*** *********, ****** ****, ** 87047 acsmlh@r.postjobfree.com I am an Embedded Systems Engineer, ready to join a winning team and Leading Product.

QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

I am an Embedded Mission-Critical Systems Engineer, with several decades of education and experience. I do:

Design of systems, protocols, test beds

Low-level drivers

Board bring-up (a favorite)

Maintenance and enhancement of existing code

Configuration management

Test Beds for both Development and Production

Systems with RTOS’s and bare metal (RTOS type or Metal in technology description)

Board Support Packages

Tool creation

I care about:

Processes (INCOSE by default)

Appropriate Documentation

Clean System Architecture leading to Simple Coding practices with Clear Comments

Good tools, including bug trackers, source control, and automatic static source checking

Lack of ego. I want the team’s ego in the result, not the process. I know:

A variety of languages, including decades of C experience

The whole Product Life Cycle: from requirements to software, hardware, manufacturing, field service

Many different microcontrollers

Computer Science theory, including operating systems, data structures, and state machines

How to “cross the silos” and work with EE’s because I understand how hardware works

How to read schematics and use oscilloscopes (I own one)

Good methods for prototyping

My clients and employers have ranged from very small to very large. I fit well into teams, and providing leadership when asked. I can also work independently when requested; I periodically report progress and needs until finished with the task.

I keep a project logbook to document the process and keep organized. I also keep a daily activity log.
