• Work with external stakeholders to develop system requirements, interface documentation, and integration and testing schedules to enhance the combat system’s use of network communications, while maintaining compatibility with existing networks. • Ensure that internal product teams are on track to meeting the development schedule. Facilitate communication between external organizations and internal teams to ensure potential problems are resolved early.
• Architected a service oriented approach to radar integration, delivering software that allowed users to optimize their use of the sensors available. • Implemented an agile development process and led team to develop a series of automated test tools. These changes accelerated the team’s release cadence from 4 months to one week with reduced defect density. • Managed a 12-person agile scrum team responsible for systems engineering/analysis, requirements development, software development, and test. Maintained the team’s schedule based on the prioritized needs of several programs and stakeholders.
• Developed requirements for integrating the SPY-6 radar with the AEGIS combat system to support operator control, situational awareness, and fire control. • Wrote a library of acceptance tests and executed them throughout development to ensure that all system requirements and Technical Performance Measures were met.
Programmed a radio signal demodulation feature into the FastScan portable radio scanner Researched the feasibility of using low power RF methods to remotely disrupt computer systems Participated in an effort to design a new multiband antenna for the Silverfox UAV system that would be more responsive to signals from areas directly below the aircraft Assisted team members in the design/construction of an RF shield for the HIRFAR antenna system Joined the FastScan development team to add a list of new features and test for/resolve any bugs found in the system in anticipation of an upcoming development milestone
Provided logistics support for the Joint Tactical Terminal radio program, which involved drawing up a Statement of Work that outlined the government’s hardware requirements through 2012 Projected the program’s required budget for the coming years by analyzing existing failure data, inflation rates, and the introduction of upgraded parts/software Specialized in interfacing with contractors on any aspects of their Maintenance Allocation Charts (a section of a device’s Technical Manual) that needed improvement in order for them to be acceptable. This included learning how the systems worked and could be taken apart and serviced.
