Manager of Design Engineering launch support area where Launch Commit Criteria and vehicle health measurements were monitored utilizing in house software which was designed and coded in C++ to support vehicle launch activities. Activities resulted in many opportunities to troubleshoot and correct problems. Manager of Flight Avionics group which was responsible for the integration and troubleshooting of the vehicle Range Safety avionics, EEE parts, Cable Design, Flight avionics and ground test equipment. Results of these activities depended on close cooperation with Manufacturing Operations and scheduling to have replacements ready as soon as possible after failure was identified. Co-Chairman of multi-disciplinary Engineering team responsible for the disassembly and assessment of vehicle after flight. This hazardous activity resulted in learning opportunities determining corrective actions for issues detected during vehicle assessments while maintaining a safe work environment. Results included generation of an Engineering assessment report detailing all areas of concern and corrective actions being taken along with presentation of the findings to the Chief Engineers to show progress and identify areas where an anomaly resolution teams would need to be formed.

Designed and maintained software and hardware used to test flight avionics systems. This activity included implementation of requirements for processing engineering change packages, supporting critical design reviews and presentation of packages to change boards. Results of included coding, debugging and troubleshooting of software and associated hardware. Coordinated testing of avionics hardware to maintain schedule and achieve transfer and assembly milestones to achieve customer satisfaction. This activity involved close cooperation with support personnel to resolve anomalies
