  • Directed the efforts of six other engineers in scenario testing

    • RMS (Requirement Management System) Operational Software including backward compatibility testing.
  • Traveled around the world in support of RMS IOC at customer sites.
  • Developed and debugged 20 RMS SQL, SAS and C code queries.
  • Developed integrated and executed test plans, procedures and test scripts for the JF (Feasibility, Weather, Competition and Trace) CSCI. This was for the PIT (Product Integration and Test) Stage 1, PIT 2, SLT (System Level Test) and Integrated Stress Test (IST). 
  • Performed requirements analysis, test plan development, C-Shell scripts, C code development and procedures development on SUN and IBM.
  • Also learned key aspects of JA, JG, JN, JU, JR, JV, JI, JS, JT, JH and JP software. Used SYBASE and DB2 database SQL to prepare test data in conjunction with ICDs and the JI CSCI.
  • Wrote C code for the JFMW (Weather) CSC and two SQL PROCS.
  • Demonstration Director - Lead engineer performing large scale system integration for program 605 at DMA and USGS Reston Center. Closely coordinated 7 segment contractors and the customers on a wide variety of system interface issues ranging from problem definition to workoff planning. Directed inter-segment testing in accordance with ICDs (Interface Control Documents) and the Demo Checklist.
  • Created a requirements verification database used to track all

    • DMA demo requirements using INGRES and trained other 605 personnel on using the system.
1987-90 ISC Defense Systems, Lancaster, PA 
Senior Design Engineer
Lead Test Engineer designing, building and testing automatic test hardware and software.
  • Project Engineer for the GATOR Aerial Dispensed Mine System. Responsible for the design of an IBM-PC based automatic test system that saved $400,000 in production labor costs. Two systems were built.
  • Group leader for a large-scale SUN-UNIX Automatic Test Equipment project.  Coordinated the technical efforts of five test development engineers.  Developed and integrated hardware and software for three test sets for boards from a missile subsystem.  The boards contained PALS, GALS, DACS, Dual-Port-RAMs, 8086 and 8051 Microprocessors.  They also contained Multibus and Digibus interfaces.
  • System Manager for a $1.2 Million GenRad 2751 Automatic Test System.  Performed a Trade Study and provided justification to purchase the system.  Responsible for acquisition, set-up and maintenance.  Developed system backup and communication software, utilization schedules and demonstration procedures.  Identified numerous problems and developed workoff plans with the vendor to minimize impact to a tight schedule.
1979-87 AAI CORPORATION, Baltimore, MD
Design Engineer
Position: Project Engineer for a team of 20 engineers and technicians
  • Developed 20 Test Program Sets (TPS). Each TPS consisted of software and interface hardware running on military ATE (Automatic Test Equipment).
  • Project Engineer - Supervised the design of Interface Devices for the Harris Hybrid Test System.  These were used to test avionics from the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier 11 aircraft on a large-scale automatic test equipment.
  • Group Leader - Interviewed and trained a team of new-grad engineers and successfully completed a test set contract for the M1 and M60 tanks and the P3-C aircraft on schedule and on budget despite operating system instability. Analyzed and generated Test Requirement Documents, performed PDR and CDR reviews and held customer demonstrations.
