Managing Complex Systems

I possess a deep understanding of systems engineering, excelling in tasks like requirement management, verification, validation, and system architecture design. This expertise ensures a holistic approach to complex interdisciplinary engineering challenges, from conceptualization to implementation, resulting in robust and effective systems.

Requirements Management

I bring extensive expertise in developing precise, traceable, and unambiguous requirements for complex mechanical, electrical systems, and software. My approach ensures that every aspect of a project is meticulously defined, allowing for rigorous testing and ultimately leading to the successful development of robust and reliable systems.

Robust Design Expertise

I possess a deep proficiency in Robust Design methodologies, employing advanced techniques like Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis to optimize multidisciplinary system designs. This approach allows me to account for variability in inputs and environmental conditions, ensuring that our designs perform reliably and consistently under a range of real-world scenarios.

System Design

My proficiency in utilizing P-diagrams, state machine diagrams, and SysML as systems engineering tools has been instrumental in developing robust system designs. These techniques enable precise representation, analysis, and optimization of complex systems, ensuring their reliability and performance meet exacting standards.

Dynamic System Modeling and Analysis

My expertise in dynamic systems and control theory encompasses advanced modeling, analysis, and control strategies. This knowledge enables me to navigate complex engineering challenges associated with how systems respond in real world dynamic environments, ensuring that systems operate with precision, stability, and optimal performance.

Fluid System Design

With extensive experience in fluid systems, I excel in conceptualizing and creating P&IDs, sizing piping, and selecting valves and sensors for air, gas, water, fuel, and cooling systems. This proficiency ensures the seamless operation and optimal performance of critical engineering systems.

Mechanical System Design and Analysis

My expertise extends to mechanical system design and analysis, encompassing gear stress analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), robot kinematics, heat load analysis, and cooling system analysis. This skillset enables me to engineer robust, reliable, and high-performance mechanical systems, guaranteeing operational integrity and efficiency.

“His knowledge of mechanical, fluid and controls systems, and overall system level thinking helped engineers develop robust products for our customers. If you were ever stuck on a design problem, Mark would bring in a different perspective and help you move your design forward.”

Caryl Kindig

“Mark is defined by his incredible teamwork, guidance, and ownership of the many challenges our team faced and overcame. He is a natural leader, motivating people to take on projects and efforts with enthusiasm. He is also a talented engineer with a deep and broad knowledge of multiple disciplines. It was a pleasure working with Mark and I highly recommend him for any/all engineering, leadership, and executive roles.”

Kevin Richardson

“Mark is a leader who provides value at all levels of his team. Mark always has difficult questions for his engineers, both from a technical perspective and a business perspective. He always challenges us to think about the broader picture while hashing out the technical details.”

Dr. Dietrich Kiesewetter

“Mark’s depth of engineering expertise makes him extremely valuable, but it’s his warmth, consummate professionalism, and mentorship skills that make him a leader people want to follow. I count myself so very fortunate that our professional paths crossed.”
