Experience

Systems Engineer Oct 2009 －May 2012 General Dynamics Columbia, MD

Organized the performance of Enterprise-Level systems engineering analyses against needs, requirements and the implementation of comprehensive Service-Oriented (SOA) solutions. Performed the migration of FAA's National Airspace System (NAS),Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) Flight Services Requirements documents into the Dynamic-Object Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) software tool. Led the development of a comprehensive set of system documentation and the organization of physical database schema that were extracted from a set of high-level FAA documents. Reduced the systems engineering department's variable labor expenses by a significant factor by employing and designing risk management guidelines, policies and procedures to capture, mitigate and reduce risk for NextGen (Next generation) NAS products. Introduced dramatic improvements in operational efficiency, productivity and internal communications by automating specific job functions, that helped overall to promote collaboration and teamwork among my fellow employees.

Systems Engineer Apr 2009 －Oct 2009 Saic (Science Applications Int.) California, MD Assisted in the identification of Operational Requirements for Constant Hawk (CH) Program-CHA and CHI (Afghanistan & Iraq). These aerial platforms were medium altitude special mission (manned) turboprop tactical reconnaissance aircraft that were used to provide full-motion video and signals intelligence in both theaters of conflict. Also provided Trade Studies Analyses for in-theater use that enabled effective and consistent technical support. Also, developed and managed assessment of Shelters that were used for the Ground Processing Analysis Complex (GPAC).

Systems Engineer/Electronic Engineer Jan 2009 －Apr 2009 Leidos Holdings Inc. Ann Arbor, MI Applied DOORS integrated systems engineering start-up kit to organize and set-up the Surface Mine Countermeasure (SMCM) Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) SOW and Performance Specifications requirements document ported into DOORS. Participated in a Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI). These defined indirect/direct process area artifacts were used to obtain a Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CMMI Level-3 Certification. Established DOORS module templates that defined attributes in the SOW and Performance Specifications documents in the DOORS database schema.

Systems Engineer III Jan 2002 －Jan 2009 Leidos Holdings Inc. Annapolis Junction, MD Reported Ballistic Missile Defense Simulation (BMDS Sim.) capabilities and performance assessments that were made at Missile Development Systems Engineering Team (MDSET) to Missile Defense Integrations & Operations Center (MDIOC), Colorado Springs, Colorado. Represented my Concurrent Test & Training and Operations (CTTO) Team at weekly Program engineering review Board (PERB) meetings. Performed development and analysis as a member of the Missile Defense National Team B (MDNTB). Acted as a technical interface in technical interchange meetings (TIMs) to Missile Defense Agency (MDA) working level counterparts. Working knowledge of DoD/NASA/IEEE/CMI/INCOSE system engineering processes. Obtained, verified, analyzed and modeled BMC2 Scenario Wargame Communications functions that were used for Capability and Performance assessments at the MDIOC customer center.

Senior Engineer Mar 1997 －Jan 2002 Shipt Alabama, NY Performed analysis, modeling, validation, specification and control of mission ground segment that pertained to the flow down of mission requirements for NASA. Coordinated specific project and engineering activities across the various work teams and technical disciplines. Organized integrated product development (IPT) teams to develop robust and reliable ground control systems at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt Road, Maryland. Supported telemetry and command processing systems using simulation software to provide support for scientific, earth observation, telecommunications, orbital transport and infrastructure.

Mechanical Engineer May 1993 －Mar 1997 Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Santa Rosa, CA Coordinated Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) with team leaders for successful implementation of Testing and Evaluation (T&E) procedures on detailed simulation analyses using the Extended Air Defense Simulation (EADSIM) modeling and simulation software tool. Planned the successful testing and evaluation (T&E) procedures that were used by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) customer to make effective Weapon Assessments during Wargaming Scenario Exercises.
