Picked the best location for the flight test to exercise specific software functionality.-Created MATLAB and Excel tools to quickly analyze information collected from Patriot Fire Platoons during test. The tools created the graphs and tables needed to debrief the customer within hours of the flight test.-Wrote surveillance requirements and software instruction documents.Systems Engineer, System Simulation and Analysis 1996 - 1999-Created a simulation of the track management and communications functions of a Patriot Battalion Command unit. The simulation was used in a hardware in the loop facility to communicate with a real Patriot Fire Platoon.-Merged three high fidelity simulations into one multifunction Patriot simulation including target, radar, surveillance, launcher, communications, weapons control and battalion track management models. Modified the simulations to be HLA (High Level Architecture) compliant. Show less

Mechanical Engineer, Design 1993 - 1995-Designed a fuel metering unit for use on a PW3000 series engine.-Designed an inlet guide vane actuator for the Rolls Royce Pegasus engine which is used on the Harrier jet. This was a challenging engineering problem due to the rapid engine deceleration required for vertical landing. Received a patent for work on this project.-Contributed to the design of a helicopter propeller control for… Show more Mechanical Engineer, Design 1993 - 1995-Designed a fuel metering unit for use on a PW3000 series engine.-Designed an inlet guide vane actuator for the Rolls Royce Pegasus engine which is used on the Harrier jet.
