 Led core team and large cross functional team of Electronics Engineers, RTE, SPM,PM, IPT and RDE to provide innovative (common) universal automated test software and hardware solutions for RF Space and Airborne product lines (designs using ASIC/FPGA) - Arches, TRITON (Unmanned Systems) Developed and deployed SW Architecture and EEC test development strategy that uses continuous Improvement methods. It is being used for Arches and TRITON projects currently. Cost Savings of $200K/Test set is anticipated for TRITON by Reuse program lead due to reusable architecture developed by me and my team. Worked closely with system engineering to acquire, verify and validate various system requirements through test data capturing and trend analysis tools. Captured data is presented during various phases of IDR and CDR to validate requirements.  Provided integral support in capturing and analyzing DC, RF and digital data for trailblazer units of TRITON (MCM, TTSA) and ARCHES (DNC- Down converter). Performed root cause analysis for Oscillation issue and power droop with help of test software and test data. TRITON completed data collection and initial testing with good program management feedback to present in IDR phase 3 and CDR. Provided Antenna Range testing support for TTSA. Arches completed customer delivery with reduced test cycle time by 40 % and with positive feedback from customer, users and program management.  Played key role in developing cost models for test sets. Provided assistance in creating proposals for capturing new business. Providing technical guidance and oversight in developing technical and cost proposals (Cost models) for upcoming (Space Systems) projects In addition to leading core team, mentored and coached team (4) of summer interns Worked closely with management to expand staffing to share current work load with fast expansion and meet our vision of cross trained engineering team.
