Avionics Systems Engineering support to include troubleshooting, engineering changes, technical publication and schematics updates, changes, and revisions.

Coordinated the management of avionics systems availability, configuration, readiness, & sustainment for 430 aircraft of 14 Type/Model/Series (TMS)Analyzed fleet requests for Engineering and Technical Services and coordinated responses for several CONUS based and combat deployed squadronsRepresented Marine Corps Forces Command interests in Joint Strike Fighter Cryptographic Working Groups and H-1 and Unmanned Aerial Systems Transition Task ForcesParticipated in V-22 mission systems improvement working groups with NAVAIRSYSCOM and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), identifying shortfalls in systems performance and suggested improvements in sustainment strategiesParticipated in avionics senior enlisted slating committee, ensuring 162 senior avionics positions were properly staffed

 Coordinated and conducted semiannual electronic counter measures inventories for submission to Headquarters that encompassed over 2400 mission critical assets and ensured adequate spares were provided to support Operation Plan execution Coordinated Avionics/Metrology Calibration logistics and maintenance for 38 units throughout III Marine Expeditionary Force, increasing the calibration rate of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) to better than 90% for three consecutive quarters Directed the enlisted staffing of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing through deliberate planning efforts, ensuring 100% staffing of all senior enlisted avionics positions within 1st MAW

 Managed a squadron avionics division that was recognized by corporate level inspectors as having the best overall scoring of all Navy and Marine squadrons for 2008 Supervised the manpower and production of 6 avionics work centers, consisting of 110 personnel and 180 avionics systems supporting 7 different Type/Model/Series Evaluated professional performance and counseled 110 personnel, fostering an environment in which avionics division personnel were awarded a significant majority of total overall merit based promotion allocations  Oversaw the aggressive implementation of the AIRSpeed methodology into the avionics division, maintaining a 97% indoctrination rate, despite high personnel turnover Managed the avionics division component readiness rate of 87%, along with a significant drop in repair time (from 28 hours to 5) for critically needed components Coordinated avionics division transition from paper to electronic aviation training reporting requirements, saving over 300 man-hours per month

 Ensured proper staffing, training, and management of schoolhouse operations for 3 separate aircraft platforms (CH-46, CH-53, and V-22), ensuring properly trained personnel arrived at parent squadrons within established timelines Consulted with local building contractors and assisted in identifying and rectifying a myriad of logistical, maintenance, and training challenges during construction and subsequent occupation of a new 40,000 square foot, $10M training facility, enabling increased student throughput to meet accelerated timeline for V-22 squadron transitions Streamlined V-22 course curriculum for students transitioning from other aviation backgrounds, saving several hundred man-hours per year Coordinated fundraisers for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball, raising in excess of $11,000 and significantly lowering costs for lower ranking personnel attending event

 Supervised in excess of 40 personnel performing aircraft maintenance in strict compliance with technical publications Conducted quarterly and annual work center and program audits, ensuring compliance with mandated regulations and procedures Established an aggressive training schedule and monitored all maintenance and safety related training and schools within a squadron consisting of more than 250 enlisted aircraft maintainers, improving squadron maintenance training program marks from non-mission capable to mission-capable  Provided Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) training while assigned as EKMS custodian, ensuring all classified materials were properly inventoried and safeguarded Supervised the transition of personnel and equipment to multiple overseas contingency sites, ensuring all sites were adequately supported by sufficient numbers of trained and licensed personnel Led Avionics Division through rigorous corporate level quality assurance inspections, consistently receiving highest marks within the entire maintenance department
