The Outstanding Technical Contribution in Industry Award at the 2019 Women of Color STEM Conference went to Fereshteh Morgan, a Boeing Associate Technical Fellow.
As a distinguished Boeing Associate Technical Fellow, she's earned a prestigious honor that puts her in the top 4 percent of the 60,000 scientists and engineers at Boeing.
Fereshteh Morgan is a software architect at The Boeing Company, and her work has a tremendous impact on the defense of our nation.
She has spent 20 years generating cutting-edge software, technical roadmaps, and new processes to cover more than $1 billion worth of innovative products that are orbiting space, flying in the sky, stationed on the ground, and autonomously roaming our oceans.
Morgan also serves as product manager for the Boeing Satellite Systems’ Protected Tactical Enterprise System (PTES) program, a $383 million, seven-year contract for the United States Air Force that delivers protected communications services to tactical warfighters.
She is responsible for ensuring that the PTES ground station is built using an innovative blend of cloud container technology and Agile methodologies, which marks the first time this process has been included in an Air Force contract.
Her technical innovations include creating a payload software architecture for Boeing’s first commercial Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, defining a Cloud-Native software architecture for the P8-A anti-submarine warfare’s acoustic processing and creating one of the first commercially available 4D geospatial visualization toolkits.
