He brings into the role over three decades of experience in management and leadership. He is responsible for setting the growth strategy for the engineering account, identifying areas for research and solution development and collaborating with the other units of the organization. 

Before joining the company in February 2020, Goldstein served as the chief strategy and technology officer at ENSCO, and as a corporate chief technologist and manager at Dynetics. He was previously a senior vice president and general manager at QinetiQ, and took on leadership positions at SAIC earlier in his career.

In addition, Goldstein is tasked with helping the undersecretary in executing decisions of the president and Congress, as well as meeting the combatant commanders’ present and future operational requirements.

He has made major contributions to the areas of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and communications systems. During his 39 years of military service, he received 15 Air Force Scientific Achievement Awards for his work. 

Goldstein has written over 100 technical publications and holds four U.S. patents in spread spectrum communications, advanced sensor data compression, ISR and adaptive processing for signal detection.

He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at George Mason University before receiving his doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California.
