Technical Experience: Senior Engineer: Analytical Services Inc. April 9, 2007 – present Developing tools for performing hardness assurance for Missile Defense. These tools include a Radiation Tested Parts Database (RadCat®), a Radiation Hardness Assurance Toolkit (RadHAT™), and a test planning and test report writing software, RadTEST™. Performed radiation testing of a proprietary phosphate glass for NASA at Auburn’s Co60 facility. Performed radiation testing of SemiSouth SiC jFET at the Auburn facility. Re developed the magnetic shielding model for the Earth’s magnetosphere. Developed several applications of MCNPx for use with embedded materials, sensor calibration, and charge loss determination. Significant Projects at ASIDeveloped a database of radiation tested parts for use in spacecraft and missile defense. Worked on conversion of CAD modeled parts into MCNPx objects. Modeled laboratory test sources in MCNPx for comparison to experimental data Developed radiation test guidelines and reporting software Developed a Monte Carlo technique based on the Smart-Shay technique to calculate solar proton flux on missiles in flight. Performed testing at Auburn’s Leach Science Center Cobalt 60 facility Assisted in the development of SBIR proposals at all levels Assisted in securing funding for SBIR projects at all levels.
Radiation Effects Engineer: Sverdrup Technology, Inc., July 8, 1996 –April 6, 2007 Perform parts and materials analysis of spacecraft systems and designs to determine their sensitivity to the natural space ionizing radiation environment. This analysis includes determination of initial spacecraft orbit and projected variations, the natural space environment for those orbit, and placement of incidental and intentional shielding from spacecraft geometry. Furthermore, testing of specific electronic parts and materials that were believed to be sensitive to that environment has been performed to determine the relative system risk generated by that sensitivity. Other significant work performed under contract for NASA is presented on the next page:
