(2) Witnessed service acceptance and cutover testing at FAA sites of FAA Telecommunication Infrastructure (FTI) interfaces. (3) Conducted tests against serial (including RS-232, RS-449, and V.35) and voice grade interfaces. * Remote Monitor and Control (RMC) Testing: (1) Conducted operational testing of RMC interfaces at key sites and in a lab environment via the Maintenance Processor Subsystem (MPS). (2) Conducted tests against Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC - NAD-MD-790/790A), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Simple Asynchronous Interface (SAI) interfaces. * Field Support: Provided field support to operational systems. (1) Researched system configurations and assembled diagrams of the end-to-end architecture to understand the specific communication details of the affected interface in response to trouble calls. (2) Recreated field configuration in a test lab environment and attempted to reproduce and identify the cause of the problem. (3) Monitored daily reports of communications issues and contacted field representatives to assist with problem resolution. * Systems Engineering: (1) Conducted architecture design evaluation and requirements analysis to determine suitability of contractor proposed solutions to FAA specifications (2) Analyzed functional and performance capabilities of existing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) systems in the development of a Screening Information Request (SIR) submittal for FAA environmental RMC needs. * Protocol Analysis: (1) Conducted protocol analysis on the data link layer level of message streams (commands, status requests, alerts/alarms, and status responses) against message structures defined in the interface control document (ICD). (2) Developed 'cheat sheets' used on operational tests to assist with rapid identification of data format issues. * Configuration Management (CM) and Quality Assurance (QA): (1) Analyzed fielded configurations for telecommunications services ordered with diversity to ensure physical separation of equipment and wide area network transmission paths and submitted report of deficiencies. (2) Prepared plans and procedures for audits of operational systems to check actual hardware and software configurations vs. contractor CM records. (3) Conducted audits of equipment and services at FAA sites. (4) Analyzed FAA and contractor CM and QA documents and prepared memos detailing respective government and contractors roles and responsibilities in configuration management. * Electronics Test and Development: (1) Conducted electrical tests of communication equipment to include sensitivity, modulation distortion, frequency response, and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. (2) Programmed Hewlett Packard computers to control test equipment used to gather data over extended periods of time. (3) Prepared layouts of electronic boards designed for in-house CNI projects using schematic capture techniques and surface mount technology techniques. * Electronics Troubleshooting and Repair: (1) Navy technician responsible for the maintenance and repair of shipboard high frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) transceivers, couplers, and antennas, and the satellite communications system (UHF transceiver, interface unit, and high speed printers). (2) Repaired equipment on the circuit card and component levels. * Task Lead: (1) Assigned personnel to test activities, monitored progress, and submitted weekly and monthly progress reports. (2) Conducted annual personnel evaluations. (3) Interviewed candidates for positions on my task and other tasks in support of FAA programs. (4) Trained new personnel on test and evaluation (T&E) techniques, communication protocols, and development of test documentation. (5) Led test teams on key site tests of RMC interfaces. * Software Development: Novice-level programming experience in HTML and Pascal. * Requirements Analysis: (1) Traced requirements from top level specifications down through hardware and software design documents to ensure all system requirements were assigned to a specific hardware and software configuration items (HWCIs and CSCIs). (2) Correlated functional and performance requirements detailed in specifications and design documents to existing test cases to determine adequacy of FAA testing. (3) Analyzed contractor design documents to determine design suitability to meet the requirements. * Test Equipment Experience: (1) Working background with multimeters, RF meters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, wide area network transmission analyzers (2) Some testing experience on Linux/UNIX platforms. * System Design Document Review: (1) Strong background in reviewing system deign and test documentation for conformance with FAA requirements. (2) Key member of a team assigned to the NEXCOM RPDE program assigned to rapidly review large system design documents and quickly review and submit combined comments. * Test Documentation: (1) Developed test and evaluation mater plans, test plans, test procedures, test reports, and trip reports for FAA programs. (2) Applied technical writing skills learned on the job and via tech writing course to develop documents for technical and non-technical readers. (3) Reviewed test documents prepared by peers and submitted comments to documents authors. * Test Documentation Templates: (1) Proactive in the development of test documentation templates to facilitate rapid submission of test plans, test procedures, and test reports. (2) Developed a test workbook capturing elements of skills required to conduct operational tests of RMC interfaces. (3) Over 20 years of experience with MS Office products. * Reports and Schedules: (1) Complied individual weekly status report inputs into a combined status report. Developed monthly status reports from the weekly status reports. (2) Maintained a test schedule of users requiring lab support resources.
