Lockheed Martin
Who: Technical Writer
Where: Santa Maria, CA
When: November 2001 - December 2004
What: With Lockheed Martin, I worked in the Mission and Space Systems group that was developing and installing an entirely new communications, video, audio, control hardware/consoles, and data network for all rocket launch activity control systems at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and off-site remote tracking station locations (“Eastern Range”) AND a completely separate and different system with much of the same equipment at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and off-site remote tracking station locations (“Western Range”).
Some of my important accomplishments are:
Researched, visited, and interviewed principles to develop detailed system overviews, operations procedures, removal/replacement procedures, and illustrated parts breakdown diagrams involving hundreds of components for technical manuals covering specification, operations, remove & replace maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting information used by the United States Air Force in two separate large-scale core fiber optic-based network systems designed and installed by Lockheed Martin in dozens of buildings and remote sites spread throughout over 133 acres in Florida and over 22 square miles in California.
Spurred and orchestrated extensive cataloging and database of universal technical writing team writing standards, terminology, term definitions, acronym database style guides, and other operational information used for all technical manuals written for both the Eastern Range and Western Range.
