Arlen Hubbard:  

After graduating from MCHS, I attended Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University or CMU) in Pittsburgh, graduating in 1969 with a BS in electrical engineering. In 1968, I married Mary Szaniszlo, my high school sweetheart and fellow MCHS graduate. Following commissioning as a 2nd Lieutenant from ROTC at CMU, I served in the Army for a little over 7 years, including a tour in Viet Nam with two periods as a signal company commander. I left the active Army in 1976 and joined the Civil Service in San Diego as a project engineer for the record communications system on the Navy’s Nimitz-class nuclear carriers. Later I was stationed in Arlington, VA as project engineer for the development of all Marine Corps Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare systems. I left the Civil Service in 1983 and joined Sanders Associates (later a Lockheed Martin company) in New Hampshire first as a Systems Engineer, and progressing as Hardware Manager, Deputy Program Manager, Program Manager, Engineering Manager, and finally Manager of Advanced Programs. I left Sanders in 1991 to join another Lockheed Martin company in Dallas, initially as a Systems Engineer and later a Project Manager on the superconducting magnets for the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL). When the SSCL was terminated, I joined Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and later a division of Ralph M. Parsons, Architects and Engineers for a short time working on the nuclear cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear site. Shortly thereafter, I rejoined another Lockheed Martin company at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), first as an Engineering Fellow and later as the Chief Systems Engineer and Director of Systems Engineering. I left INEL and returned to Lockheed Martin at their Missiles and Fire Control Division in Dallas. During my career, I was fortunate to have worked on many advanced foreign and domestic systems including magneto hydrodynamic power, superconduct...Expand for more
