12-84 to LockheedMartin Aerospace Denver, CO

09-95Test engineer for flight subsystems. This task involved the development

of automated control procedures (ACPs) and manual test procedures for the

software control used in integration, system and acceptance testing. ACPs were

written in a proprietary test language. Solved problems at all levels of the

hardware/software integration effort. This position involved construction,

conversion, manipulation and configuration management control of multiple

ACPs and a large number of uploadable files and tables that control the

configuration of the unit under test. Debugged and validated the ACPs and

procedures during testing. Changes were documented, recompiled and

rerun in real time until the test executed successfully. Was involved in the post

test data analysis resulting from the test to insure adequacy of the test program

and viability of the unit under test. Generated and utilized SQL queries to insert

and verify information in an Oracle database.

Proposed several problem resolutions/suggestions during test development and test

execution phases. These solutions involved knowledge of the proprietary test language,

test sequence constraints, system architecture and database functions. Presented problems

and solutions to management and customers.

Developed C language test applications to perform pretest data conversions, limit

checking functions and post-test data reporting. These C language applications served to

automate processes which were previously performed manually.
