CollapseDescription

I believe that if a company develops a well integrated set of engineering processes that incorporate engineering best practices, these processes will support audits for ISO or CMMI. Throughout my career with Boeing�s Space Exploration Division, I have designed, developed and deployed integrated engineering processes for high profile, safety critical systems including the Space Shuttle and International Space Station.
