-Embedded S/W Engineer: Contractor for a manufacturer of

diagnostic scan tools.

* Enhanced the protocol handler(s), for an embedded system

running a 32 bit PXA-270 processor with a J1850 FPGA,

running under linux(2.6.24). Development environment was

Linux, -C-, Java Netbeans 6.91 IDE, GNU GCC (4.21), GDB.

Debugging often with h/w and s/w bus monitors and scopes at

customer sites and lab.

-S/W Test Engineer for CDR (Crash Data Retrieval) group

responsible for black and white box testing analysis and

support of unit tests, system tests, download tests,

validations, regression tests and final reports.

* Curtis Wright System - I was responsible for writing S/W

for a Curtiss Wright (CW) based embedded Linux system

controlling NOVA`s LVASI (InSb) 1024x1024 camera. The

-system-, consisted of the LVASI camera with its internal

XILINX FPGA connected both via USB and a SCSI-3 parallel

interface to the CW system. It includes the DSP single

board computer (running Linux) with an Alpha Data FPGA

Mezzanine board (PMC) mounted to it, a VME single board

computer (running Windows) and an I/O interface board for

connecting the camera and optionally an external frame

grabber. The high level S/W runs on the Linux SBC, with

an Ethernet server running on the Win SBC.

* USB Controlled Systems - I enhanced our Linux based VASI

visible and MWIR camera control S/W. Supported various

specialized on chip windowing, sub-windowing and back-

ground resolution manipulating features to achieve high

frame rates required. Also worked on a -hot spot- auto-

tracker feature and a specialized proprietary AGC

algorithm that enhanced the FPA performance by

optimizing the FPA`s unit cell`s well fill.

Experiences included being sole in-house S/W person

responsible for GUI control for two newly designed cameras

from requirement gathering to delivery. Host S/W interfaced

via CameraLink and supported basic camera, configuration

and calibration controls for both cryo cooled and TE cooled

FPAs along with various Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC)

schemes. Trained and installed at one site.
