PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Mercury Systems, Chelmsford, MA (Advanced Computing Systems)
Best-of-breed provider of commercially developed, open sensor and Big Data processing
systems, software and services for critical commercial, defense and intelligence
applications.
Senior Field Application Engineer 2008 – 2014
Managed multiple defense prime contractor accounts covering the Pacific Northwest
Region with a focus on securing new design wins and supporting program lifecycle needs
of current programs.

Successfully secured multiple design wins meeting quota on a consistent year
over year basis.
Designed several sensor processing subsystems using well defined ISO processes
including requirements gathering, requirements definition and solution mapping
resulting in a best-of-breed subsystem design that would meet and, in many
cases, exceed program requirements.
Provided frequent on-site technical support working directly with customer
engineering teams with a goal of ensuring a win-win integration effort.
The complexity of delivered SIGINT subsystems frequently required providing
group and individual training sessions as well as the development and
performance of Acceptance Test Procedures to meet delivery requirements.
Mercury Computer Systems, Chelmsford, MA (OEM Solutions Group)
Division of Mercury Computer Systems with a charter designed to leverage corporate
investments in defense industry innovation and apply that innovation to the Original
Equipment Manufacturing Marketplace.
Field Application Engineer 2001 – 2008
Member of a team initially charged with ensuring the success of a competitive down
select process for a highly scalable next generation image computer subsystem for a
major semiconductor manufacturing company.
Successfully won the business leading to valuable, high volume, follow on
business with a separate division within KLA-Tencor.
Became an embedded member of the engineering team with in the Wafer
Inspection division of KLA-Tencor reporting directly to the director of
engineering and, in some cases, directly to corporate management.
Worked to successfully scale Mercury Image Computer subsystems to support
semiconductor inspection processes requiring from 4-64 Altivec enabled
PowerPC processors utilizing Mercury RACE++ fabric technology.
Success with the Wafer Inspection systems concurrently led to a design win
opportunity in the Reticule Inspection division of KLA-Tencor. Again, the
competitive down select process was a success, resulting in a modernized
Mercury Image Computer designed to scale up to 300+ processors. This time
based on the Mercury developed Serial RapidIO open standard.
Continued to provide embedded on-site product life cycle support for both
divisions of KLA-Tencor on a daily basis until a restructuring at Mercury
Computer Systems led to the restructuring that became Mercury Systems in 2008.
