JIM MANSON

At The Boeing Company, prior to working as a Manager for the So. Cal Region Systems Engineering - Systems Integration Verification and Validation, I worked as a Systems Engineering Manager for the C-17 Program. I started my career working for the Naval Gage and Standards Facility, in Pomona California, as a Gage Designer while I was working on my Mechanical Engineering Degree. Prior to Boeing, I worked for General Dynamics (Standard Missile Program), Baker-Hughes International (Oil Service Tools), and Fennix and Scisson (Nuclear Test Site).

I've been with Boeing for over 19 years and for the past 30 years I've had the opportunity to work as a Systems, Project Management, Structural, Manufacturing, Tool, Facilities, and Design Engineer. At Boeing, I worked on the MD-80/90/11 and 717 Programs in Long Beach California, and 747/67 Programs in Seattle Washington.

I received my BSME, from Cal Poly Pomona, Project Management Professional Certificate from PMI, and Systems Engineering Certificates from Cal Tech and UCI. I'm currently working on my Systems Engineering Masters from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and serving as the Chapter President for INCOSE-LA. But most of all, my main passion is my family. I met Doris my wife while I was going to school at Cal Poly, and have been married to Doris for almost 29 years and have two daughters, Rachel and Marissa.
