META-SYSTEMS DOCUMENTATION - Key Persons
Mr. Mark Lewis brings 37 years of DoD technical, program management, and leadership experience from both inside and outside of the Intelligence Community, to MSD's clients seeking true Engineering-Level Documentation Expertise as MSD's Director of Engineering.
As a civilian employee of the Department of the Navy for more than twelve years, and a technical services contractor for the Navy for more than eight years, Mark has conceived, developed, and tested submarine silencing concepts for several classes of U.S. Navy submarines and played key roles to integrate many of these technologies into the fleet. In addition to these engineering initiatives, Mark also served in multiple project and program management roles, including major submarine-focused acquisition programs at the Naval Sea Systems Command.
Mark joined the National Security Agency in 2004, where he held a number of systems engineering and management positions in multiple NSA mission areas. He compiled a successful record of creating system requirements and specifications, and successfully implemented them into engineering and acquisition initiatives.
Mark's vast experience as a technical manager within the DoD and IC communities combined with his first-hand knowledge of the methodologies for developing and deploying large- and small-scale systems, uniquely position him to support MSD's new and established clients. Mark's role as the Director of Engineering directly contributes to the development of task requirements and plans for product- and project-level technical documentation projects, as well as the leadership needed to achieve a timely, comprehensive and compliant suite of technical documentation.
Education:
Mark's education credentials include a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland in College Park, and a Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (now the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy) at the National Defense University in Washington, DC.
Mark's diverse expertise spans multiple domains including: mechanical engineering, acoustics and structural vibrations, signal analysis, DoD acquisition management, software engineering and testing, SIGINT operations, and Intelligence Community customer advocacy.
A key thread tying Mark's diverse experience together is his ability to collect, assemble, and organize information, and then clearly and concisely conveying that information in written form, as well as his experience with a vast array of technical document types that directly underpinned the DoD system engineering processes and end-user implementation of resulting technologies.
