I joined Raytheon in March 2012 and am currently working on the GPS OCX system. I am a Test Engineering testing the software for the GPS System Simulator (GSYS). I develop and transmit SV payload commands/upload and verified telemetry response in a simulated environment In August 2013, I was commissioned in the United States Navy Reserves as an Aerospace Engineering Duty Officer (AEDO). As an AEDO I work for the NAVAIR Reserve Program In Service Engineering & Logistics Program, (ISEL) DET B (NAVAIR 4.1.8) - Support the Joint Combat Assessment Team (JCAT), a Joint Aircraft Survivability (JAS) sponsored program made up of dedicated professionals from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, by collecting, analyzing, and preserving aircraft battle damage data. As a battle damage assessor, the data gathered is vital in providing the war fighter's with direct feedback on the types of threats being encountered, so tactics, techniques, and procedures can be adjusted as appropriate. The data also helps aircraft engineers to identify areas for vulnerability reduction, sustainability and, in turn, design more survivable aircraft for future conflicts. I obtained my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2011 and my B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2009.
