SUMMARY
Electrical and Computer Engineer with expertise in modeling, simulation, coding, electrical design, and
technical documentation. Proven record in Defense and automotive industries solving complex problems from a
product’s design through production and sustainment. Skilled in adapting to a wide range of project
requirements and quickly learning new concepts. Excelat tasks by effectively collaborating with design teams
of various disciplines, motivating co-workers to perform, and keeping detailed records.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
DRS Technologies, Inc. St. Louis, MO
Senior Electrical Engineer 2015–2016
Coordinate team efforts, lead design reviews, and make informed design decisions to ensure all aspects of
program requirements are met throughout its life cycle. Provide electrical, systems, and software engineering
guidance on severalArmy vehicle platforms. Create technicaldocumentation and direct production and testing
of equipment.
 Designed test equipment and conducted stress testing on system components to ensure reliability and
validate upgrade potential, eliminating prior plan to perform costly recalls to modify field equipment.
 Assigned urgent role in software group, developed C++ code updates on ruggedized tablet for military
GPS waypoint navigation, allowing exceeding newly expanded customer requirements before deadline.
 Conducted detailed design reviews of individual system components, identified multiple vendor errors
on printed circuit card designs, preventing program delays and saving $10,000 on faulty parts.
 Generated electrical schematics and CAD drawings, constructed, and operated diagnostic equipment
that allowed for in-house testing of circuit cards and electrical system components.
 Wrote technical documentation for solving incident reports generated during field use of military
vehicles.
Dynetics, Inc. Huntsville, AL
Electrical Engineer and Scientist (Held DoD SECRETClearance) 2010–2015
Subject Matter Expert on the Longbow program, leading the simulation efforts within a team of Engineers,
Physicists, and Software Developers. As lead engineer, train employees, delegate tasks, and manage contract
budget. Author final reports detailing performance analysis and deliver technical briefings to members of federal
military forces. Establish and nurture customer relationships to foster additional program growth.
 Developed original engineering tools and performed detailed radar simulation analysis, securing new
customer to move Army program out of sustainment phase and into levels of new development not seen
in decades.
 Converted tactical mission code from ADA to FORTRAN,as required by legacy simulation, allowing
for accurate modeling and enabling pre-flight predictions to move program beyond concept stage.
 Directed onsite efforts for success of field tests. During RIMPAC testing, required to make extensive
script changes for same-day mission processing to account for unexpected alteration of message
formats. Coordinating with test personnel and quickly completing code fixes allowed for mission
success.
 Improved real-time visualization tools to monitor GPS location of assets. Increased situational
awareness allowed successfultest completion in spite of unexpected shortened range time.
 Assigned to optimize control guidance systems of a basic interferometer, utilized neural networks as a
novel approach to compensate for noisy measurement data that previously hindered performance.

Missouri University of Science and Technology Rolla, MO
Student Assistant Technician 2009
Assist the Education Technology Department in launching a new website and tools to inform campus professors
of the emerging technology available to them to improve effectiveness in the classroom. Upgrade and manage
campus computers and network.
BorgWarner Transmission Systems Water Valley, MS
Electrical Engineering Co-op 2007, 2008
Execute a variety of engineering tasks, including device programming and machine troubleshooting over two
separate work rotations. Assist engineers and skilled technicians in designing, operating, and maintaining
manufacturing and test equipment.
 Completed the task of designing, building, and programming a Hi-pot tester,used to identify
manufacturing defects early in the assembly process, drastically reducing the amount of scrap parts for
the factory.
 Designed the solenoid test line floor layout, monitored and ensured continuation of the assembly
process, and identified key areas for improvement, resulting in meeting product launch quotas for new
Ford platform, vital in the facility securing future production contracts.
 Developed software to record part barcode data then modified SQL database to store data, enabling
ability to track factory parts and improving efficiency of the audit process for Product Engineers.
 Wrote detailed instructions to train hourly workers on equipment operation during critical operation
time.
