Brian Scott Woodward

Engineering leadership & program execution

• Own headcount and capacity planning across the product lines and set development goals. Built per-line knowledge bases to transfer acquired-product knowledge to the team.
• Built Jira program-governance tooling for DAL A/B hardware programs: a gated SRR-to-PRR lifecycle enforced by workflow validators, per-gate approvers, and requirement-to-verification links.
• Led a program re-baseline and automated weekly Earned Value reporting.
• Administer the Change Control Board: set ECR decision rules, started engineering-to-ERP BOM reconciliation, and wrote the draft EIA-649 Configuration Management Plan.
• Lead technical proposals and bottom-up (PERT) estimates.
• Led an AS9115A software quality-system gap assessment against a DO-178C Level A baseline, including NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity controls.

Digital transformation & DevSecOps

• Lead workstreams for PLM, requirements, test management, Atlassian, and SCM/CI-CD. Wrote a 90-requirement compliance matrix covering 16 regulations and standards (ITAR/EAR, DO-178C/DO-254, AS9100, NIST SP 800-171, CMMC).
• Leading the move from legacy SCM to Git-based CI/CD: a verified migration tool and a draft Git standard mapped to DO-178C.
• Implemented ITAR/EAR access control across Jira and Confluence. Shipped production Atlassian Forge apps, including a least-privilege ERP-to-Jira integration.
• Piloted SysML v2 model validation in CI. Architecting a secure, on-premises AI knowledge server with export-control safeguards.

• Directed a small team of engineers maintaining the acquired product lines.
• Ran diminishing-manufacturing-sources (DMS) and obsolete-parts management for the aging lines.
• Converted legacy engineering documentation from paper and PDF into native mechanical drawing sources.
• Redesigned product assemblies to cut BOM cost, resolve obsolescence, and recreate missing drawings.
• Developed automated test equipment (ATE) for production testing, calibration, and debug of acquired products.
• Maintained product documentation, supported qualification, and coordinated with the FAA.

• Led an 11-person software team, exercising functional authority for planning, organizing, integrating, and delivering the program's software.
• Served as Certified Cost Account Manager (CAM), owning Earned Value performance and budget reporting for assigned cost accounts.
• Worked with the PMO and project leadership on contract commitments, project baselines, and proposal development.

• Implemented simulation components for the Oasis Test Set and Test Driver.
• Designed and built custom software test solutions for developer-level and system-level test execution.
• Took part in Engineering Technical Reviews (ETRs) of software requirements, design, and code deliverables.

• Led a 7-person multidisciplinary engineering team executing CISS programs for Boeing.
• Built the program plans, schedules, budgets, and resource plans for $26M of surveillance-system programs.
• Ran 3 concurrent programs on schedule and on budget.
• Represented the programs at on-site customer reviews, schedule assessments, and technical issue resolution.
• Received the 2020 Raytheon Technologies Excellence Award for Performance, Execution, and Results.

• Led 6 software and verification engineers through development and certification of the CISS OFPs.
• Managed development progress against certification-authority guidance, keeping the program fully DO-178B/C compliant.
• Administered the program's requirements (DOORS), configuration management (Git), and problem reporting (Jira) systems across the lifecycle.

• Led a cross-functional team developing an aftermarket Flight Management Computer for the Boeing 737, owning schedule management, ROM estimates, customer expectations, and mentoring.
• Led FMC software development across a 2-year product lifecycle, delivering certified avionics at multiple DO-178B/C Design Assurance Levels.
• Wrote systems, software, and low-level requirements for FMC, PFD, and MFD products, and authored DO-178B life-cycle data including the PSAC, Software Development Plan, and Software Design Description.
• Architected the software APIs for integrating the commercial FMS, and designed value-added FMC functionality for evolving customer and platform needs.
• Supported customer flight-test campaigns on site, and worked with customer support to resolve field issues in deployed FMC software.

• Developed commercial Flight Management System (FMS) software: flight planning and route management, lateral and vertical navigation (LNAV/VNAV), and navigation database development to DO-200.
• Developed and modified DO-178B flight code for multi-display cockpit systems, including avionics data-bus drivers and ARINC 429/453/708 parsers.
• Developed embedded control software for an auto-throttle subsystem, and GUI software for PFD, MFD, and FMS displays.
• Promoted to Lead Software Engineer in 2010.

• Managed hardware and software development for three gas-analyzer product lines, from requirements definition through production release.
• Guided sales teams and customers through customizing COTS gas analyzers for application-specific requirements.
• Delivered on-site product training at customer facilities.

• Developed a Windows application (Visual Studio MFC) for configuring and simulating embedded gas-monitoring devices.
• Built production test-bench software for the refrigerant-analysis product line, driving up to 128 USB devices at once with per-device status and failure alerts, which streamlined calibration and post-production testing and cut setup and test cycle time.
