About Brian Tran

I help build Boeing 737 aircraft as an In-Tank Aircraft Mechanic, working on fuel systems and wing structures to install, seal, inspect, and certify critical components inside the aircraft’s integral wing fuel tanks. My work directly supports flight safety, quality, and reliability for each airplane before delivery.I graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Informatics and a minor in Business Administration. My career has been shaped by a passion for hands-on work, problem-solving, and continuous learning, with experience spanning aerospace manufacturing, IT support, and project-based environments.Whether I’m working inside an aircraft wing, troubleshooting complex technical systems, or collaborating across teams, I take pride in craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail. I’m especially interested in roles at the intersection of systems, manufacturing, quality, and operations.Alongside my work in aerospace, I’m also pursuing my interest in real estate through Rockwell Institute, preparing for the Washington State Real Estate Broker exam. Long term, I aim to keep growing at the intersection of technology, aerospace, and business - building reliable systems, strong processes, and meaningful outcomes that help connect people

Experience

1. Integral Fuel Cell Assembler (Ifca) Aircraft Systems Installation & Aerospace Manufacturing

   Boeing

   Nov 2025 — Present · Renton, WA, US

   Renton Factory: Builds the Boeing 737 Family for commercial passenger and cargo flights, and the P-8 Poseidon (737-800) for maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and reconnaissance missionsWhat I Do: I install, seal, and inspect the Boeing 737’s wing and horizontal stabilizer fuel-tank components, ensuring the aircraft’s integral fuel systems are safe, reliable, and leak-free. I work inside confined fuel-tank environments to install tubing, valves, pumps, electrical connectors, bonding/grounding, brackets, fasteners, and structural hardware. I follow Boeing Process Specifications (BPS), blueprints, and quality-inspection requirements to support fuel-system integrity and overall flight readiness. My work helps ensure that every 737-bodied airframe is safe, sealed, and ready for takeoff!Aircraft Systems I Work On:1. Fuel System: Install pumps, valves, quantity probes, tubing, vent lines, and internal components within the aircraft’s integral wing fuel tanks.2. Electrical System: Route and connect wiring, sensors, electrical connectors, and bonding/grounding for fuel-system equipment inside the wing.3. Plumbing System: Install hydraulic and pneumatic tubing, clamps, brackets, and supports that interface with the aircraft’s wing and flight-surface systems.4. Structural System: Work on internal wing structures including ribs, spars, access panels, fasteners, brackets, and sealant-critical areas.
