COMMENTS:

Was a Quality Inspector for the CCMS component spares, SRB Pyrotechnic Initiator Controller (PIC) circuit cards for the booster seperation system, the SRB nosecone packing and shipping containers, and worked on all 3 flight certified Manned Manuvering Units during fabrication and testing all built in Denver by Martin Marietta. As a Quality Engineer, I spent several months reviewing build documentation for components and cargo that was associated with Challenger’s final misson as part of the Return To Flight efforts. At KSC, I was a Process Engineer on the CLCS Project Tiger Team implementing processes that produced the 1st (and only) CLCS delivery to the Hypergolic Maintenance Facility. Also worked on processes used for the development of the sensors that were installed in the leading edge of the Shuttle wings after the Columbia accident. Performed Quality planning and inspection work on multiple missions that were launched on Shuttle, including the Magellan Venus Radar Mapper, Hubble Telescope, and Galileo Jupiter Spacecraft. As a Corrective Action Engineer, coordinated an investigation into Dale Resistor corrosion problems that ultimately had impacts to systems and payloads on the Shuttle.
