Lead consultant for a $900 million dollar Government SATCOM terminal acquisition program, providing expertise in radio frequency requirement and performance analysisCoordinated and performed pretest and post-test analysis of the program’s Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) tracking performance, identifying significant contractor non-complianceAnalysis led to the acceptance of the unit and $1.4 million of United States Air Force (USAF) procurement funding to Booz Allen Hamilton for the unit’s development and qualification testingOversaw critical testing of the VSAT at the request of the program office on multiple occasionsIdentified mission critical issues with the original VSAT design leading to the contractor’s complete redesign of the unitLed the review of the program’s VSAT 97% link availability analysis, and provided key guidance that allowed the on-time review and Government acceptance of the final First Article Acceptance Test (FAT) report.Developed and received approval for Military Ka-band Wideband Global SATCOM link budgets for 4 test events, including analyses to identify the final test locations for the program critical Developmental and Operational Testing (DT/OT)Led the coordination of the USAF client and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Internet Protocol Modem (JIPM) Program Management Office (PMO) Developed, planned, and executed 3 tests of the JIPM system that provided the USAF client the necessary information to make key decisions regarding the acquisition of the necessary modems for the transition to JIPM and eventual operationsLed the program’s efforts to transition USAF to JIPM, scheduled to begin in 2015Educated members of the government SATCOM community of new capabilities offered by Digital Video Broadcasting via Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2)

Led a team to define, manage, and execute project requirements for the Telemetry and Command Radio Frequency Subsystem (TRS) project as a part of NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) programProduced subsystem analyses for TDRS System Critical Design Review (CDR) and managed the resulting budgetsCompleted various RF and digital communications analyses including gain-loss, link and ranging budgets through cross departmental coordination with the S-band Transponder unit area Created 150 page contractual document (CDRL) under time constraints, and released the document on schedule as part of the critical benchmark for the design review and acceptance necessary to move the project forwardApproved and released the document as part of an $87 million CDRL delivery to NASAWorked directly with NASA to develop the contractual Verification Sell-off Sheets (VSS) by analyzing test data that ensured all contractual requirements were met.Managed over 1000 requirements and managed the supplier relationship to develop and manufacture an S-band Transponder, the mission critical component of the payload responsible for satellite/ground command and communicationActed as systems engineering focal for the S-band Transponder to complete the on-time manufacturing, testing, and integration of the unit onto the TDRS payload moduleReleased unit specifications for the TDRS program while simultaneously establishing the process of using DOORS as requirements tracking and specification development tool for satellite division Instrumental in developing DOORS into an enterprise specification template tool to increase efficiency in the specification development processAs Central Power Supply (CPS) systems engineering lead, managed negotiations for the replacement of Bus Conditioner Units with the CPS to power the Multiple Access Return Low Noise AmplifiersSaved the TDRS program $3 million in production and non-recurring engineering costs

Received a research assistantship after being one of the top students out of 50 individuals enrolled in Digital Signals Processing during the first semester in graduate schoolPerformed research in the area of communications with emphasis on improved modulation techniquesDeveloped techniques for minimizing the effects of Doppler shifts on an OFDM communications system Created programs in MATLAB to improve efficiency of demodulation systems in support of the professor's grant from; Assisted the professor for the Digital Signals Processing courseTaught and tutored students to successfully complete take-home problems, 3 mid-term exams, and a finalPrepared and presented 4 lectures in Digital Signals Processing

Assisted the professor with running the Microelectronics lab after being chosen from a class of 20Assisted and supervised 20 students with their lab coursework twice a weekAssumed responsibility of the Microelectronics lab after the professor went on medical leaveTaught the lab portion of the course and developed its curriculum for the entire semester

Formulated and improved simulations for data analysis in the Patriot programConceptualized and developed software in Visual Basic to optimize data analysis to reduce analysis time by 75%Created code using Fortran to simulate the radar system for the Patriot programLearned how to code in Fortran using knowledge of other coding languages including Visual C++

SupervisorsReceived an award given by the electrical engineering department at the University of Maine in conjunction with Tundra Semiconductor. Worked in the electrical engineering industry as a freshman and a result of receiving this awardDeveloped and expanded documentation for Tundra Serial Rapid IODiagnosed and debugged simulation software using Verilog as a test engineerCoordinated with 5 engineers within the company to find and correct coding errors

Supervised CRMC (Integrated control circuit used for bomb guidance) production testing, including the calibration and maintenance of its setup Examined and worked with the CRMC production testing software using HPVEEOrganized the purchase and repair of equipment and parts for the CRMC production setupDesigned a reserve test board used as a calibration aidUsed the test board to evaluate the CRMC production testing to diagnose problems and increase production yield by 25%
