Systems Engineer for aircraft control systems.Switching gears in my career from spacecraft to aircraft allowed me to become familiar with the aircraft side of the aerospace industry. Esterline-Mason (now Mason Controls) builds the parts of an aircraft that the pilot directly interface with to fly, for instance the control wheel/column which the pilot uses to control the roll and pitch of a plane.• Cognizant Engineer for multiple aircraft and helicopter controllers, including active control systems (e.g. autopilot).• Reviewed and validated customer requirements for both flight hardware and software, developed qualification and acceptance test procedures for requirements verification, provided technical justification for design changes, and tracked requirements using DOORS.• Worked directly with the test engineers and technicians to perform test procedures both on and off site.• Developed software tools to facilitate testing in real-time and post-processing tools to distill test data into simple pass or fail status.• Assisted in Problem/Failure Reports and Analysis throughout the lifecycle from investigation, root cause, corrective action, to validation and closure.• Designed and developed process improvements to help to optimize company products.

System Engineer for support with Propulsion Subsystem engineering.Propulsion engineering at Boeing's Satellite Development Center is cutting edge and requires an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to assist with analysis, design, development and verification of a life cycle balanced system of systems and system solutions in satellite production. I assisted with analyses to evaluate customer/operational needs to define system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. In doing so, I utilized various analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. In addition, I assisted with analyses for affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration in order to ensure mission success.• Responsible Engineer Authority (REA) for the Dual Flow Orifice Assembly (DFOA), the component that meters the correct amount of Xenon to the Electric Propulsion subsystem’s Xenon Ion Thrusters.• Lead programmer for Propulsion Flow Modeling (PFM) program, a proprietary in-house developed object-oriented software used for the prediction and reconstruction satellite propulsion events.• Lead architect of the Propulsion Data Management Suite, a host of software tools designed to help automate processing the information required to manufacture and operate the propulsion subsystems of a satellite.• Propulsion Engineer on four geostationary orbit-raising missions.• Propulsion liaison for the Boeing Customer Support Operations Center (COSC).

Testbed Analyst on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover project.MSL launched November 2011 and successfully landed on Mars on August 5th 2012! I was part of a small team responsible for the entire oversight of the rover prototype testbeds. Such a position requires one to have a knowledge of not only the entire rover, but also each individual testbed’s deviation in fidelity, along with the ground support and simulation equipment necessary to fully test all the spacecraft’s capabilities while still here on Earth.Testbed Support and Maintenance• Produced and executed hardware integration procedures.• Generated testbed support scripts for both ground simulation and flight software.• Developed a comprehensive, object-oriented ‘Copper Path Test’ program to verify the connectivity status of devices on all testbeds.• Installed/removed/relocated hardware (spacecraft and ground support) and troubleshooting apparatus.• Installed/removed protection devices including electrical safety plugs, hardware covers for mechanical devices and instruments, and laser protection barriers.• Performed general testbed support such as debugging problems and helping other users navigate the testbeds.• Led daily testbed tag-up meetings.System Cross-Cutting Verification and Validation• Responsibile for Critical Relay Controlled Hardware Commands, Uplink and Flight Software Commands, and Data Management and Downlink Transmission.• Produced and executed detailed test procedures • Developed tools for querying and post-analysis of test data; generated, retested, and closed out Problem/Failure Reports (PFRs); consulted in the development of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs); and supported reviews.• Assisted in the creation and development of a Cross-Cutting Automated Scripting Process (CASP) for regression testing of new flight software releases.

Walnut, Ca, Us

• Tutored students in math and science.• Developed curriculum for and instructed a supplemental physics class (optional for students).• Performed necessary clerical work such as making appointments and logging students in/out of the system.

• Performed opening and closing procedures, bank deposits, and trained new employees. Completed transactions, rearranged product according to monthly floor plans, received product from shipping, counted inventory, and cleaned store.• Helped customers in a friendly, courteous manner with a wide variety of heath related issues.

• Taught children K-5th grade about science in a fun and interactive environment by performing experiments, such as launching model rockets, while explaining the natural phenomena responsible using easy to understand, non-technical terms.• Helped at the office with setting up experiments, such as building extra rockets, and privately tutored the owner’s son.

Dallas, Tx, Us

• Operated medium current ion implanters and supporting equipment (plasma ashers, acid baths, etc…) utilized in the manufacturing of integrated circuits.• Member of the Emergency Response Team; HAZ-MAT certified as a responder (per OSHA 1910.120).
