Leadership

• Served as systems lead for the Electronic Flight Controls team on Future Vertical Lift program, working directly with the Chief Engineer, Program Manager and other leaders within the program.
• Briefed technical data to 60+ engineers, including Lockheed Martin Fellows and Model Development Safety Committee, prior to a high visibility mission flight.
• Coordinated efforts with Sikorsky Aircraft pilots, Army pilots, flight test team and joint venture counterparts in preparation of flight test events.
• Lead FMEA efforts in the Blackhawk platform is special request submitted by the Army customer.
• Served as test lead on Blackhawk platform and Future Vertical Lift programs performing activities such as estimation, road-mapping and level of effort in teams of 5 to 10 engineers, specifically using MS Project.
• Implemented testing strategy which reduced waste in setup time which reduced testing effort time by 30%.
• Spearheaded the integration of JIRA tools, standard work and agile methodologies to processes which improved workflow and team collaboration in a hybrid environment.
• Trained and mentored junior engineers, teaching skills in software design, software test and team processes with a goal of improving overall team performance and team engagement.

Software Design

• Designed and integrated helicopter autopilot modes using MATLAB and Simulink as the main development environment.
• Developed and tuned closed-loop control systems for altitude, airspeed, and navigation control in helicopters using a variety of techniques, including PID control, Kalman filtering, and model-based control.
• Performed requirement decomposition following a V-Diagram structure from system level requirements to low-level requirements.
• Troubleshot software application at a system and code level.
• Developed, validated and briefed multiple flight test scripts that would allow for flight test envelope expansion.

Software Testing

• Ensured software design met requirements regarding technical quality and reliability.
• Worked with Agile methodologies to support software testing in a fast paced development Future Vertical Lift program.
• Developed testing strategies that were aligned with DO-178B industry standards .
