Paul Zarda Has Been Working With Lockheed Martin For Over Three Decades

Paul Zarda is an Orlando based seasoned professional with significant years of experience under his belt. At Lockheed Martin, he is the Manager of Engineering Methods Group and Distinguished Member Technical Staff. His responsibilities at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control provides direct support of the engineering community in the areas of Mechanical Design and Analysis, System’s Engineering, and Optical Design. He has over 30 years of experience in numerical analysis techniques both in the area of finite element and finite difference algorithms.

Paul Zarda is an expert in finite element techniques applied to stress and dynamic analyses within Lockheed Martin. His work has led to the development of various tools that increase an engineer’s productivity. He has taught over 20 courses in the CES program at Lockheed Martin as well as approximately 15 courses to over 300 students in UCF’s undergraduate and graduate program where he is Research Professor of Engineering in the Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering Department. He has been an invited speaker at many functions, including AIAA, ASME, University of Florida and the University of Central Florida (UCF) functions.

In addition to this, Paul Zarda also reviewed engineering processes at Lockheed’s Missile and Fire Control Facility in the area of conceptual and preliminary design of missile and fire-control systems, and this lead to a developed architecture and methodology to capture that knowledge. Today the Engineering Methods Group offers the IMD (Interactive Missile Design) and the IGD (Interactive Gimbal Design) systems for conceptual missile and fire control designs, respectively.
