System Engineer
Current• Own the Infrared Mission Payload (IRMPL) requirements specification as its primary point-of-contact and ensure requirements are up to date by bringing changes to engineering review boards.• Interface with the external IRMPL supplier to ensure verification products are being provided in accordance with the plan to support upcoming milestones.• Coordinate with subject matter experts to review and approve incoming verification products to sell-off requirements in the IRMPL specification.• Supported Preliminary/Critical Design Review milestones by working with the Line-of-Sight (LOS) Thread Lead to mature requirements, designs, architectures, models, and technical documents related to the LOS requirements defined in various specifications.• Conducted trade studies to identify the optimal solution to resolve LOS requirement non-compliances with minimal design impacts to other stakeholders.• Authored a Mathematical Algorithm Requirements Specification (MARS) to document a mission off-nadir pointing profile generation algorithm by coordinating with the Modeling/Simulation team to develop MATLAB code and identify the inputs, outputs, functional flow diagrams, constraints, and a validation plan.• Developed burn-down plans, pie charts, etc. to track various Mission Payload (MPL) Requirements and Verification (R&V) and performance metrics.• Owned the MPL Specification which involved processing Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) to mature the Spec and rolling it into a new revision to support a major review.• Facilitated the integration of the MPL supplier into the NGP program through scrubbing of competition sensitive data within various tools/databases.• Reviewed incoming data from MPL suppliers to ensure proper compliance to our requirements in support of major design reviews.• Coordinated with suppliers externally to adjudicate any disconnects.• Tracked supplier-specific design capabilities with respect to MPL Technical Performance Measures (TPMs) thresholds.
