without any redlines at the requirements review.
- Built rapport and encouraged collaboration with external interface contractors and interface
document authors to buy down the risk of the enterprise concurrent development activities.
- Established a positive working relationship with a key external interface, enabling efficient
exchange of engineering data and interface development collaboration to ensure successful
enterprise test events.
- Identified and realized efficiencies and improvements to reduce costs and save resources by
collaborating across engineering disciplines within the RTM team and across the enterprise.
- Responded to dynamic schedules and milestones with little or no direction and defined
expectations to successfully deliver high quality work products on time; received acceptance.
- Researched, streamlined and developed new processes and procedures for the engineering
team providing a quick link guide to enable engineers to find key information quickly.
- Assessed system deficiencies versus system enhancements and scheduled timely
improvements into the RTM system.
Systems Engineer, Staff (05/10 – 04/12), Deputy Requirements Lead
Airborne and Maritime/Fixed Station Joint Tactical Radio System (AMF JTRS) Acquisition Category
(ACAT) 1D program
- Led successful requirements baseline management by working across disciplines to resolve
system requirement problems and improve processes for use across subcontractor and LM
teams.
- Consistently delivered system, subsystem, and design specification updates on time;
received customer acceptance.
- Built rapport and encouraged collaboration with subcontractor technical teams and
Subcontract Program Managers (SPMs) to drive closure for key requirements specifications.
- Streamlined business processes by working closely with Subcontract Engineering Program
Managers (SEPMs) to bridge the gap between engineering and contracts.
- Delivered the AMF JTRS DOORS database on a monthly basis and the System Level
Specification on a quarterly basis; administered and maintained DOORS
users/permissions/requirements.
- Trained a team to successfully perform Unity & DOORS administration tasks; developed
applicable desk procedures to ensure administration tasks were efficient and repeatable.
- Prepared data for the Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT) team in support of
the Class C CMMI level 5 internal and Corporate Audits.
