Senior Systems Engineer

With a Masters degree in Systems Engineering, an MBA and BS degree in Industrial Engineering and over 25 years of professional experience, I am looking for my next, challenging engineering project assignment. My experience is about equally divided between aerospace and nuclear energy industries. I have a progressive performance history, of individual contributions and supervision, as well as progressive project team and project scope size, leading to the success of key projects at Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon Aircraft, Curtiss-Wright, Bechtel and Department of Energy, working as Principal Systems Engineer, Value Engineer and Lean Six-Sigma and Project Management consultant.   I contributed to proposals, cost reduction and value engineering, product development, requirements engineering, project management, development and modifications for aircraft and missiles, nuclear facility maintenance and operations. An example of profit and savings I have generated are from implementing  a Value Engineering Program resulting in $6.4M cost savings at Raytheon Aircraft, Montek division in first year of implementation and the win of a $300M 5-year long term business agreement for production of primary and secondary flight control systems on the Boeing 700 Series aircraft.  Over the course of my career my lean-six sigma and value engineering efforts resulted in an estimated savings of $64.5M. I was also the division’s Design To Cost (DTC) program manager assigned to develop and manages the division’s DTC program.  I have also worked as a principal systems engineer on various aerospace development programs such as Boeing’s 787 airplane development program and development of the Integrated Mission Management Computer (IMMC) for Northrop-Grumman’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance UAV. I served as Lead or Principal Systems Engineer" for requirements management teams on various product development programs in both the Aerospace and Nuclear Industries which require rigorous requirements identification and flow down and verification and validation.  I am familiar with FAA Certification requirements including DO-178B and DO-254 processes and procedures.  I am also trained and skilled in various systems engineering requirements tools including DOORs and SLATE that are used to facilitate requirements engineering and management.
