Amy (Curtin) Shwisha is a lead engineer in the Preliminary Design Group at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, CT (www.sikorsky.com). As a lead engineer, Amy provides technical support to the sales group. In this role, Amy interacts with many different business units from platform engineering, to sales and marketing to legal and export controls. Working primarily on International and U.S. Government proposals, Amy provides support for upgrades/modifications to existing platforms, systems engineering and new technologies.
Previously, Amy worked at Kaman Aerospace Corporation in Bloomfield, CT where she began her career in airframe design using UniGraphics 3-D modeling software to design new cockpits and cabin arrangements for SH-2G helicopters. She eventually transitioned into a business development role at Kaman, a small-family owned company, which provided unlimited opportunities for learning all aspects of civil and military helicopter design and operations. This prepared her for her current job at Sikorsky.
Amy received the Young Alumni Award from CCSU in 2001. Additional achievements as an officer in the American Helicopter Society include: Most New Members (1998, 1999) and Greatest Percentage Member Increase (1998).
