• Working with the government customer and multiple MDA Elements, led the development of an executable MDA ground test strategic scheduleo Created several versions of potential schedules based on multiple constraints including multiple software availability dates, planned technical capability declarations, and Phased Adaptive Approach (PAA) requirements; all of which were kept under configuration controlo Created and maintained a change log for each course of action considered during the IMTP development processo Reviewed the MDA Master Integration Plan (MIP) to ensure all potential schedules were synchronized with the MIP• Implemented a new ground test Concept of Operations (CONOPS) into the strategic plan for Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) 13.1 – this was a complete redesign of the nominal timelines, nomenclature, and execution of ground test eventso Required coordination with multiple groups within MDA to ensure accuracy and concurrence of the implementation of the new CONOPS• De-conflicted the ground test strategic plan with other test events needing to use Hardware In the Loop (HWIL) assets• Working on the pilot team of MDA Project Servero Requires an understanding of how multiple schedules across several MDA Elements correlate and depend on one another

• Worked with the government customer and contractor leads, led the development of a Test Design Analysis Briefing (TDAB) and configuration management process for the flight test design analysis team• Developed the first TDAB using the first system-level operational flight test (FTO-01) as a template – this mission is the most complex that the agency has undertaken and, as a result, includes the most complicated and detailed analysis performed by the test design analysis teamo Required integration of trajectory, flight safety (Flight Termination System and Intercept Debris), sensor viewing metrics and operational comparison products from various analysts from a variety of companies into a single package – highlighting ability to work efficiently and effectively within a complex team environment• Implemented the configuration management process to ensure test community has common access to latest test design analysis products through a configuration-controlled Sharepoint Site• Directly responsible for collecting and reporting on, weekly inputs of key task performed by the Flight Test Design group
