ACOUSTIC VIBRATION LABORATORY Manage lab personnel, facility, equipment, capital improvements, and overhead/service center budget for spacecraft component level acoustic, shock, and vibration testing.  Prioritize and oversee planning, preparation, and execution of component level testing. Oversee and define lab operations, hardware handling practices, and safety protocol. Communicate lab activities, challenges, and accomplishments to senior management.  Train and develop Certified Test Conductors to understand and execute the test engineering process. Manage major capital and overhead facility and equipment projects.Notable Accomplishments:-Improved AVL lab test production and capacity by over 30%. Increased staffing, modernized control stations, improved data acquisition equipment, procured appropriate tools, modified work schedules, and optimized utilization of existing assets through scheduling. -Drove significant cross training and knowledge transfer to position the workforce for the future. Successfully built a new base of knowledge and talent for an organization that experienced significant attrition. Focused on cross training between areas and critical skills to build bench strength, add flexibility, and reduce cost associated with down-time. -Executed major facility and equipment improvement projects. $2.6M replacement and upgrade of laboratory electrodynamic shaker systems. Demolition and reconstruction of two new shaker facilities. Acquisition and implementation of new data acquisition systems and dynamic test software. -Led the response to major natural disaster with respect to relocation of testing. Organized a new test operation in less than two months after a fire destroyed a California test facility, allowing for all testing to be seamlessly relocated.

ENGINEERING PROPULSION LABORATORY Designed, analyzed, and drafted mechanical, fluid, thermal, dynamic, vibration, and pressure systems for spacecraft and propulsion test, development, and qualification. Led cross-functional teams of engineers and technicians to produce test setups. Managed projects, developed test schedules, and created budget/cost estimates. Allocated personnel and directed technician support to meet test requirements.  Provided manufacturing oversight, assembly supervision, and test troubleshooting support. Interfaced with vendors and supported procurement of parts and materials. Developed requirements for test by providing technical guidance to internal customers. Led periodic design reviews (PDR, CDR) and collaborated with customers to deliver results. Interfaced design solutions directly with spacecraft/subsystem flight hardware.Notable Projects – Test Manager and Lead Engineer:-Orion STA Forward Bay Cover Jettison Test.
