01/14-Present Harris/Exelis Corporation Eglin AFB Site C-6
Radar Test Engineer AN/FPS-85 Radar
• Test Engineer supporting the command and control (C2), and employment of the AN/FPS-85 phased array radar located at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), FL which is operated and maintained by the 20th Space Control Squadron (20 SPCS).
• Test Engineer for the Maintenance Test Station (MTS) which will replace/upgrade obsolete components which are reaching end-of-life (EOL) and are no longer supportable. The MTS is necessary for maintaining the Eglin radar transmitters.
• Test Engineer for the Transmitter Calibration Monitor Unit (TCMU) which will replace/upgrade obsolete components which are reaching end-of-life (EOL) and are no longer supportable. Transmitter Calibration Monitor Unit equipment is used to provide a means of systematically checking and monitoring the ANFPS-85 Radar Transmitter Modules.
• Test Engineer for the Time Shared Option (TSO) which will upgrade storage capacity, data redundancy and peer-to-peer connectivity for the AN/FPS-85 Radar System
• Created and executed test plans and procedures including Master Test Plan (MTP), System Test Plans (STP), System Test Reports (STR), and Acceptance Test Procedures.
7/04 – 6/13 Northrop Grumman Corporation Melbourne, FL
System Integration and Test Engineer (Interoperability Communications)
• Test Lead for the Joint STARS System Test Support (STS) improvements at Robins AFB which consisted of (3) separate training laboratories, one for Flight Mission Operations, one for Maintenance Training of PME and one for Software Development.
• Specified test article configurations and requirements to coordinate the integration of test modifications with systems engineering and manufacturing organizations which required test plans, procedures, and reports designed to assist production operations to quickly move products through the manufacturing process.
• Created and executed test plans and procedures including Master Test Plan (MTP), System Test Plans (STP), System Level Performance Verification (SLPV), Acceptance Test Plan, Interoperability Test, and Test Traceability Matrix (TTM) for large systems and subsystems.
• Analyzed test data and prepared technical reports for use by engineering and management personnel in requirements allocation, design, architecture, integration, and test of a completed aircraft systems.
• Created and organized support documentation used in the daily maintenance and repair activities of Prime Mission Equipment (PME) including systems integration, verification and validation for satellite communication system upgrades.
• Successfully organized numerous capacity expansions, cost reduction activities and quality improvement projects over operational, functional and performance phases of tests including system analysis, design, development, test and integration.
• Interfaced with flight test operations, engineering, aircraft maintenance disciplines and analysis functions to develop tests and test data requirements including post-test data evaluation and problem identification and resolution. Prepared and publish test summaries and test reports.
• Performed analyses, develop system integration, and design testing at the subsystem and system level in multiple disciplines including communications, radar, and navigation and flight avionics.
• Performed engineering functions during operational flights and ground maintenance on the communications system in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Joint Endeavor, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
• Provided engineering recommendations and workarounds during operational flights for Operation Iraq...
