Responsible for obsolescence re-designing of an Energy Detector, 6 month effort. Prototype board build/test, successfully completed ahead of schedule.

New Lightweight IRCM Proposal Design (Analog and digital), adding a transmitter capability to current fielded systems.

Electrical Lead supporting SALT and HPMBL engineering programs.

Insource Power Supply Qualification Program Lead CMWS

Program Engineering Lead for the classified Environmental Qualification, of the Insource Power Supplies for the CMWS program. Successfully completed all activities (Temp, altitude, vibration, EMI) within estimated time. Qualification included report generation for the 4 phases of qualification testing with customer submittals.

Bridge Program, CCA Respin Effort (Pointer Tracker Lead)

Reviewing current board designs for the Pointer Tracker, incorporating any updates and DMS issues found during the Technical Development phase. On time with re-design, reviews and prototype board builds. Redesigned the power supply board for issues found during the next program phase. Prototype build and test with no design issues identified. Designed for manufacturing test/production with internal board self-testing.

UK Mantis Program, Hardware Manager

S&TS (Survivability & Targeting Solutions), Advanced Capture Solutions, Hardware Engineering Lead for the development of a new technology insertion, countermeasure system. The existing program currently uses lamps as a means for platform protection, the new proposed system replaces these lamps with laser diodes.
