Upon re-forming the discipline specific engineering teams, I am now once again leading the Propulsion Mechanical Systems organization, in which I lead all Propulsion and Fuel System activity for all future, current, and legacy models. This diverse team is responsible for all propulsion related design, analysis, test, and certification activities. At any given time, we have 2-3 aircraft-level propulsion system integrations and several dozen smaller incremental improvement projects in work, coordinate extensively with domestic and foreign regulatory agencies, and hold leadership positions in multiple international aerospace technical committees.

Following a general company reorganization of engineering into a program-based organization rather than a discipline based one, I was asked to lead the remaining diverse collection of engineering teams that were too specialized to redeploy to a program based structure. The DRCS organization included: Doors Design, Doors Certification, Part 23 Flight Controls for fielded products, Reliability for all models, and Interior Stress / Flammability / Dynamic Testing. This organization was one of the only teams supporting multiple models and multiple priorities simultaneously, and therefore played strongly to my abilities in agility, customer focus, and multitasking.Simultaneously, I took on multiple special assignments to assist other areas. One such assignment was personally coordinating all Qualification Testing activity for the M700 Longitude program, including creation of an integrated test facility resource database, dynamically scheduling tests from all disciplines into those facilities, coordination with internal and external suppliers to ensure timely execution of testing, and developing and reporting test completion metrics to executive leadership. A second special project involved coordinating the M700 Power Transfer and Conversion Unit (PTCU) design and certification activity. Here, I again called upon my skills in forming and integrating diverse teams, driving progress on a tight schedule, and coordinating with internal and external resources. This extremely time sensitive, multi-year development effort was brought to successful completion with time to spare for critical customer deliveries.
