Taylor Oesterle

• Managed Systems Engineering processes, procedures, and best practices in indirect support of 100+ Systems Engineers
• Directly managed team of six Systems Engineers in development and implementation of Model Based Systems Engineering tools, techniques, and methodologies
• Provided technical leadership for company to effectively steer strategic plans and future projects
• Expanded inter-organizational capacity by collaborating across departments on priorities, functions and common goals

Assembled multi-disciplinary agile team in study/proposal phase of project and built product backlog for program execution phase:

• Contributed to proposal technical volume and delivery resulting in capture of $200M GPS 3F Contract
• Conducted technical analysis of GPS System Simulator upgrades to support expanded simulation of GPS satellite (IIIF)
• Evaluated employees' strengths and assigned tasks based upon experience and training
• Researched, tested, and troubleshot MBSE tools during study phase; provided training to fellow engineers

Led engineering teams to propose and develop solutions for international customers in regulated environments using MBSE:

• Supported business development team - wrote 5 proposals - developed WBS, conducted trade studies, managed technical risk, and estimated Systems Engineering tasks
• Updated upwards of 20 systems engineering processes, templates, and best practices.

Worked with customer stakeholder representatives to define a System of Systems solution from concept development to CDR:

• Decomposed SRD with 300+ requirements and coordinated interface development among stakeholders
• Conducted trade studies in support of architecture development and down-selection support by market research to select ruggedized high-performance hardware and virtualization solution with unique security requirements
• Researched software, radio, and networking products to build architecture concepts

Supported NASA and NOAA customers from PDR through Verification on a multi-billion-dollar System of Systems ground control and data processing solution for the JPSS satellite:

• Individually responsible for verification of 240 interface requirements, identified 180 organic system artifacts to document proper installation and configuration of network devices, leading to cost and schedule savings
• Responsible for technical review of engineering change requests for Communication, Command and Control Segment (3000+ requirements), coordinating change with customer counterparts and internal architecture and interfaces teams
• Volunteered for and completed training to serve as Stop Gap Satellite Controller S-NPP satellite.

Accelerated Improved Interceptor Initiative (AI3)

• Individually responsible for integration and test of three instrumented test vehicles and analysis of vehicle telemetry
• Provided critical analysis of test failure data, leading to "quick turn" release of missile software to reduce risk for test vehicle launch on following day
• Extreme Environment Measurement Device – designed, coded, and tested MATLAB toolkit to assist in data reduction and analysis for hardened missile test data recorder, reducing data analysis timeline by 75%

Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM)

• Designed, planned, and executed Hot Battery Tests for five flight rounds to verify missile timeline prior to flight test
• Integrated five JAGM seeker assemblies and executed live ordnance tests, meeting all program requirements
• Integrated tri-mode seeker flight test rack into Huey UH-1 test aircraft and flew 100+ hours of Captive Flight Test operations at multiple test ranges (Redstone Arsenal, White Sands, Yuma)
