Dennis Lee, 29, an engineer at Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems in El Segundo, was recognized as a rising star in engineering by the National Engineers Week Foundation.
His accomplishments as a South Bay Engineer place him among 14 "New Faces of Engineering", selected from hundreds of candidates across the country by the National Engineers Week Foundation.
This is the second year in a row that Raytheon's SAS has had an engineer receive top honors in this field.
Lee's work is credited with saving the lives of US troops and our allies. Lee directs a team at Raytheon SAS responsible for developing real-time imaging systems for unmanned military surveillance aircraft.
"It is an honor to be recognized by my peers for my achievements, and I hope my success will set an example for young people as to how an academic focus on math and science can lead to great things." Lee said in a statement.
