As Director of Mechanical Engineering at Mercury Systems I have the opportunity to tackle a wide range of challenges. One or my main responsibilities is to ensure the timely and efficient execution of mechanical engineering support for the AMS business unit. One of my additional responsibilities is to align Mercury's mechanical engineering teams across the globe on a common set of processes, tools and metrics. This also allows me the opportunity to help build a community for these engineers within Mercury to help leverage lessons learned, provide training sessions from our subject matter experts and also provide an open collaboration platform to take advantage of our centuries of experience.
