Paul Zarda Is Responsible For Moving The Engineering Community To Workstations

Paul Zarda is an Orlando based highly skilled professional with many years of working experience at Lockheed Martin. He is responsible for moving the engineering community to workstations, which resulted in an increase in computational capability and productivity. The transition from a VMS environment to Unix environment required a move that was led by the MCAE Analysis Group. The significant increase in productivity was welcomed by the engineering community.

He also has expertise in MCAE ( Mechanical Computer Aided Engineering) as well as KBE ( Knowledge Based Engineering). He supervised a Mechanical Design benchmarking team both at the local and corporate levels and also served as a Program Manager on DARPA’ s MADE and RaDEO program in Knowledge Based Engineering. This team received notable recognition from the Director of DARPA for their contribution in KBE methodology. Paul Zarda of Sanford also helped in acquiring a suitable communication link between IBM 3090 and VAX system. This process resulted in the interlinking of a hardware/software communication package that coupled IBM and VAX systems. This integration supported the foundation between IBM and DEC mainframes and the HP, DEC, IBM, and SG workstations.

He also acquired MSC/NASTRAN for structural analysis on the IBM 3084. Until this time, Lockheed Martin had been using structural analysis codes that were developed over 20 years ago, and were poorly documented and unsupported. This totally changed the way structural analysis was to be performed over the following years.

When Paul Zarda is not busy with his professional commitments, he likes to spend quality time with his family members, playing tennis and designing tennis racquets, and wood working in his home shop. Owing to his skills and expertise, he has established himself as a respected expert in his field.  

Paul Zarda Served As A Research Analyst Of Finite Element Modeling And Fluid Interaction

Paul Zarda of Sanford, Florida, is a reputed professional having years of experience in serving different areas. He served as a Research Analyst at David Taylor Research Development center which concentrates in the area of finite element modeling of fluid interaction problems and also joined Westinghouse, where he served as a Senior Engineer in Analysis and Design of nuclear steam generators. Later, he joined Lockheed Martin after serving at Westinghouse.

At Lockheed Martin, he served as a Program Manager in Web Based Design Environment which is jointly funded and supported by the combined efforts of Lockheed Martin, WFAPB, and Software Developer Technosoft. This collaboration was done in order to develop a collaborative web design environment. This design environment is based on AML, an object-oriented adaptive modeling language, which was offered by Technosoft. The AML/WDE environment constituted multiple servers, including an object request broker that coordinated communications between the servers and also multiple clients.

Paul Zarda also serves as the Program Manager of SHVD (Supersonic Hypersonic Vehicle Design program which is the development of a well enabled, object oriented, distributed framework that provides the environment for design and simulation of TAV’s (Trans Atmospheric Vehicles). The SHVD system manages data transfers between several designs and simulation tools. It is also based on AML programming language along with IMD system and the WDE/AML collaborative environment.

Paul Zarda of Orlando, has also revaluated engineering processes at Lockheed’s Missile and Fire Control Facility. His intervention led to the fully developed architecture and methodology to capture that knowledge. The Engineering Methods Group provides the IMD and IGD systems for the conceptual missiles and fire control designs. IMD has been pointed out by Lockheed’s Air Force customer as the key discriminator in recent proposal wins. Because of these skills and expertise Dr. Zarda has established a strong reputation among his peers and professionals.
