Alliant Techsystems Inc (ATK), formerly Thiokol Corporation, Space Systems (03/13/2007 - 11/13/2009)
Hazards Analyst-Working independently with minimum supervisory consultation, general responsibilities required performing complex
system safety, hazard analysis engineering assignments. Often functioned in a consulting role or had project leadership of important
tooling development, design or manufacturing projects requiring technical experience and ability. Specific responsibilities and
accomplishments included preparing Q-D analyses, process hazard analyses, including system safety analyses, engineering change
proposals (safety), safety waivers and explosives hazard classifications. From a system safety perspective, evaluated and/or
approved various engineering drawings, specifications test plans, test reports and shop floor planning and operation change requests
in support of RSRM, RSLP and Minuteman systems.

System Engineer IV- General responsibilities included supporting the investigation and resolution of field and depot problems, leading
failure investigations, and identifying and mitigating risks associated with sustainment and assessment requirements. Specific
responsibilities involved evaluating Minuteman and Peacekeeper assessment data provided by the Air Force and contractor
teammates (JV) and coordinating inputs to the Weapon System Effectiveness Report (WSER). These responsibilities necessitated
coordinating the review and approval of assessment requirements and component-level test plans and reports; assuring assessment
databases are accurate and current; interfacing with the customer (within the IPT environment) on significant assignments pertaining
to assessment activities; and providing training and assistance to teammates when necessary, in fulfilling the Prime Team
assessment process. Accepted and completed additional temporary responsibilities, including coordinating all of Propulsion FDE
related activities until a permanent replacement was obtained.

Peacekeeper Aging Surveillance programs. Tasks entailed conducting trend analysis and assessment of physical and mechanical
property test data of various motor components and bondline interfaces, including propellant; providing reliability assessment and
TALE estimations; maintaining a viable database, attending Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) and interfacing with customers
(e.g. Northrop Grumman, OO-ALC, etc.).
Reliability/Design Engineer - Responsibilities necessitated developing reliability program plans and providing reliability predictions for
the SICBM first stage motor, based upon stress-strength reliability techniques for continuous improvement. Additional duties included
forecasting SICBM and Minuteman, Stage I, reliability growths and maintaining reliability demonstrations and Failure Modes and
