About ** years of Reliability System Engineering in the areas of requirements, analysis, and validation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Air Vehicle Segment, Communications/Data Link Segment, and Ground Segment Architectures. Nine Years Military hands on maintenance experience as a Senior Naval Air Avionics Petty officer. Very Strong Technical Background based on Design Experience

I PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

NATO UAV RESPONSIBILITIES (Northrop Grumman, 2014 to 2016)

Prepared Reliability/MTBF Analysis of NATO System Equipment

Prepared specifications and Safety (Mil-Std-822D) requirments for the Northop Grumman NATO Global Hawk System, including the Air Vehicle segment, ground segment and communications segment.

Prepared Analysis covering the Air Vehicle, Ground Sgement and UHF, L Band, X Band, KU Band, Ka Band, Voice, Data and C2 Links.

Participated in engineering validation reviews

Prepared Technical Diagrams for presentation to NATO Officers.

Prepared detailed technical documentation and conducted classroom instruction sessions for NATO Engineers.

Provided safety documentation in response to NATO Air Worthiness inquiries.

TRITON MQ-4C RESPONSIBILITIES (Northrop Grumman, 2007 to 2014, 2017 to 2018)

Prepared Reliability/MTBF Analysis of MQ-4C Air and Ground Equipment System Equipment

Prepared specifications and requirments for the Northop Grumman MQ-4C Triton System, including UHF, L Band, X Band, KU Band, Ka Band, Voice, Data and C2 Links.

Prepared detailed FMECA Analysis covering the Air Vehicle, Ground Sgement and Communication Links

Prepared detailed Air Vehicle Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Document

FTA and FMECA and Safety documentation were major referrals for response to Navy Air Worthiness inquiries.

Provided detailed Air Vehicle Flight Control System (FCS) analysis which ultimately reversed Navy Flight Scientist reluctance to approve Air Worthiness.

This reluctance was almost an MQ-4C show stopper.

Prepared the “Blue Book”, the most detailed and comprehensive engineering description of the MQ-4C and Global Hawk Air Vehicle in existence.

Prepared Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) documentation covering the Triton Air Segment, Ground Segment and Communications Segment Hardware and Software Architectures.

Prepared detailed Testability Design and pHM (prognostic & Health Management) documentation source for Technical Manuals and Training.

Prepared a detailed Graphic ICD (Interface Control Document) for the MQ-4C Air Vehicle

Estimated, research and compiled Reliability Data for the MQ-4C Air, Ground, and Communications Segments

Held MQ-4C Technical Instruction sessions for junior and senior Engineers

Detailed knowledge of all MQ-4C Communication Links residing in the both the Air and Ground Segments

FIRE SCOUT B ROTARY UAV RESPONSIBILITIES (Northrop Grumman, 2004 to 2007)

Estimated, research and compiled Reliability Data for the Fire Scout B Air, Ground, and Communications Segments

Prepared the FMECA and safety Documents covering the Air Segment, Ground Segment, and Communications Segment for the Fire Scout B System.

Prepared detailed Troubleshooting Documentation for Fire Scout B Air Segment, Ground Segment, and Communications Segment

Wrote Engineering Design Inofrmation Bulletin (DIB) for the Fire Scout B System

MQ-9A & MQ-9B PREDATOR RESPONSIBILITIES (Gen Atomics Aeronautical Sys Inc, 1995 to 2004)

Established an initial Reliability and Maintainability Department

Estimated, research and compiled Reliability Data for the MQ-9A, Air, Ground and Communications Segments

Prepared the FMECA and safety Documents for the Predator Air Vehicile & Ground Station

Prepared an inital FMECA Document for the Predator B (MQ-9B) Air Vehicile & Ground Station

Designed Test Devices for Testing and Troubleshooting the MQ-9A.

Held Instruction Classes for Italian Engineers to help Italy establish an MQ-9A Manufacturing Facility

Held Training Classes on the MQ-9A and MQ-9B (Reaper) at Nellis AFB and Indian Springs AAFB.
