Terran I Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia
Background
Worked as Consultant Senior System Engineer working for a client who was a previous subcontractor to Boeing, Darronmont Pty Ltd, based at their Adelaide Office. Work on Voice Communications and TADIL enhancement proposals for an existing deployed system. This is a part time role.
Boeing Australia Ltd, Brisbane, Australia
Senior System Engineer,CSC Team, Vigilare Project
Background
The COA determined that they needed an agile team within the Boeing Staff on the Vigilare Project, to adapt the Viglare System to their swiftly changing needs.
Responsibilities
Work within the CSC Team is Task based with each individual engineer running tasks as mini-projects, each CSC Task in unique and has differing needs and approaches. Each task is planned and budgeted as a mini-project, plans reviewed and approved, and runs though the entire System Engineering life-cycle in a microcosym. Each of my completed tasks, completed on time and on budget, and deployed in the accepted system. This required very tight coordination of Ingration and Verfication activites with the main project team.
Completed CSC Tasks:
Python MFC Front End, Flight Plans, AMSTAR Radar, System Tracks for NorthROC,
NoiseMonitoring, CATC System Track, VII, and Flight Plan HMI improvements.
Senior System Engineer, Vigilare Project

Background
The Vigilare Project was rejuvenated in 2004 and I rejoined the team as Software Architect.
Responsibilities
Overseeing Software Architecture aspects of the System Design
SAIT DE with delegation for System Design/Review, Subsystem Review and approval, and responsible Engineer for INFO Subsystem
At times HMWWG Team Lead, Security Working Group team Lead, Safety Working Group team Lead.
Post System PDR Joined the INFO IPT (INFO being the major subsystem within Vigilare) as Senior System Engineer to bolster INFO Analysis and Development team within the IPT, responsible for analysis of dynamic behavior within the Subsystem. The INFO IPT at the time was the cirtical path of the project, and I was able to significant inprove both its SPI and CPI, mostly by driving tasks to completion.
Software Architect, HFMP Project,
Background
The Vigilare Project suffered an interruption at this point was placed on hold for 2 years. Was deployed to the HFMP project, and replaced the Software Architect who was just finishing up on the project.
Responsibilities
This role involved the oversight of the Software Design developed by Software Architects in each of the two HFMP Fixed Network Software Subsystems, TPSS and SMSS
Also responsible for Requirements management at System and a Subsystem levels.
Had standing delegation from Technical Manager for the all matters relating to TPSS and SMSS.
Acted as Technical Manager whilst the Technical Manager was on long service leave.
Senior Software Engineer & Software Architect, Vigilage Project,
Background
Returned to Vigilare Project as a Senior Software Engineer and was appointed Software Architect for the project.
Responsibilities
Lead the System Functional Analysis sub team with the Vigilare Development Team, the major task being the definition of the Vigilare Subsystems and thread analysis of system functionality to ensure that the Subsystems had high internal cohesion and low coupling with other subsystems.
Develop revised Software Estimates for the Project, this lead me to the creation of an estimating method and spreadsheet tool that later was developed in PR-BAL-0411
Software Team Lead Engineer, SDAIT Group,
Submarine Communications Upgrade Project, Phase 1.
Background
The Vigilare Project seconded me to the SADIT group, to lead a small software team within the SADIT Group, updating a software product previously developed at Boeing’s Lilydale Plant, in Victoria. This was Object PASCAL code and the challenge was mainly in setting up software processes which meshed with the heritage SDE.
Responsibilities
This role evolved into 2IC for the System/Software Engineering group working on the Submarine Communications Upgrade, CAM responsibility for about 2 of 5 Work Packages involved, Scheduling and Planning software/system/procurement/integration/test activities for sub-projects (CAP5308, CAP5011 and CAP4922).
As part of this managed small team developing test tools in C++ running on NT platform using Rational Rose for software design.
Senior Engineer, Software and System,
Vigilare Project.
Background:
Boeing Australia had tendered for the Vigilare program and sent a team of software engineers to Seattle for 6 months to work of the proposed system software. Due primarily to the delay in contractor selection on project, the assignment was ultimately extended to 21 months.
