• Executed nineteen missions for the F-35, including six as the Lead EW Engineer, validating test setups, initiating start run calls, and monitoring EW system health. Additional missions involved leading Emitter Scripts, coordinating emitter activations and deactivations with the test range, and ensuring emitter health and track quality. Leveraged past experience to aid in collecting essential data points, driving EW regression, emitter identification, and EA persistence analysis.• Authored… Show more • Executed nineteen missions for the F-35, including six as the Lead EW Engineer, validating test setups, initiating start run calls, and monitoring EW system health. Additional missions involved leading Emitter Scripts, coordinating emitter activations and deactivations with the test range, and ensuring emitter health and track quality. Leveraged past experience to aid in collecting essential data points, driving EW regression, emitter identification, and EA persistence analysis.• Authored two adaptable general test plans, streamlining testing by reducing planning time and enhancing data analysis capabilities. One plan focused on safe separation of mass model testing, while the other addressed captive carriage and safe separation testing of inert and active payloads.• Demonstrated strong communication skills by actively engaging with the F-35 EW team during mission execution, resolving issues promptly, and minimizing the need for re-flights.• Conducted extensive data analysis for fifteen tails across nineteen missions, utilizing software such as MATLAB, and python. The analysis involved site matching, issue resolution, and calculations for response time, Electronic Attack persistence, and emitter identification.• Successfully completed EW Flight testing for the Singapore upgrade program, a pivotal accomplishment that led to the delivery of a completion letter. Provided vital support in creating data analysis tools for the Singapore Upgrade Program.• Authored critical documents for the Dutch Digital Receiver Exciter pod program, including the Test Plan, Emitter Scripting, Test Run setup, and Test Point Matrix. Effort also involved resolving issues with incomplete mission data products during data analysis process and played a key role in authoring the Test Data Package.• Presented at the 412th Test Wing Technical Symposium on "Utilizing a Mobile Emitter (MOB-E) for F-16 Singapore EW Testing," sharing valuable insights and expertise with peers and colleagues.
