Experience
September 2012 – March 2015 | Senior Consultant
Booz Allen Hamilton | Troy, MI 48084
Managing requirements using DOORS on the Combat Vehicle Prototype program for the U.S. Army. Interfacing with the System Architecture team to decompose requirements and allocate to sub-systems. Managing requirement change process.
Managed performance specification requirements in DOORS for the release of a Request For Proposal (RFP) the U.S. Army’s Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Program Office.
Performing trade studies for U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems (PEO GCS). Gathering and synthesizing technology attribute data from subject matter experts and defining metrics for functional objectives to be traded in the evaluation of families of ground combat vehicles. Current Secret clearance. Modeling the trade study process using SysML in the MagicDraw tool documenting the requirements, technical options, process, and functional objectives.
December 2011 – June 2012 | Senior Systems Engineer
MTI Systems | Greenbelt, MD 20771
General systems engineering at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center supporting the Space Network Ground Segment Sustainability project. Supported the oversight of the prime contractor’s integration and test process to ensure the system met the requirements put forth by NASA GSFC. Reviewed test plans and procedures, provided comments. Reviewed risks and attended weekly risk management meetings.
October 2000 – April 2011 | Senior Aerospace Engineer
Qinetiq North America | 21000 Brookpark Rd., Cleveland, OH 44135
NASA Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Initiative:
Evaluated MBSE concepts and tools for integration into NASA’s system engineering processes. Began modeling a solar electric spacecraft in Enterprise Architect using SysML as a pilot project to demonstrate MBSE to NASA.
Constellation Program:
Developed, validated and evaluated documentation of Orion Spacecraft requirements and interface requirements in support of the Orion Vehicle Integration Office. Interfaced with the prime contractor for the project in the development of their requirements for the spacecraft. Completed status reviews of subsystem requirements specification documents as part of the Orion System Definition Review (SDR). Re-wrote requirements to reflect the Zero-Based Vehicle (ZBV) configuration of the Orion Spacecraft for the Orion Vehicle Engineering Integration Working Group (OVEIWG). Gathered information to close and status open issues in the Constellation Program requirements documents. Supported the Altair Project team developing the Systems Requirement Document for the next generation lunar lander using Cradle. Developed operational space flight mission timelines for lunar sortie missions using the Operations Concept Document as reference. Involved in developing the Orion-Altair Interface Requirements Document and reporting status of requirements to project management. This also involved writing and tracking flow of requirements not only between the two vehicles but up to the program level and down to the sub-systems. Co-chaired the Orion-Altair Interface Working Group meetings responsible for the development and evaluation of interface requirements between the Orion and Altair projects. Wrote and managed Orion-Altair interface risks.
Boeing 747-8:
Managed requirements of the 747-8 aircraft requirements document using the DOORS requirements database tool to determine and evaluate program requirements in support of Boeing Commer...
