 1 yr 8 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, I have worked on both commercial and military aircraft programs, including COMAC C919, Airbus A220, and SWITCH (Demonstrator Project). My role involved analyzing different COMMS protocol data and Cross-Communication (Cross-Comms) data to assess system activities. I actively supported requirement and change management using IBM Rational DOORS and Synergy CM, ensuring efficient traceability and project alignment. As part of the systems integration team, I collaborated with hardware and software teams to integrate Secondary Power Distribution Assembly (SPDA) and Electric Power Generation System (EPGS) components across various platforms, with a strong focus on single-aisle aircraft and hybrid electric demonstrator projects. I have modelled LRMs of Secondary Power Distribution Assembly (SPDA) box in Cameo Systems Modeler using SysML. In addition, I contributed in development of a qualified verification tool under agile methodology, which reduced verification efforts by 80%. I conducted comprehensive Verification and Validation (V&V) activities in accordance with DO-330, and ARP4754A standards. I also contributed to customer block point analysis, implementing design changes, updating requirements, and assessing their impact on system performance. My training includes Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using SysML, along with formal knowledge of DO-330 and ARP4754A.
