Summary
Zach Duda is a systems engineer with 11 years of experience applying Agile and DevSecOps practices to deliver complex software and systems for defense and research organizations. He has progressed from RF/microwave and electronics engineering roles into systems-level engineering at Northrop Grumman, MITRE, and now BAE Systems, bridging hardware, software, and integration test disciplines. Known for instituting Scrum and iterative release cadences, he focuses on improving product quality and deployment velocity while handling interface development, performance analysis, and verification. Based in Encinitas, CA, he combines hands-on lab and field experience with formal engineering training from James Madison University and continued systems-architecture study. Colleagues would note his practical knack for turning rigorous requirements into repeatable release processes and his background in near-field antenna work that informs system-level tradeoffs.
