Provided contract engineering and project management support to US Air Force missile maintenance projects.Performed producibility research, updated specifications to modern standards and developed technical requirements for qualification, first article, and lot acceptance testing on several large ICBM acquisition programsWrote testing requirements documents, Statements of Work and developed Contract Line Item Number and Contract Data Requirements List structures for Firm Fixed Price contract Purchase Requests and Solicitations totaling over $100M in valueManaged the Minuteman III ordnance Aging and Surveillance testing program. Worked with the munitions test group to develop test plans and procedures to meet ordnance project office requirements for non-destructive testing, environmental conditioning, and function testingPerformed research into the initial development of legacy ICBM missile system components, originally conducted in the 1960s. Developed technical requirements for new and replacement missile components based on this researchDeveloped interactive visual models for complex electronic missile components in VBAInvestigated testing procedures and performed root cause analysis when missile components failed to meet program requirements. Developed corrective action measures to ensure compliance with component specifications

Proposed and managed multiple demilitarization projects funded through the Joint Munitions Command (JMC) totaling over $1,500,000 in revenueLed investigation into the alleged theft of several Vietnam era hand grenades during a large repackaging operation. Interviewed witnesses, reviewed security footage, and analyzed tracking paperwork. Located the missing grenades and prevented a pending investigation by the FBILed investigation into polychlorinated dibenzodioxin/furan (PCDD/PCDF) emissions failures for that were the cause of a number of State EPA fines. Developed and implemented corrective actions that resulted in emissions well below the state and federal allowable limitsDeveloped demilitarization processes for various ordinance systems and subcomponentsOptimized existing demilitarization processes through use of Lean Six Sigma tools and methodsLed safety investigation after an employee lost her hand during a demilitarization process for cluster bomb munitions. Designed circuitry modifications and installed proximity laser scanners for machine guarding of the large hydraulic equipment that caused the accident. Converted an obsolete explosives testing facility into a modern analytical laboratory capable of insourcing all chemical and environmental testing at Hawthorne Army Depot. Performed or supervised all project tasks between the initial purchase of analytical equipment (GC, LC, AA, TGA, LC/MS, HPLC) and the submittal of documents required for certification as a quality verified and legally compliant laboratory in the state of Nevada. The on-site laboratory eliminated yearly expenses equivalent to 3-6% of gross revenue at the Depot and enabled the potential for expansion into the civilian sectorOptimized laboratory productivity and workflow through development of an automated data management and reporting system in MS Access.
