SUMMARY
Electrical Engineer with extensive experience in systems engineering and
testing. Highly skilled in requirements development and test procedure
preparation. Strongest attribute is uncovering hidden faults that have
escaped previous detection and lie dormant waiting to strike.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
BAE SYSTEMS, Fridley, MN, and Washington DC
Developer of Army Combat Systems
and Engineering Support Provider to FAA 1999-2010
Senior Systems Engineer, Washington, DC, 2010 - Present
Performed detailed requirements analysis for FAA NAS ERAM. Developed
collision risk probability models
. Analyzed requirements for FAA ERAM system upgrade, resulting in timely
provision of corrections and updates to requesting client as to
testability and completeness.
. Generated data streams required to populate base nodes of Runway
Collision probability model, resulting in more accurate predictions
from the model
. Created structure and node descriptions for Taxiway Collision
probability model, generating cost savings by reusing many components
from the Runway Collision model.
Software Staff Engineer, Fridley, MN, 2002-2009
Performed final system test on completed robotic cannon system. Tested
cannon software in simulation lab environment.
. Created automated software loading system to update code on system
hardware, resulting in a time saving of 95% from previous manual
system.
. Performed system demonstrations for customer representatives, which
were singularly instrumental in keeping development project funded.
. Created test procedure for final buy-off of software, ensuring
customer acceptance of the final product.
. Created automated test scripts to increase efficiency and
repeatability of testing.
. Tested software and hardware together, troubleshot and solved many
problems previously undiscovered.
. Identified and escalated discovered issues to development staff,
verified implementation and operation of solutions.
. Created system safety requirements for cannon, resulting in the
ability to create much more robust code that accurately reflected the
complex and dangerous nature of a system designed to handle high
explosives.

requirements to enable formalized test of B1B Defensive Avionics.
Engineer Senior, Oklahoma City, OK, 1995-1997
Created automated analysis software to verify results of tests conducted
on simulation system for B1B Offensive Avionics. Created test procedures
for Simulation System used for Offensive Avionics system for B1B aircraft
. Identified, troubleshot, and solved issues revealed during test of
simulation system.
. Tested Simulation System for B1B Offensive Avionics to certify
readiness for use in actual avionics tests, permitting the simulation
system to be used in subsequent verification tests on the actual
software product.
Engineer II Seattle, WA, 1991-1995
Supported FAA Certification Test on data communications software.
Conducted functional tests on 777 Aircraft platform, and Conducted tests
of software in testing lab environment.
. Developed fault handling and recovery portion of 777 Aircraft Data
Communication System, allowing acceptance tests to be performed
successfully on this software subsystem.
. Selected as primary responsible engineer for System Level test
facility in 777 Avionics lab, used for preparatory tests on several
software segments of 777 avionics.
