Rao Mannepalli’s Expertise 25 years of international, multi-industry and multi-cultural experience as Division Head, Program Manager, Chief Engineer, Chief Scientist, Chief Architect, and Principal Developer (at Leidos, Raytheon, Navy, Lockheed Martin, Bell Labs and ISRO). Designed, developed, tested, and delivered large complex mission critical systems on time with quality and within budget (some programs more than 500 million in R&D alone). Managed CapEx and OpEx. Managed departments up to 140 engineers & scientists. ... wrote while nominating me for the Distinguished Scientist of ACM, “When we look at a typical satellite launch sequence or a Ballistic Missile Defense scenario (or even the recent satellite shoot down), it is very difficult to identify the areas in which Rao has NOT made significant contributions.” The citation reads “For significant contributions to almost all the technologies that constitute Ballistic Missile Defense including Rao’s method an original contribution to Rocket Science” Deeply concerned with quality, productivity, process improvements, customer satisfaction and quality-of-life for team members. Routinely offered 5 for each bug found in the software developed by the team (and never had to pay in eight years). International and multicultural experience in dealing with partners, customers, government agencies, congressional committees, private industries, and academic institutions. Strategic thinker who takes pride in making systems “Lean-mean-and-efficient”. Invented many new technologies, methods and processes (termed “Exceedingly valuable” by F.P.Brooks, Father of IBM-360; “An original contribution to Rocket Science” by G.P.Sutton, Chief Scientist of DARPA). 24 inventions (patents awarded/pending/invention disclosures) in the areas of routing in optical networks, capacity and performance improvements, ballistic missile defense, sensors, signal processing, solar power plant design, energy dispatch algorithms, better driving directions, preventing suicide car bombings, prevention of pandemics like H1N1, identity theft prevention, and others Personally wrote more than half a million lines of code. Helped Mr. George P. Sutton in bringing out the ninth edition of his iconic book ‘Rocket Propulsion Elements‘, which for more than 60 years has been regarded as the single most authoritative source book on rocket propulsion technology. Two of my technical reports are references for this book.
