Career Achievements

> Implemented Six Sigma technique of statistical process control to

improve first pass yield failure rate on production lines.

> Led effort to develop automatic user interface to allow operators to

input system test data into an MS Access database that compared each

input value against design margins, identify trends, and track

failures in real time, eliminating need to write test values on

classified test sheets. Allowed for retrieval of historical test data.

Set design margin triggers that alerted production floor supervisors

and engineers allowing for timely containment of abnormal process

results. Savings reached $2.7 million.

> Built tool to rapidly search the internet to identify renewable energy

funding opportunities through

all branches of US government and foreign government RFI, RFP, and BAA

solicitations.

> Created technology assessment reports for most widely discussed

renewable energy technologies and employed price to win strategies on

proposal efforts.

> Developed market assessment reports to identify potential competitor's

capabilities, teaming partners,

and analysis of recent awards.

Professional Experience

Raytheon. Plano, Texas. 2005 - 2011.

Principal Systems Engineer. 2010 - 2011.

. Oversaw conversion of all non-accountable test data sheets to

electronic format and destruction of historical data sheets.

. Developed data acquisition system that cataloged test data sheets

and seamlessly retrieved historical data.

. Implemented statistical process control to track failure rates on

production line.

Selected Accomplishments

> Implemented Six Sigma technique of statistical process control

to improve first pass yield failure rate on production lines.

> Led effort to develop automatic user interface to system test

data to be input into MS Access database that compared each

input value against design margins, identify trends, and track

failures in real time, eliminating need to write test values on

classified test sheets. Designed margin triggers that alerted

production floor supervisors and engineers, allowing for timely

containment of abnormal process results. Savings reached $2.7

million.

Energy Solutions Requirements Lead. 2010.

. Developed cost models for renewable energy integration into

existing military installations, built base energy model, and

provided recommendations on quantitative and qualitative metrics on

military installation interface with surround community.

. Led proposal teams during strategy phase; developed technical

sections, risk analysis, and cost volume.

. Led 15 proposal efforts for advanced technical programs in response

to solicitations from The Defense Advanced Research Projects

Administration (DARPA) and Department of Energy.

Selected Accomplishments

> Built tool to rapidly search the internet to identify renewable

energy funding opportunities through

all branches of US government and foreign government RFI, RFP,

and BAA solicitations.

> Created technology assessment reports for most widely discussed

renewable energy technologies.

> Developed market assessment reports to identify potential

competitor's capabilities, teaming partners,

and analysis of recent awards.

Chief Engineer. 2009 - 2010.

. Oversaw all aspects of design and develop for the Army's Acoustic

Locating Array Sensor (ALAS).

. Managed team of 10 engineers for $5 million design effort.

. Developed understanding of ALAS performance requirements,

architecture, modeling and analysis software to resolve

requirements and algorithm verification issues.

. Led numerous customer technical briefings to resolve sensor

performance issues.

Selected Accomplishments

> Assumed role of Acoustics SME on the ALAS product team, rapidly

developed understanding of

performance requirements, architecture, modeling, and analysis

software to resolve requirements issues and algorithm

verification issues.

> Hosted customer briefings that led to use of industry standard

acoustic modeling software (SPEBE) to evaluate sensors'

performance.

> Conducted and oversaw customer requested field testing as a

result of modeling results.

Process Lead Engineer. 2008 - 2009.

. Led team of 3 process engineers to address lack of historical cost

and performance metrics for future proposal development.

. Developed metrics process that provided an optimum tool solution

for historical program metrics and closely tracked the program's

monthly progress.

. Enabled real-time recognition of problems in staffing, defect

containment, requirements size, requirements volatility, DMI,

productivity, and TPMs, as well as potential impacts for timely

risk mitigation.

Selected Accomplishments

> Lead effort to satisfy requirements of corporate metrics audit

of the future combat systems program.

> Responded to urgent need address lack of program financial and

performance metrics flowing to corporate for use on future

proposal efforts. Assembled team of engineers, diagnosed

problems, developed metrics process that provided solution for

historical program metrics and closely tracked SoSEs monthly

progress. Capability allowed real-time problem recognition,

resulting in $3.2 million saving over next 6 proposal efforts.

Chief Engineer. 2003 - 2008.

. Managed and reported cost and schedule variances for 14 sub-

contractors on a $75 million program.

. Monitored and reported cost and schedule data to program management

and customer briefings.

. Led proposal effort to capture Army's Wireless Activation and

Detection of Nanotube Oscillators (WADNO).

. Managed team of 6 engineers and 4 subcontractors through the

capture and execution of the program worth $2.5 million.

. Completed all customer reviews within contracted cost and schedule

constraints.

Selected Accomplishments

> Principal investigator and lead technical writer for

nanomaterials program. Reviewed scientific journals to predict

and forecast current and future technologies that directly

support Urban Warfighting Operations.

> Conceptualized, presented, and developed Raytheon's first

nanotechnology program from DARPA: Wireless Activation and

Detection of Nanotube Oscillators (WADNO). Led team of 5

subcontractors and 3 engineers for 15 month duration of $1.6

million project.
