PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Lockheed Martin, Space Systems Company, Sunnyvale, CA                                                         2005 – 2010

Systems Engineer

Lead Flight Test Analyst for Propulsion, Launch, and Mechanical systems of the FBM D5 Trident Missile. Coordinated and oversaw entire flight test operation for six Flight tests as Task Force Chairman.

      Task Force Chairman

• Played a key role in the design and preparation of the test, data analysis, production of the final report, and coordination and management of all engineers involved.
• Developed and delivered customer presentations that incorporated and distilled the flight test results and analysis across all missile systems.
• Served as the client liaison to answer and address technical and analytic issues.
• Conducted anomaly investigations when required, overseeing all involved engineers, designing and implementing fault trees to determine root cause and corrective action.
• Presented findings and recommendations to management upon completion.
• Awards: Certificate of Recognition for Outstanding Performance for DASO-21 (2009)

      Flight Test Analyst

• Performed all propulsion, launch, and mechanical data analysis on both flight and static tests.
• Plotted motor characteristics and pressure curves, and monitored launch pulse energy and kinematics.
• Adapted analysis software, and performed a detailed statistical investigation to compare current and past test results.
• Wrote seven of the eighteen sections of the final test report for each flight test.
• Through incident troubleshooting, developed and implemented strategies for corrective action and identified propulsion, launch, or mechanical issues that arose during the flight test.
• Organized and updated internal pre- and post-test propulsion, launch, and mechanical procedures to streamline future data analysis and to ensure consistent and comprehensive final test reports.
• Developed new methods of efficient, effective internal communication between the Flight Test Group and other propulsion, launch, or mechanical groups within Space Systems.  Established routine weekly meetings as well as deadlines to communicate results to relevant group members and upper management.

Flight Test Engineer

Flying Qualities Flight Test Engineer serving as the principal representative for the V-22 Osprey Flying Qualities Team as part of the V-22 Integrated Test Team at the Pax River Naval Base.Supported and coordinated flight test activities through real-time data monitoring and post-test data analysis.

      Flight Test Analyst

• Created and executed detailed test plans for a variety of aircraft characteristics, including Formation Flight, Critical Azimuth Flight Evaluation, Flying Qualities Development and Demonstration, and Roll on Deck Analysis. These test plans included matrices of projected flight test points, logic models for test methods, safety analyses, and past relevant test results and analyses.
• Developed and monitored Piloted Flight Simulations to analyze particular flight characteristic maneuvers and resulting data in order to describe flight characteristics and limitations of the flight envelope.
• Updated the Flight Control System software, refining the feedback control system through computer modeling of simulation data and actual flight test data.
• Awards: Pride at Boeing Awards for outstanding achievement during High Wind MTE Testing and during multiple Sea Trials onboard USS Wasp (2003; 2004; 2005)

      Flight Test Liaison

• Drafted final project reports, which summarized and synthesized the outcomes of specific test plans.
• Presented findings to upper management at the V-22 Headquarters in Philadelphia, PA.
• Traveled extensively to support a broad range of flight tests that required widely diverse testing conditions. Locations include: Edwards Air Force Base, Reese Technology Center (Lubbock, TX), and U.S. Naval Aircraft Carriers (USS Bataan, USS Iwo Jima, USS Wasp).
