Camila Tapia-Salazar

• Applied Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to design and analyze a naval combat system, developing Block Definition Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, and Use Cases in SysML using MagicDraw/Cameo with Teamwork Cloud for collaborative model management.
• Developed and presented contractual Functional Design Documents (FDDs) while leading technical discussions with customers and cross-functional program teams, ensuring alignment on system design and enhancing stakeholder collaboration.
• Authored and managed acceptance criteria, functional requirements, and associated test procedures in IBM DOORS, ensuring end-to-end traceability and validation through a test-driven development approach.
• Decomposed system products into discrete solutions, identifying carried-forward versus new solutions and authoring boundary descriptions that defined solution boundaries, establishing a clear foundation for downstream test traceability.
• Analyzed hundreds of legacy verification test steps and system requirements as part of a test-modernization effort, documenting traceability between test steps, requirements, and target capabilities in a shared traceability matrix.
• Authored acceptance criteria and composed modernized, product-aligned test steps for assigned solutions, ensuring coverage validated full system functionality rather than only re-verifying legacy behavior.
• Leveraged AI-assisted engineering tools to review legacy verification test steps, assess and document requirement applicability, and generate modernized test steps and acceptance criteria for team review, accelerating analysis across large volumes of test steps.
• Designed mission-critical operator user interfaces (UIs) that enhanced end-user experience and operational efficiency, contributing to improved mission success.

• Receive data from external visual sensors to alert the operator of any points of interest through image

processing.

• Design and develop a small, portable device capable of detecting detect human activity in visually

confusing backgrounds.

• Utilize cross-functional expertise and stakeholder collaboration to integrate technologies and ensure

alignment with project goals.

• Primary development in React.

• Led the development of the NPM package. Used Agile methodologies.

• Worked with other groups and served as liaison between groups.

• Used GITLAB and GITHUB for maintenance and testing. Tracked projects using JIRA and

Confluence for documentation.
