LOCKHEED MARTIN CO. - Middle River, MD

Staff Engineer, 2005 to May 2010

Hold concurrent responsibilities as ATE (Automated Test Equipment) lead,

IPT (Integrated Product Team) program planner and lead, and technical/QA

lead for both in-house-built and purchased electronic test equipment as

well as homeland security communications solutions. Guide cross-discipline

engineering teams (system, hardware, electrical, mechanical, software,

integration, and test engineers) in all phases of product/solutions

development, supervising up to 35 professionals per project in building

hardware/software simulators and in carrying out systems analysis,

debugging, design, integration, FQT (functional qualification testing), and

solutions verification. ATE built for electro / optic / RF - module / board

/ systems with "common core" functionality.

** Key Results:

* Led teams to design, build, test, and deliver custom ATE solutions on

time (or ahead of schedule) for multiple customers, including the U.S. Army

($15M project), U.S. Coast Guard ($13Mproject), U.S. Navy ($10M project),

and Japanese Navy ($7M project).

* Developed next-generation test equipment ensuring the highest level of

product quality available with limited infant mortality.

* Created, delivered, installed, and supported solution for fail-safe

product functioning "out of the box," and devised ATE solutions allowing

for the depot testing of used equipment to determine rework potential.

* Leveraged resourcefulness, problem-solving agility, and negotiation

strengths to overcome numerous product development challenges, including

complex changes in technical specs, customer-driven redesign issues, and

compressed timelines.

* Completed QA evaluation over the entire product lifecycle for several

external test products supported/administered by Lockheed Martin for its

customers. Identified problems and recommended fixes that fully resolved

various issues.

* Proposed communications suite for the U.S. Coast Guard's Homeland

Security application after leading failure analysis that identified the

root cause of numerous quality issues inherent in existing systems.

Provided solutions proposal estimated to accelerate current communications

100-fold, leading to in-progress negotiations for a $150M application

development contract.
