CHRISTIENNE E MANCINI
SYSTEMS ENGINEER
My experience as a systems engineer combined with my diverse education and professional background has allowed me to thrive in different intellectual and development-focused environments. I have developed strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills through my participation in teams that draw exceptional individuals from multiple government contractors and experienced military personnel. These experiences have trained me to solve complex problems rationally and methodically. I am able to quickly produce high quality products and critically think through problems and come up with effective solutions. I am looking for a new position in a challenging environment where I can continue to learn and grow and use my skills to benefit the company.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Student, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom (February 2011 – Present)
• Working at the University of Cambridge on a Boeing Grant studying Superconductors in the Department of Engineering
• Characterization of CeO2 additives and Toshima versus Nexans powders in bulk superconductors
• Cryogenic design and applications
• Melt processing of bulk superconductors
• Characterization of the superconductors for critical temperature, critical current, and magnetic field measurements.
• Designed various equipment for use in the lab to improve current processes and create faster and more effective testing techniques within cryogenic temperatures
- Designed a holder for samples that allows for the easy application of a magnetic field to samples such that they become superconducting and then allows for the testing of samples in the holder while withstanding cryogenic temperatures
- Designed an adjustable sample holder to polish samples
- Designed a test rig to test the magnetic field using hall probes that quickly and accurately measures the magnetic profile of superconducting samples

- Work across IPTs to establish and maintain end to end traceability of specifications from the system level to development, M&S, network, etc. to test and verification linking the team and products
- Develop and implement the DOORS architecture
- Use DXL scripts to obtain a higher level of configuration management and improve the efficiency of the tool
- Evaluate and report on the data with quantitative metrics for process improvement and better configuration management
- Create process documents and training material for the MDNTB organization
- Create data management plans and schematics for future growth of the database
- Create and manage DOORS partitions to exchange information with other organizations within the Missile Defense Agency
- Create a repository for the BMDS XML Standard, establishing relationships and scripts to export the document and the corresponding XML schemas
• Work closely with the BCE government customer providing reports, presentations, explanations, and documentation
• Produce Risk Assessments and Mitigation Plans
• Develop Use Case and Sequence diagrams using Rational Rose Enterprise for the development of a Block 06 specification
- The System Use Cases establish the architectural foundation for the development of system requirements
• C2BMC Element Specification Book Boss
- Produce the Element Specification for delivery to the government
- Work to ensure the documentation is correct and changed required are in the appropriate delivery
- Manage and maintain the many versions of the document in DOORS
• Received Letter of Appreciation from John Osborn, the Lockheed Martin C2BMC Program Director
• Received Peer Recognition Awards in acknowledgement of my contribution to C2BMC
Systems Engineer (Verification and Assessment), General Dynamics, Missile Defense Systems Engineering Team (MDSET), Arlington, VA (June 2004 – August 2005)
• Configure, implement, manage and maintain verification and assessment data to achieve a cohesive and accurate portrayal of data and documentation throughout the National Team
- Support Verification products using DOORS as the information database
• Define and allocate Verification criteria to Specifications and Test Events
• Collaborate with key government and industry personnel
• Organize work and analysis from military Subsystems to report on the overall assessment of the System
• Develop multidimensional verification matrices for the specifications on the National Team, which included the allocation of Engagement Sequence Groups as well as other verification data against “shall” statements
• A book boss for the Capability Verification Assessment Report (CVAR). This is a document that combines and assesses all results and verification data
- Received letter of commendation from Military personnel acknowledging exceptional performance in delivering a quality product on time. This resulted in monetary compensation.
Software Systems Engineer, General Dynamics: Electric Boat Corporation, GD Marine IPDE Operations Groton CT
(Sept. 2003-June 2004)
As an engineer at EBC, I solved incoming software problems for all design projects on CATIA and JCALS based applications. This required me to support both day-to-day activities and to participate in software development activities. My involvement with software development included working with engineers, designers, and testers at EBC as well as developers from CSC. I was involved in the entire software development process including the outlining of development requirements, beta testing of software, and writing technical training and procedures documentation.
