Engineer Software
Resume:
Sherri Jackson
|Resourceful, dedicated, results-oriented senior software engineer with the |
|ability to learn quickly and apply new ideas seeking to accept responsibility |
|either as a leader or a team member. 30+ years of experience in software |
|development from proposal writing, requirements analysis, design, code, test, |
|to delivery and field service. |
|Clearance |Secret - Active |
|Skills |C, Unix/Linux, ssh, ClearCase, ClearQuest, CORBA, Visio, VxWorks, |
| |RedHat, bash scripts, Microsoft Office products, FORTRAN, VAX/VMS, |
| |Assembly Language, Peer Review |
|Experience|2004-2012 |
| |Northrop Grumman |
| |Embedded Software Engineer Level 4 |
| |Wrote additional 4000 lines of code for the existing Joint STARS |
| |program Health and BIT system to incorporate new hardware. Wrote |
| |software to emulate hardware failures for operator training. |
| |Participated in numerous Peer Reviews as Moderator, Author, or |
| |Reviewer. |
| |Wrote application and database management code to control the |
| |Quality of Service parameters for new datalink and to allow the |
| |ground station access to the Joint STARS Beyond Line of Site (BLOS)|
| |network. Also wrote bash scripts to change configuration |
| |parameters, extract device status, and capture and cleanup logs |
| |from the various components of the BLOS network. This network added|
| |email and internet access to the Joint STARS platform. |
| |Implemented Technical Change Network Orders (TCNOs) for Windows and|
| |Red Hat operating systems in the BLOS network - patch installation |
| |and anti-virus updates. Traveled to customer site to install |
| |updates. |
| |Solved legacy software problems and implemented upgrades for the |
| |maintenance Joint STARS program. |
| |Wrote 3000 lines of code in 3 months for a data insertion, |
| |analysis, and capture tool for a successful radar detection and |
| |identification demonstration mission for the Joint STARS program. |
| |Designed and wrote 15000 lines of application code to manage the |
| |handover of data from one Joint STARS plane to another. This |
| |involved sending and receiving a series of JTIDS messages between |
| |planes with operator input. Guided four software engineers in this |
| |task. |
| |Designed and wrote 13000 lines of code to implement complex system |
| |level filter algorithms to block the display of the various |
| |entities (points, multipoint lines, areas of regular and irregular |
| |shapes). The filters can be multipoint lines, circles, ellipses, |
| |rectangles, or irregular shapes and the block can be on one side of|
| |a line, or inside/outside a shape. Periodically each entity in the|
| |system is compared to each filter and determined to be blocked from|
| |display or not. Filters can be created, modified, turned on/off, |
| |and deleted. Some of the entities move. |
| |2001-2004 |
| |Mnemonics, Inc. |
| |Senior Staff Software Engineer |
| |Designed, wrote, and tested Tactical Information Broadcast Service |
| |(TIBS) message processing software for a Software-Defined Radio |
| |program. This software allowed the radio to be a receiver, a data |
| |provider, or a master controller. Traveled to DET2 in Texas for |
| |precertification testing. Led team of six software engineers. |
| |Coded, tested, and integrated SATCOM Control Software for the |
| |Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) waveforms for Digital |
| |Modular Radio program. Rewrote the existing ranging algorithm to |
| |increase accuracy and efficiency. |
|Experience|1991-2000 |
| |Northrop Grumman |

| |Surveillance and Control Datalink (SCDL) Uplink and Downlink |
| |Managers; Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Message Encoding; and |
| |Voice Communication Management Background Function Controller for |
| |the Joint STARS Surveillance Plane development, upgrade, and |
| |maintenance programs. |
| |Wrote and resolved Software Trouble Reports for all areas of Joint |
| |STARS. |
| |1986-1989 |
| |Harris GCSD |
| |Lead Engineer of Software |
| |Performed Requirements Analysis and Preliminary Design of utility |
| |and relational database software for the Voice Switching & Air |
| |Traffic Control System for the Federal Aviation Administration. |

| |Performed Design, Code, and Test of Data Base Generator, Data Base |
| |Editor, and Event Processor software in a monitoring and control |
| |system for nuclear power plants. Project Leader of six for Data |
| |Base Executive Unit and miscellaneous custom man-machine interface |
| |software. |
| |1980-1984 |
| |Harris GASD |
| |Senior Engineer |
| |Performed Design, Code, Test, and Integration of Automatic Flight |
| |Control, Communications, Built-in-Test/Redundancy Management, and |
| |Navigation Subsystems for a fully automated attack helicopter. |
| |Also wrote test programs to determine the accuracy of the |
| |implementation of the Doppler navigation formulas. |
