During my time at the Missile Defense National Team (MDNT), I lead and managed the Test Planning Team for the Systems Integration and Verification division. This included developing Test Objectives and producing Test Plans for all system-level MDNT ground and flight tests, and supporting missile defense architecture development and management of requirements by developing system and interface engagement sequences and timelines for the National Missile Defense Systems Team. I also assisted in definition, analysis, documentation, allocation, and tracing of system and component requirements using customer documents, the System Architect system modeling tool, and DOORS requirements management tool. In addition, I assisted in planning, analyzing, maintaining configuration control, and monitoring information that affected product design, and developed trade studies to expand analysis. My work helped resolve programmatic and technical problems that would affect cost, schedule, and performance. I co-authored the Capabilities and Limitations of the Missile Defense System used by lawmakers and military leaders.

I wrote, reviewed, and updated configuration design requirements in RTM for the Health and Usage Management System (HUMS) for the S92, UH-1Y, AH-1Z, and UH-60L helicopters. In addition, I designed and implemented HUMS Onboard System configuration data based on system and configuration specifications for several functions including Input/Output, Built-In-Test, and Data Management. Also, I developed and wrote Test Scripts, Detailed Test Procedures, Test Reports, System Verification Matrixes, and Flight Readiness Analysis for HUMS, and completed Integration and Validation testing for HUMS using automated test scripts. My work included coordinating with software engineers, lab personnel, applications engineers, quality assurance, and government customers to resolve problems that occured during all phases of system development.

During my time in Seattle, I had three different positions. As a Software Architect for Connexion by Boeing, I developed, documented, and maintained in a Microsoft Access application the Software Message Interface Control Document used by subcontractors, suppliers, and Boeing developers to ensure system software integration. I also wrote, reviewed, and updated software design requirements in UML for the Airborne Electronics Segment.As a Systems Integration and Test Engineer on the Joint Strike Fighter X-32 Aircraft, I wrote, reviewed, and updated software design requirements in DOORS for four systems: Utility Subsystems Controller Fault Management System, Secondary Power System, Environmental Control/ Thermal Management System, and Vortex Fence Actuators. I developed Detailed Test Procedures and Test Reports, and completed Integration, Check-out, and Validation testing for these systems in the Vehicle Management System Integration Laboratory (VIL) and on the aircraft. I coordinated with lab personnel, subsystem engineers, and software engineers to trouble-shoot and resolve problems which occurred in the VIL and on the X32 aircraft during testing.As an Operations Analyst for the Airborne Early Warning System, I developed analytical software in C++ Windows to evaluate surveillance performance and capability in user defined operational scenarios.
