Created and maintained team budgets, task sheets, schedules, and proposals. Supervised a team of Staff and Senior-level employees with varying backgrounds. Managed assignments in support of program priorities and to ensure all programs were adequately staffed to meet program requirements.

Lead RF engineer responsible for the Communication Navigation Identification Stimulator in the RAIL. Responsible for troubleshooting, maintaining, and designing upgrades for the RF stimulator. Acted as test director by directing and performing both informal integration, anomaly investigations, fix verifications, as well as formal qualification and performance testing. Charged with pre-test coordination with RAIL test planners and stakeholders, scheduling of applicable RAIL test staff needed for testing, all pre-test coordination with the test staff, directing test through completion, including making any deviations or termination calls during testing.

Designed F/A-22 Raptor RCS Range upgrade to eliminate unwanted multiple bounce effect and to improve data quality. Defined scope of the project, explored design options, contacted microwave absorber vendors, received and tested samples in several test configurations, and coordinated stress analysis and installation efforts with selected contractor. Maintained project schedule and $375k budget. Designed, documented, coordinated fabrication of test articles, and tested articles in RCS Compact Range. Replicated damages and considered phenomenon observed on F/A-22 Raptor and assessed how these anomalies impacted the aircraft signature. Tested repairs of replicated damages and analyzed data to determine whether the repairs were acceptable for RCS.
