• Part of a 3-person team that is managing an Embraer airframe system level HIRF/lightning test – a first• Led ten test engineers and three designers in transitioning two NPI Airbus projects into production with key operations in Malaysia and Washington State• Wrote justifications to obtain $1.1M CER funding in an increasingly cost conscious climate• Developed high volume CCA line implementing optical inspection, X-ray of BGAs, ICT, and functional test• Provided technical coordination with third party vendors (AAI & Instrumentation Engineering) and engineering consultants for major ATEs and custom software as well as with the CCA supplier• Implemented plans for EAR-compliant out sourcing and commissioning of CCA test equipment, custom test software, and procedures along with training Plexus engineering personnel in a highly structured setting• Authored the requirements and partnered with IT to develop the independent, internal Eldec Test Network

Lynnwood, Wa

* Supervised more than thirteen direct and nine contract employees of various educational and skill levels* Worked interventions to assist two employees to transition from near-PIP level to “B” employees* Teamed with HR and agencies to recruit and retain engineering talent in a challenging job market* Developed task logs with macros, a tool used weekly by engineering staff to report current status and goals* Identified by management as exemplary employee in the category of responsiveness

Lynnwood, Wa

* Designed intrinsically safe hardware and software (for classified hazardous location) to perform semi-automated calibration of mass-flow fuel flow transmitters at high temperature* Contributing author and editor for department’s Test Equipment Development Process, EIS 0540-003. Developed protocol standards for the network archival of all engineering data with retention requirements

Lynnwood, Wa

* Wrote QTP, QTR, and directed qualification test for Boeing Defense Systems small diameter bomb carriage system power supply; product team met schedule and received customer commendation and Kudo awards* Authored technical white paper detailing a quantitative approach for selecting the thermocouple type

* Reduced touch-time by 80% for electrical safety testing by designing a completely automated system, the test scripts which drive it, and its software validation procedures* Designed the methodology to trace design specifications from customer requirement through end-item test procedure using existing software applications. Quality improved and audits had fewer findings* Developed a hierarchic test system for a hemo-diafiltration device that maximized test intelligence at each build stage, thus allowing detection of problems when the cost to correct was a minimum

* Discovered subtle yet significant design problem while managing an Icing Qualification Test for the Boeing 777 Ram Air Turbine; the produce design was modified as a result of this discovery* Wrote GPIB test software to command and control Spectral Dynamics 380 spectral analyzer; automating this tool reduced resonance search time by approximately 30 minutes per axis per end item* Eliminated manual calculations by writing software used with a centrifuge to determine the UUT mounting orientation needed to deliver specified acceleration loads simultaneously in three axes* Designed a test system permitting simultaneous life cycle testing of multiple actuators used on the International Space Station, thereby ensuring the aggressive schedule for the launch window was met* Developed department software archival methodology and training materials* Developed engineering development test system for fuel cell R & D project using proton exchange membrane
