Dir. New Business/Programs: Kaiser Electronics and Aerospace, Manager Systems Engineering I was responsible for directing and developing plans for reviewing project Systems Engineering requirements, studies, and tasks in preparation for managing in-house programs and/or generating RFPs. The RFPs and projects were in support of Ground Station Satellite and Launch Operations proposals which were in the $15-50$M. The Software Tool Suite provided clients with Command and Control access tools for monitoring, display, analysis, and control of their Information Technology environment. These tools provided the capability for interfacing hardware and software functions with new or legacy systems, throughout all program Life Cycle phases, Requirements Analysis, Design/Development, Integration Test, and Operations Implementation. My mission was to work with a team of engineers and existing/potential customers to determine each project's systems engineering technical requirements. I then provided a solution with a proposed architecture consisting of the customer's legacy system and our products and services I was responsible for directing and developing plans for building cockpit displays and ATE Test Equipment Systems, for frontline US Fighter Aircraft and Helicopters. I supported classified aircraft project/program, systems engineering requirements, studies, and tasks for a department of 30 systems engineers. JAN 1990 - MAR 1999: Lockheed Martin CO: Satellite Operations, Group Engineer, Mission Manager Lead, Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) : KinetX Inc., Business OPS Development Director I was responsible for directing and developing plans for reviewing systems engineering projects, studies, and tasks in preparation for generating RFPs in support of various Ground Station Satellite /Launch Operations Proposals. My mission was to work with a team of engineers and/or existing/potential customers to determine a core set of ground station operations products and their associated capabilities for design and development of a Next Generation Ground Station and launch supported operations product suite. As a result of my efforts, contracts were awarded from Korea, Indonesia, and Japan for our ground station products and services. I was responsible for directing and developing plans for reviewing systems engineering projects, studies, and tasks in supported of Satellite Control Center Operations for LMMS. I led a team of 35 engineers that supported and reviewed Satellite OPS and Launch OPS system requirements, supported system engineering, prototype design, and system architecture concepts for ground-station operations. I supported pre-launch, launch, and readiness involving Control Center OPS and Flight OPS activities by reviewing procedures and test plans. I generated the Basis of Estimate (BOE) rationale used to validate the software system design approach with respect to size, schedule, risk, and cost. Developed the Program Hardware Software List (PHS3), which defined the system components, acquisition schedule, quantities, and cost. There were thirty-five people in four organizations that reported to me, System Engineering, Software Development Engineering, Hardware Engineering, and Facilities. These groups form the team used for providing project engineering design, development, testing, resource allocation, scheduling, Generated and reviewed technical and cost proposal documents, prepared test plans and procedures during the SBIRS Pre EMD and EMD phase. As Mission Manager System (MM) lead, was also responsible for the prototype team, which developed a complete system design, architecture, and demonstration model of a proposed Mission Manager System in 8 months with a $5M budget. The MM prototype was interfaced and integrated with the simulated SBIRS system. The End-to-End demonstration validated the MM system design approach. The program was won by LMMS in SEP 1996 and my efforts as Group Lead for Mission Manager Element was a significant contribution.
