October 2007 — Present (1 year 10 months)
Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Weapon System - Responsibilities include analysis of current and future missile defense architectures and capabilities in order to assess operational performance, capability shortfalls, and architecture alternatives. Engineering, operations management, and excellent communication skills are used to determining functional requirements and interface changes required by new system capabilities, architecture sensitivity analyses, and trade studies in order to establish processes, procedures, tools and techniques for system operators and maintainers.
Leadership roles include supporting the teams cost account manager by applying earned value management standards; working with multi-disciplined, cross-functional teams to ensure proper requirements/verification understanding, definition, flow-down, and closure; and writing, reviewing and updating operational checklist, processes and procedures, and plans for use by system operators. Other duties include analysis of operational sites and systems to assist in concept design, systems integration and control, and to develop new systems and tools that increase situational awareness, operational availability, and decision-making abilities.

Future Combat Systems - Modeling and Simulation Systems Engineer – Logistics Engineering & Analysis
Responsibilities included using a collaborative approach to systems engineering to support the Army’s goal of modernizing combat systems of the future. Modeling and simulation, interdisciplinary, and systems management skills are utilized to lead analyses that ensure system and system-of-system mission success and focus in particular on sustainability, transportability, reliability, availability, deployability, survivability, and other specialties areas.
Analyses, simulations, models, and other quantitative decision support tools are developed to refine logistics and sustainment operations. Discrete event simulations are developed primarily when unknown variations and behaviors require identification prior to design implementations (i.e., evaluation of water generation from air, fuel consumption of a platform due to additional electronics, and supply chains that are performance driven). Leadership roles vary between analyzing, preparing, designing, and delivering requirements, documentation, presentations, and simulation demonstrations to internal, Army, and one-team partners.
Rotational responsibilities also include participating as a modeling and simulation expert, role player/puckster, and point of contact during operational war games, integrated mission tests, and other program milestones.
