Technical contribution, leadership, and oversight of RF signals and cybersecurity programs.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Set strategic goals for operational efficiency and led improvement initiatives to increase productivity for an over $500M business area. Emphasis areas included engineering, program management, IT, manufacturing, supply chain, and security.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Lead a 100+ development organization (systems, software, hardware, programmable logic, test) for a $350 million a year business that provides global, high speed satellite broadband service to government VIP and ISR aircraft.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Grew an engineering development organization from 40 to 90+ engineers across 3 sites to accommodate increased software demand, while simultaneously improving staff retention and engagement by creating a culture of efficiency, performance, and quality.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Took the initiative to re-organize a team of 40+ software and system integration/test engineers into an award-winning matrix organization in order to best execute 8-12 simultaneous software development projects for a SATCOM system. Turned around a troubled $40 million program for design and deployment of an integrated, web-based network management system for multiple UHF SATCOM sites across Australia. Drove two critical subcontract modifications.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Advised the Director of the UHF tactical satellite business area on technical and strategic topics. Improved stagnant business prospects by refreshing product roadmaps, pricing, and competitive analysis.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Coordinated design capture and manufacturing of 30 Ka-band satellite gateways, each consisting of three to four 19-inch racks worth of equipment that enabled residential Internet for up to 200,000 terminals (users).

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Co-managed $120 million sub-contract to develop the central encryption module of a rugged, airborne software defined radio as part of Boeing’s $1.5 billion prime contract with U.S. Air Force. Turned around the program’s performance and subsequently met all milestones, earned all possible award fee, and improved Boeing’s supplier rating of Viasat from red to bronze.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Provided technical leadership to cross-functional team of 25 engineers through design, integration, and flight qualification of 11 printed circuit boards (25 spins), 10 FPGAs, 2 conduction-cooled enclosures, and test software.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Hand-picked to serve as primary technical interface to government’s evaluation team due to strong understanding of overall technical system and ability to defend Viasat’s interests.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

Designed hardware architecture for an inline encryptor with six processors and 10 FPGAs across a five-board stack.

Us

Architected and designed the 320MB/s data path for a low latency (18us), enterprise class, solid state drive with redundant 1Gbps optical Fiber Channel interfaces. Technical lead for 5 boards and 2 FPGAs.

Designed/enhanced several FPGAs in VHDL and a 6U CompactPCI circuit board that included processors, FPGAs, and CPLDs for a second-generation ATM switch (SONET/SDH).
