BLACK ENGINEER OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNERS Special Recognition


BRYAN GREEN Engineer, Northrop Grumman Corporation


Bryan Green joined Northrop Grumman in 2006, after earning a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and a master’s in computer information and systems engineer- ing from Tennessee State University. He is one of the key contributors on the airborne surveillance, target acquisition and minefield detection system (ASTAMIDS), and is


responsible for the integration and testing of the Airborne Pay- load (AP). The AP is a sensor suite on the Northrop Grumman FireScout unmanned helicopter that detects buried explosives. It’s equipped with electro-optical, infrared and multispectral cameras, along with lasers for range finding, enabling target capability. Mr. Green has earned over 150 flight hours on the Army Huey used to perform the majority of ASTAMIDS flight tests. While he was a student completing his undergraduate and graduate studies, he interned at NASA Glenn Research Center in the Satellite Networks and Architectures Branch. During this time, he volunteered with after-school chess clubs at a local elementary school. He’s been a supporter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America since 2008. Mr. Green has been honored as a Presidential Scholar by Tennessee State and is a NASA Scholar.

As a young engineer, Capt. Joseph was selected to lead one of the most complex programs at the Air Force Nuclear Weap- on Center. The program required management of people, resources, multimillions of dollars and tasks in 13 different locations in five coun- tries. Capt. Joseph has a bachelor’s degree in elec- trical engineering, with a minor in nuclear science. Since he graduated in


2002 from Louisiana State University, his electrical engineering, program management and nuclear experience have enabled him to have a significant impact on the U.S. nuclear enterprise. In his current position, he manages the maintenance depot shop at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, and he is responsible for the acquisition of all system components and subsystems. He has led a number of programs to modernize and maintain over $25 million of nuclear support equipment, and he now leads a group of senior engineers, technicians, and technical writers supporting reinvigoration of the nuclear enterprise. He has also served as engineer recruiter and officer in charge of ROTC field training. He is one of the Air Force’s top young officers and engineers.
