Summary

Electrical Engineering with professional expertise in electronic

controls development and hardware design. Experience includes systems

integration using real-time simulation with emphasis on mathematical

modeling, algorithm design and analysis, rapid prototyping of analog

and digital systems. Ability to search for appropriate technology for

conducting engineering concept feasibility to address system

requirements and evaluate technology risk to a project.

Experience

1998 - 2011 BAE Systems Inc. Santa Clara, CA

MTS Controls, Simulation and Electrical Engineer

10+ years DoD related real-time simulation project work and leadership

experience in systems integration, rapid prototyping, project

planning, laboratory design and management, budgeting, reporting and

oversight.

Responsible for mathematical modeling, analysis and

hardware-in-the-loop simulation, emulation and stimulation of actual

devices to develop, debug and tune closed loop control of

electro-mechanical sub-systems to test fire control strategies for

Bradley combat vehicles.

Defined, designed, tested and maintained multiple test-beds and

computing environments to facilitate software development, integration

and testing of Bradley Fighting Vehicles tactical software.

Defined and designed power control modules, signal conditioning and

interface boxes, cables and harness designs to integrate with the

hardware-in-the-loop simulation-emulation-stimulation environment.

Worked with other engineering disciplines (systems, mechanical,

electrical and software) to develop, implement, verify control systems

and software interface solutions for the Bradley Combat vehicles.

Evaluated tradeoffs between mechanical, electrical, software and

control systems engineering to obtain acceptable solutions with

minimal risk to schedule, safety and production cost.
