MAJOR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS --------------------------- LOCKHEED-MARTIN SPACE SYSTEMS, SUNNYVALE, CA 07/06~12/08 Sr. Systems Integration & Reliability Test Engineer, Staff Lead • Sr. Certified Test Conductor (CTC), Staff Lead for Space Systems Company; responsible for ‘Integration, Functional Test & Verification’ of small to medium-sized Flight Hardware: Components, PCB Circuit Cards, Electrical & Electro-Mechanical “UUT Black Boxes” comprised of science instruments & measurement elements, in various environments in the Flight Hardware Functional Avionics Test Qualification Lab with 55+ team members, working 80-100+ hour weeks. • Managed 1st shift daily Staff Meetings, based on pass-down from prior shifts coupled with continuous incoming work from Aerospace, Aeronautical, Astronautical & Military (Satellite/Spacecraft) Customer requests, which created an incredibly fluid, dynamic, fast-paced & ambiguous environment with frequently changing priorities, demanding I continuously re-prioritize the work distributed to Technicians/Engineers in the Flight Hardware Test Lab daily & during the day in order to meet the business needs of the many various Programs/Customers the Avionics Lab supported. Maintained focus & direction of all Tests to keep productivity of Lab high. • Developed technical solutions to complex Engineering, Management, Lab & Test problems requiring regular use of ingenuity & creativity using Engineering/Problem Solving/Technical/Leadership/Analytical skills, forward thinking proactively anticipating & mitigating potential Flight Hardware Test Lab issues before they occur. Ex. #1: Streamlined the Turn-around time of the Lab increasing Efficiency/Productivity by working with IT & Lab Planner to establish a Job Submittal Requests for all LM Space Systems Customers via a web-based Job submittal/tracking/closure/feedback portal. Ex. #2: Streamlined the Test Preparation process by creating a standardized set of Test Prep. Documents/Binders for all “Flight Hardware” entering the Lab, irrespective of: the type/complexity of Flight Hardware, of the Testing involved, or of the Program Customers utilizing the Lab’s Testing Services & Facilities. These efforts led to a ~15-20% faster turn-around time in Services/Productivity, yielding a savings of $1.857Million/Year. • Worked till end of 50+ year run of NOAA/NASA TIROS/DMSP satellite program. MICROJET / JUST PRINT TECHNOLOGIES, TAIWAN 04/02~05/06 • Reliability / Test / Product Quality Engineering Director, VP: Broad & diverse “hands-on” responsibilities in start-up Company in Taiwan.
