Manages the Project and System Engineering teams (Technical Leads), as well as performing the Chief Engineer role on multiple programs.

● Member of a small R&D team of engineers specializing in prototype hardware for EO/IR imaging in airborne, shipboard and land forces applications. Mainly focused on the design, assembly and operation of small batch high fidelity imaging payloads for Tier I/II Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) such as the Shadow and PUMA Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).● Served as Lead Integrator for several EO/IR payloads projects. Responsibilities ranged from managerial duties like providing labor and schedule estimation and organizing workflow to technical lead duties, which included design and assembly of payloads, testing and in-field debugging of electronics and cameras, reviewing schematics and PCB layouts, providing software and firmware inputs, plus creating and maintaining payload documentation.● Functioned as primary Field Test Operator, Director and Engineer for payload field tests. Tasks required for this role included operating payloads and test equipment on manned and unmanned flights, directing and organizing field and flight tests, providing customer demonstrations and operator training, repairing and operating immature products under go/no-go conditions, and writing operations manuals and field test procedures.● Acted as Firmware and Software Developer, designing and debugging a variety of modules and applications ranging from motor driver tuning, control systems, location based image capture, buffer and transfer of high-speed data, test operations and task automation, and interface GUI design.● Operated as Electronic Hardware Designer, performing schematic design and PCB/Flex circuit layout, as well as providing guidance through design reviews.● Performed QA and Test Engineer responsibilities such as validating payloads and image sensors, executing power-on testing and debug of new circuit card assemblies, writing up and performing regression test procedures, and running various customer acceptance tests.

● Performed threat system simulation of missile plume and hardbody signatures.● Analyzed electro-optical/infrared trajectory and clutter signatures to build sensor error models.● Designed and developed a multi-stage missile flight path profiler.● Gained experience with most “JANNAF” codes and other data generation, modeling and analysis tools including OSC, SPF-III, CHARM, VIPER, CHAMP, SPURC, SPP, TDK, SOCRATES-P and MODTRAN.
