EMPLOYMENT HISTORYSENIOR ENGINEER GENERAL DYNAMICS ELECTRIC BOAT, GROTON, CT JAN 2015–PRESENT Worked with government customers and subcontractors to design, produce, and test a system integral to a marine propulsion system. Coordinated with customers to develop and refine requirements for contractual invocation, including both human interfacing and deterministic interfaces with external systems. Performed technical analysis of subcontractor design throughout detail design phase of the project and provided formal correspondence relative to the outcome of those analyses. Notable Accomplishments: Formally submitted the detail design procurement specification in the first month of employment Worked with the customer to develop and submit to the vendor the local user interface to be
used for the component Performed a vital role as the software lead within the project; coordinated with internal and
external reviewers to ensure a compliant design is delivered Performed a detailed evaluation of the component from an information assurance perspective
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER I PROGENY SYSTEMS CORP., MANASSAS, VA AUG 2009–JAN 2015 Designed, tested, and supported electrical systems and circuits under several projects for government customers. Operated under full design-cycle engineering principles by defining customer requirements, designing, prototyping, testing, product manufacturing, delivery, and support. Created BOMs and customer-deliverable documentation, including schematics, drawings, requirement specifications, and test and support documentation. Developed breadboards and prototype models, including custom magnetics, to evaluate electrical circuits and components, as well as product testers. Coordinated with engineers, technicians, project managers, vendors, and customers to ensure successful delivery of end products. Notable Accomplishments: Developed a test bed for stringent qualification of photonic devices used in a sensing platform:
pivotal in winning a contract bid Instrumental in the fabrication of a prototype induction-based power connector for DC
applications with a high efficiency of 86% Designed and tested a fiber optic replicator and switch with its power supply for a mission-
critical system Created automated LabVIEW testers for multiple noise-sensitive subsystems
DAVID COVINGTON Aided in the successful delivery of advanced information assurance platforms through system
