Phantomworks advanced sensors group. Integrated Product Team Lead for development of an advanced proprietary sensor from pre-SRR thru subsystem I&T.
In my career, I've worked problems all the way down to development of nano materials and all the way up to system of system architectural trades.
Prior to coming to Boeing, I was Section Manager of the EW & RF Systems Architecture group at Raytheon SAS, responsible for 19 aerospace engineers and managing EW Systems program engagement in El Segundo.
Earlier in my career I helped architect, spec and design Raytheon's next generation EW Receiver/Technique Generator from the ground up as systems engineering lead for the Next Gen EW Enterprise Campaign. I have experience in both the front end and back end of the business, serving roles doing everything from being a proposal book boss, writing specs from scratch for brand new advanced systems pre-SRR, negotiating CDR criteria with the customer, dispositioning engineering failure reports (EFRs) on critical path, and hardware CTSR sell off.
In the past I have worked as requirements lead on DARPA's ISIS radar program; as a mode developer and analyst with 16 test flights under my belt; as staff to the chief engineer on a must perform major space program driving daily battle rhythm and execution, and as an M&P, Component and Specialty engineer.
