Expert Systems Engineer and US Air Force Academy-educated veteran. Systems Engineering (SE) subject matter expert. Drives system technical performance using multi-disciplinary SE processes throughout the system lifecycle with specialties in defining system architectures and requirements, verifies design, validates system capabilities and operational support. Analyzes mission need, operational architectures and customer constraints. Uses rapid prototyping to quickly scope system parameters. Defines system architectures to coordinate and drive development of subsystems and components. Defines and allocates system level requirements down to elements and components and maintains two-way traceability from requirements, design, verifications and operational procedures. Plans and conducts trade studies, technical design reviews and integrated system verifications. Documents and analyzes system functional performance, operational states and modes flows, data flows, functional dynamics (state changes, task flows, data flows) and operational procedures. Systems analyst able to model complex systems for analysis, design, simulation and training. Technical specialties in spacecraft orbital mechanics and attitude dynamics, closed-loop control systems and full-spectrum space mission operations. Experience with radar systems, radio communications, large scale hardware/software/database integration and autonomous systems. Trains user to maximize their effectiveness and the increase overall mission accomplishment.
