About Kyle Zienin
Systems engineer with a strong background in aerospace and DoD test & integration, modeling & simulation, and defense acquisition processes. As a lead engineer and program manager, I’ve helped establish a culture of Agile thinking within my team and interest in Universal Interfaces, Model Based Systems Engineering, and Open Systems Architectures. Aerospace, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering experience in technical disciplines such as unmanned systems, command and control, gas turbine engines, computational fluid dynamics, loads and strength, amongst others. Program management experience in areas such as contracts, budgets, asset / resource management, logistics, and integrated master schedules. Background working in international design teams with over five years of experience in German communication both written and oral. Technical skills in software packages such as Vitech CORE, Pro-E, Catia, AutoCAD, MATLAB, Fluent, TecPlot, Microsoft Project, and programming (C, Visual Basic, Python, etc). I feel fortunate to have the professional and technical experience to develop optimal design solutions for both government and industry, and to quickly adapt to new challenges!
