Engineering Manager at General Dynamics Land Systems
in Woodbridge, VA

"The biggest challenge is trying to staff and adequately resource programs that are incrementally funded or grossly underfunded at direction of Headquarters. As an Engineering Manager, I have enjoyed the ability to acquire, develop, and retain a diverse workforce that is technically agile to meet challenges. Due to the nature of our facility's work, we were able to reduce non-recurring engineering costs by 40% using innovative, agile software design."
