SUMMARY
Mr. Chiappetta is seeking a full-time position as a Senior Staff Engineer for missions applied to spacecraft,
manned/unmanned aircraft, and their ground stations. Mr. Chiappetta is specialized in the Systems Engineering,
design and (advanced) packaging of directional mmWave through optical assemblies for air and spacecraft.
Mr. Chiappetta has performed new product development in linearized frequency converters (8GHz through 100GHz),
InP LNAs, power amplifier linearizers (44GHz through 100GHz) for tubes and solid state, free-space optical link
refinement, SBIR Proposal concepts & technical writing.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Unique Solutions 2016 - Present
Consultant (mmWave packaging)
Mr. Chiappetta is assisting Unique Solutions in the design of V-Band and E-Band Radar (mmWave imagers) for a
commercial application that which will soon transition to production.
Westwind Technologies in Alabama 2015 - 2016
Senior Staff Engineer
Mr. Chiappetta helped complete Westwinds first UAV; with 3lb payloads (24 Megapixel still camera, Tracking
Gimballed Camera, and a nose camera) was 17 Lb GTOW (for 1 hour) or 22 Lb GTOW (for 2 hours). Also Mr.
Chiappetta generated numerous proposed (Microwave, mmWave and optical) Directional Communications
arrangements in an effort to bring work into Westwind.
Private Consultation 2015
Mr Chiappetta has design-reviewed a well-packaged 4-Cyl Heavy-Fuel Engine with boost for high-altitude operation,
and showing ability to replace Lycoming and Continental engines. This 100-450 HP engine has been designed in the
U.S.A for efficiency, ease of manufacture, High Reliability, quietness, and greatly reduced torsional harmonics. Mr.
Chiappetta has also assessed the use of Liquid Natural Gas for arctic and naval aviation propulsion.
NAVMAR Applied Sciences in PA 2012 - 2015
UAS Senior Staff Engineer
Mr. Chiappetta was applied as a UAS Senior Staff Engineer within the Advanced Development group at Navmar
Applied Sciences Corp (NASC) where he had been responsible for Tigershark UAV performance and new UAV
product development in the area of Tier III, II, & I UAV, UAS with emphasis on a clean-sheet design of a 57 HP 2-
Stroke gasoline engine development that passed the FAR 33 endurance evaluation. This engine design was to evolve to
heavy fuel capability. Mr. Chiappetta also lead the independent development of a 2-stage boost assembly for high
altitude loitering. This assembly weighed 10 Lbs and was inspired by the performance parameters of the 3-Stage
ERAST boost information released from the NASA Teal Rain effort. Mr. Chiappetta assessed exhaust power
regeneration for extended cruise endurance and increased electrical power capabilities, Reduction-Drive design,
torsional harmonic mitigation, engine power to propeller load matching, propeller quieting and variable-pitch propeller
procurement.
Mr. Chiappetta also help configure and execute a Mobile Operations Center (a GCS) that featured his Directional
antenna suite and Omni roost. Vehicles & Components; antennas, maritime weatherization, Ice Mitigation, composite
strut development, EMI susceptibility levels with mitigation, microwave circuit hardening, Wireless Comms hardware,
avionics, and servos. Mr. Chiappettas Phase I Army SBIR Ku-Ka SATCOM antenna for manned aircraft was invited
to Phase II. Mr. Chiappetta also provided Technical Evaluations to support Purchasing.
Linearizer Technology, Inc (LTI) (LTI-GOV) (LP) 2009 - 2012
Consultant
Mr. Chiappetta performed SBIR proposal, technical papers, product concept and business development, and test work
on millimeter Linearizers to Ka-Band, Q- V- E- & W-Band power amplifiers to improve efficiency. Also Mr.
Chiappetta started a product line of Linearized Block Upconverters (LBUCs) to improve SATCOM Hardware
integration and LTIs competitive edge. Mr. Chiappetta has worked closely with (the VP of) Linear Photonics to
support their analog fiber optic hardware developments.
Lockheed Martin IS&GS (formerly GE Military & Data Systems Division) 2003 2009
Systems Engineer, Senior Staff
Mr. Chiappetta revisited Lockheed Martin as Spacecraft Systems Engineer, Senior Staff in the Systems Integration
organization (SI OCI firewall) at Valley Forge PA and continued applied optical link work and providing advisement
on the space segment missions. Mr. Chiappetta also supported Hypersonic SATCOM command and control links
applied to the Falcon HTV-1 and HTV-2 Mach-20 reentry vehicles and their antenna stations. Mark also supported
analyses and reports on a TRL-9 Free-Space Optical full-duplex link system. Mr. Chiappetta supported the GPS III
Proposal team as the Navigation Payload Specification Author with emphasis as SME on the power amplifiers, atomic
clock devices and technologies, an the 60 GHz crosslink hardware and system. The GPS III spacecraft work was
followed to Newtown PA to support SDR, PDR and CDR. GPS III has moved to CO, and the Newtown facility has
closed.
Senior Staff Engineer, various organizations 1997 - 2003
Mr. Chiappetta was invited to join a small optical startup in support of a joint Lockheed Martin/GE-Corporate
Research effort in the development of in-line fiber optical modulators. Mr. Chiappetta followed the packaging
technology by applying the HDI Laser-array and Detector array module fabrication with GE-CRD and AMP Industries
(now TYCO) , which led to supporting analog fiber-optic link developments applied to IDECM Towed-Decoy, and
link deliveries to the Rivet Joint SIGINT aircraft, System Studies of analog optical links to feed the Combat-Sent
SIGINT aircraft, and being invited to support both-sides (Firewalled) of the Boeing vs Lockheed competition for the
JSF-35 fighter aircraft involving silicon-dioxide coax versus microwave-mmWave links for JSF & digital parallel
optical link fabrication for F-22 to JSF.
Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space (Formerly GE Space Systems Division) 1986 - 1996
mmWave Hardware Engineer
Mr. Chiappetta served as a millimeterwave hardware design engineer for GE-Space Systems (now Lockheed Martin
Missiles) in Valley Forge PA, where he led the development of many microwave, millimeter wave, and fiber optic
components and subsystems for numerous Military and Commercial GEO, and Civil-LEO spacecraft. Mr.
Chiappettas Hardware design techniques yielded space-borne low phase noise Dielectric Resonator oscillators (Master
Oscillators for EOS-AM, EOS-PM, LANDSAT-7, and the 60GHz Crosslink Adv Comm Subsystems), FET-HEMT fast
hopping frequency multipliers (MILSTAR EHF-LDR), up- and down-converters (Mixers, filters, and such) on various
payloads to other SVs, Monoscan converters for Antenna Dish pointing, supported process development and use of
High-Density Interconnect (HDI) of mmWave circuits, and made fiber optic analog DFB-laser and photodiode
receivers with reactive matching having either broadband or selective microwave passbands.
