Used multiple system engineering tools including Telelogic/IBM DOORS & Teamcenter for System Engineering. Developed content for first system requirements specification for Sandia weapon system generated using DOORS. Mentored design engineers in requirements generation.Executed technical analysis for selecting weapon system requirements management tool. Selecting single requirements management tool saved Sandia $400,000 in licensing and tool management costs per year.Led teams implementing tools and methodologies for requirements development. Implemented Michael Fagan’s requirements inspection technique. Developed subsystem and component requirements in a managed requirements structure Show less

Developed Product Realization Standards and Processes for the development of weapon systems in the Department of Energy's Nuclear Weapons Enterprise.Led 5 person program team for Department of Energy standards development body. Worked with interagency body to write and implement engineering process standards for weapons development. Standards were adopted and implemented by each agency in the nuclear weapons complex for their design & production processes.

Analyzed requirements for certification and qualification of weapon system. Initiated first weapon system installation of DOORS at Sandia.

Worked with Electronic Subsystems Center to capture system requirements, system design and system architecture for a weapons program using RDD-100, a Unix based system engineering tool. Translated lessons learned to implementation of QSS/Telelogic DOORS.Developed radiation hardening design adviser software for component and system engineers
