EXPERIENCE:

Confidential
Software Engineer 11/09- Present (Contract)
Real time software development and testing for the B1-B Flight simulator.

Confidential
Software Engineer 3/05 - 9/09 (Contract)
Real time software development and testing for the F/A-18 Avionics flight simulators.

Confidential
Software Engineer 8/02 - 3/05 (Contract)
Real time embedded software development and testing for an integrated Avionics threat warning and RF countermeasures command and control system. Software development is in Ada 83/95.

Confidential
Software Engineer 1/00 - 1/02 (Contract)
DSP software development, hardware unit and integration testing for Confidential next generation cellular GSM baseband transceiver. Software development involved low-level control of RF hardware, analysis and troubleshooting of RF interfaces, and testing and verification of various transceiver components.
Additional work involved microcontroller software development for controlling and monitoring of system temperature sensors, cooling fans, and various external system interfaces. Development was on the Lucent 16410, i960, and 8051 processor platforms. Software was in C and DSP 16410 assembler.

Confidential
Software Engineer 7/99 - 1/00 (Contract)
Embedded software test, development, and Y2K upgrade of Confidential automated toll system equipment. Work involved hardware\\software testing, troubleshooting, and upgrade of embedded road side toll readers for controland configuration of RF tag sensor antennas, and system communication modems. Software development was in C/C+ running under MS-DOS on an Intel 486 processor platform.

Confidential
Software Engineer 1/98- 7/99 (Contract)
Real-time embedded software development, testing, and troubleshooting for the F-117 avionics precision guided weapon system. Work involved extensive Built in Self test (BIT) software development of system hardware including processors, on board peripheral hardware, and hands on testing of actual aircraft components, that included the F-117 system control panels, displays, and FLIR and DLIR laser and IR sensors. Application software was a multithreaded application in ADA running on a 68040 and multi-core TMS320C40 processor platform. Sensor control and interface hardware consisted of a variety of off-the-shelf VME control modules.

Confidential
Software Engineer 7/97- 12/97 (Contract)
Real-time embedded test software development for the Hubble Space Telescope upgrade computer (HST486). The purpose of test software was to verify and validate HST486 hardware design under the environmental stresses of space. Test software verified proper functionality of on board processors, peripherals, and hardware interfaces under a variety of stress test scenarios.

Confidential
Software Technical Lead 5/96- 7/97
Responsibilities involved requirements analysis, software and hardware system development and testing for Confidential. Confidential is a GPS based air traffic control, research and development prototype for the FAA’s commercial aircraft Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Software development involved multithreaded, real-time, C/C++ development on a UNIX hosted DEC Alpha for command, control, and transmission of GPS satellite data over a WAN. Project development under DO-178b\\Mil-2167.

Confidential , Defense Electronics Division
Senior System Software Engineer 10/94- 5/96
Primary work involved Full-life cycle software development and testing for an F-14 avionics navigational and electronic counter measures command, control, and display system. This involved extensive on-site development and hands on troubleshooting of the actual avionics hardware and software. Significant development and troubleshooting was performed on-site on the F-14 aircraft and involved frequent interfacing with flight test pilots and systems engineers. Software development was in ADA and hosted on an i960 and 1750 processor platforms. Also was responsible for conducting the systems on-site formal qualification testing.

Confidential, Physical Acoustics Division
System Software Engineer 11/89- 8/94
Responsible for the design, testing, maintenance, and development of hardware and software in support of 3 underwater acoustic research facilities. Research focus was on the characterization, control, and cancellation, of sonar echo data from submarines and various underwater structures. Software and hardware development involved the design of underwater automated data acquisition systems that consisted of precision robotic target positioning, acoustic signal data acquisition, and automated control of various sonar sensors and actuators. Application development was primarily in FORTRAN running under VAX\\VMS.

Confidential
System Engineer 8/87- 11/89
Responsibilities included system analysis feasibility studies and engineering change proposals for backfit and upgrade of a variety of shipboard Naval combat system equipment including the Aegis Fire Control system on the Destroyer class and various other combat systems on Frigate class ships.
