Theoretical and practical knowledge of formal software development processes, software project management practices such as RTCA/DO-178B, Agile Software development (SCRUM) and Critical Chain.

Extensive integration experience with diverse avionics sensors, navigation, guidance and simulation systems.

Proven efficient problem solver with challenging software issues in the area of data processing, embedded avionics software and hardware integration. EXPERIENCE

BOMBARDIER AEROSPACE, Montreal, Quebec 2013 – Present Test Preparation Lead (C-series and Global 7000 ISTCR)

Develop software data management solutions for all test rig data acquisition systems: real time data monitoring, data recording and post-test data processing.

Perform all DASs and software tools validation for certification testing and write technical reports

Write test procedures and test cards for on rig testing.

Manage online data request system for test rig clients. ESTERLINE CMC ELECTRONICS, Montreal, Quebec 1997 – 2012 Senior Flight Management System (FMS) Engineer (2007 – 2012)

Solve technical issues originated from various test sources: airborne flight tests, on ground system tests on full motion simulators and customer field tests in radio systems, sensor interfaces, control display units (CDU), lateral and vertical flight planning, and guidance subsystems.

Provide timely software work estimates to Product Manager for new project bids.

Plan and deliver FMS software fixes within the Agile software development SCRUM framework (i.e. with emphasis on light weight development plan – requirement management, design, code, test, peer reviews and traceability according to RTCA/DO-178B document with software release within a short development iteration cycle).

Provide key support to other projects within the FMS department in the expertise areas: radio system

(e.g. transponders, VHFs, VUHFs), navigation sensors interfaces (e.g. GPS, Inertial, hybrid GPS and Inertial sensor), navigation systems, sensor integrity monitoring and sensor simulation for testing (e.g. VOR/DME, DME/DME, and embedded GPS/INS system).
