2009 to present BAE Systems Mechanical Engineering Manager

Primary responsibility is to ensure team’s success by meeting customer’s requirements and delivery milestones within budgetary constraints for over ten different programs. Department is staffed with 6 Mechanical Designers and 2 Mechanical Analysis engineers. Department responsible for successful design, analysis, integration and support of various processor based systems for space applications. Tasks include:

• Cost Account Manager for engineering activities

• Technical proposal participation

• Establishing cost proposals and basis of estimates

• Schedule and milestone planning/tracking

• Customer support

• Resource management across multiple sites

• Program risk mitigation

• Process Improvements

• Capital planning

• Subordinate employee selection and training

2006-2007 System Engineering/PEM:

As Program Engineer Manager (PEM) on the Mini-RF program worked very closely with the Program Manager to ensure all aspects of the engineering community were engaged in meeting customer requirements, schedule and costs. Made arrangements for facilities, staff, tools, and resources so that all program needs were in place when required. The Mini-RF program consists of two dual-polarized Mini-RF Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR’s). PEM for the processors in both the Forerunner satellite launched on the Indian Space Research Organization’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, and LRO Mini-RF on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Forerunner utilized a processor designed and built by SSTL (UK) and the LRO mission which utilized a BAE designed and built processor. The Forerunner segment required managing a foreign subcontractor with ITAR restrictions. Both the Forerunner and LRO programs were very successful.

PEM duties included:

• Provide high quality Systems Engineering services

• Weekly review of program schedule and verified scheduled operations started and completed on time.

• Coordination and execution of major program milestones such as PDR, CDR, MRR, and TRR.

• Validate that programs are executed within allocated budgets and schedule based on factored risks.

• Develop and manage cost, schedule and technical baseline and maintain high cost and schedule performance indices.

• Identified and resolved non-compliances early in the program.

• Management of overseas subcontractor for the mission pathfinder processor maintaining ITAR restrictions.

• Supported initiative to begin a Product Engineering discipline

• Tracking product in the field

• Customer real-time support

• Pre-proposal support

• Product updates
