Ron Williamson

Dr. Ron Williamson is a Principal Engineering Fellow at Raytheon, focused on model-based systems engineering and architecture for advanced C4I systems in DoD, International, FAA, and civil domains. With over 30 years of experience, he's led MBSE standards work for Unified Profile for DoDAF, MODAF, and SysML v2, and is a recognized subject matter expert for systems engineering. He served as the architecture and design director within the Communications and Transportation Systems Engineering Center and represented the California Region as a member of the Architecture Review Board, supporting Raytheon’s strategy to govern architecture deployment on programs and to train the next generation of resilient-systems architects. He also served as the MSI (Mission Systems Integration) Technology Area Director, where he led the initial concept development of the model based engineering initiatives for all of Raytheon.

Ron has expertise in systems and software architecting, engineering, design, and implementation across the full systems lifecycle, including concept development, customer interaction, proposal development, requirements analysis, systems architecture and design, software architecture/design and integration, verification and validation. He has worked across several domains including DoD air/space sensing, DoD logistics simulation and modeling, DoD command and control, DoD energy surety, NASA earth science, NASA space exploration, FAA flight simulation and modeling, international customer C4I systems, commercial wireless communications, and mobile applications development.

Ron received his PhD in Computer Science at USC, Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics from UCLA, and Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from UCLA.
