About Joel Alva

Aerospace Engineer with 5+ years of experience supporting airline Technical Operations through airworthiness compliance, configuration management, and technical records accuracy across aircraft, engines, and components.Currently supporting United Airlines, where I work on maintenance forecast reviews, task interval adjustments based on maintenance accomplishments, AD/SB lifecycle management, and configuration control using SCEPTRE. My role involves ensuring accurate reflection of maintenance actions through event-history verification, TSN/TSO validation, and resolution of configuration discrepancies that directly impact aircraft availability and regulatory compliance.I have supported high-visibility regulatory initiatives, including the Boeing 737-9 MAX Emergency AD inspections, and led a PowerBI-based compliance improvement initiative to strengthen audit readiness and planning accuracy. I regularly collaborate with Engineering, Planning, TOMC/ MCC, QA, and Maintenance teams, and have experience mentoring analysts in regulatory and configuration processes.I am interested in engineering roles focused on airworthiness, aircraft/engine records, reliability, and technical operations, where precision, compliance, and operational impact are critical.
