EXPERIENCE (CONTINUED)

MICHEL ENGELHARDT, E.D.

OBJECTIVE

I am interested in assignments where I can apply my extensiveexperience as an electro-optical/infrared and thermal-fluids consultant in life-cycle product development, contract reviews, business development, management, and conceiving/integrating innovations on $10B of product development projects for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Loral, Northrop Grumman, and other companies. My expertise includes industry/military regulations, codes, standards; design reviews; UV/VIS/IR Signatures & E-OO/IR/SAR Sensors; computer simulations & software development; business and product development; and thermodynamics systems and low observable.

EXPERIENCE

2010 to Present: Consultant.

  • Consultant to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (“OSD”) in reviewing funded programs including management, cost, production, maintenance, and the technical requirements/performance of military aircraft, electronic warfare systems and facilities.
  • Part of the OSD team that performed a Nunn-McCurdy like review of the $9B Global Hawk Program. Develop hyper-spectral medical imaging systems for diagnosing cancers and ultraviolet systems to kill bacteria and viruses

1995to 2010: BAE Systems, Inc.,Greenlawn, NY

  • 2005 to 2010: Sr. Principal Mechanical Engineer II. Executive Leadership Team.
  • 2002 to 2005: Sr. Member Opto-Mechanical Technical Staff
  • 1998 to 2002: Sr. Thermal-Fluids Manager (formerly Lockheed Martin Fairchild Systems).
  • 1995 to 1998: Sr. Mechanical Engineering Manager. Medical and Military Imaging (formerly Loral). Led teams. Conceived, developed and integrated thermal/structural systems for imagers, electronics, radios, and synthetic aperture radar for ground, air, and space platforms valued at $200M annually. Collaborated with Business Development and wrote winning proposals for DOD and international customers for the thermal management and performance of VIS/IR imaging systems resulting in capturing over $100M of new business. Presented at PDR/CDR to top-level visitors including generals, admirals, congressional staff and senior management in the fields of aerothermodynamics, electronic cooling, structures, Environmental Control Systems, HVAC systems, and FEM/FDM simulations for the thermal management of ISR systems. Conceived, patented, and integrated innovative designs for structures, heat exchangers, heat pipes, liquid cooling, ram air, fans, coatings, PIDs, insulation, cryogenic coolers, desiccants, vapor/air cycle machines that met thermal control requirements for electronics, lasers, FPAs, and precision optics. Championed engineering processes and promoted a technical culture to comply with product life-cycle requirements resulting in securing CMMI level 3 and ISO 9000. Adopted the Fagan inspection method to drawings resulting in zero defects during manufacturing. Reviewed subcontractor performance and consulate on meeting systems requirements for over $700M of avionics support structures, thermal control, electronic cooling, and imaging systems. Developed transient aero-thermal computational models and conceived a method that controlled the temperatures of precision optics in aircraft bays within 0.3 C of its conditioned take-off temperature. Managed 30 engineers in the Pro-E design, ANSYS structural/vibration analysis, CFD analysis, thermal analysis, environmental testing, and prototype development of medical and military imaging systems. Conceived the thermal design of the GE Mammography Digital Imaging System (“GEMS”), performed cost/technical analyses and qualifications tests to meet worldwide operating requirements, and reduced production unit costs by 5%. Consultant to Program Managers in the analysis, design, test, and in meeting thermal-fluid systems integration requirements for USN: F-18 ATARS; USAF: F-16 TARS, SPIRITT, B-52 FLIR; USA: MPIM/SRAW, HyLITE, TWS, AWAPSS, WIN-T, CH-47D/F ATIRCM; ROCAF: F-16 Phoenix Eye, CTVS; IAF F-4 Phoenix; NASA International Space Station; and classified programs.

1982 to 1994: Northrop Grumman Corporation, Bethpage, NY

  • 1989 to 1994: Business Development Manager. Ultraviolet, Visual, and Infrared Structural Systems
  • 1982 to 1989: Thermodynamics Engineering Specialist. Led programs, business development, marketing, initiatives, R & D projects resulting in capturing multi-million dollars in tri-service low observable structures for ground, airborne, and space programs. Consultant to program managers. Produced/implemented strategic business plans for proposals, R&D, and survivability systems integration onto product lines to transition sensors, countermeasures and low observable structures into aircraft, land combat vehicles, military space and classified programs. Managed a 15-member team that developed, analyzed, and tested low observable systems, IR signatures, and conceived/patented low observable, smart structures, and imaging systems. Spearheaded proposal efforts for flares, lasers, decoys, engines, plumes, imagery exploitation, and camouflage coatings/structures that resulted in securing 12 DOD contracts valued at $8M. Engineering Manager of treat aircraft and missile IR signatures programs for U.S. Army and Air Force intelligence agencies valued at $3M annually. Led the $100M proposal activity for the integration of an IRST and IR countermeasures on the E-2C.

1983 to 2005: International Technology Development, Woodbury, NY

  • Owner Aerospace Education. Developed and presented seminars in IR radiation, propulsion, E-O/IR sensor systems, atmospherics, survivability, environmental control, electronic cooling, two-phase flow, and thermal-fluid systems. Received excellent reviews for seminar presentations from engineers and managers at NAVAIR, WPAFB, Kelly AFB, NAWCWD, NSWC, SRI, and SwRI and at NATO, TTC and EW conferences. Presented engineering seminars throughout North America, Western Europe, Japan, and Israel.

1978 to 1982: American Electric Power Service Corporation, New York, NY

  • Analytical and R & D Engineer. Part of the corporate leadership team that conceived solutions to coal and nuclear plan problems and developed innovative and efficient systems for electric power generations.
