SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

I am a multitalented and skilled independent test contractor and consultant. I easily adapt to your way of doing things on a project to project basis. I meet schedules and save projects that are in trouble. I have an extensive track record of completing work that has not been correctly done or which requires innovative and expedient solutions. I also can find ways to pre–plan and prevent any of your programs and projects from getting behind the power curve toward completion and profitability. I’ve debugged and adjusted test systems as a technical representative and have written software to test and diagnose production/ functional failures in them at the factory. Additionally, I have an expertise in developing tests and operating all manner of serial communication equipment from specialized test equipment to redundant military and spacecraft buses. This includes everything from DC levels up to RF as well as Electro–Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) systems/devices. Buses used or tested include: MIL–STD, 1553, Modbus, Zigbee, TCP/IP, high–speed fiber optic and WiFi. All of this can be done for your company on a contracted and cost effective basis. Worked to J-STD-16, MIL–STD–458, DO-178B, DO-254, CMM(1-5) standards and in ISO 9001/Agile environments.

EMPLOYMENT and CONTRACT HISTORY

Recent Contract Assignments

At Elbit-America, Fort Worth, Texas March, 2021 to Feb, 2023

Senior Test Software Engineer for UVPA LRU:

Reviewed LMSTAR TPS Code for Aligning Ultra High Very High Frequency Power Amplifier (UVPA) UUT of the F-35 Aircraft.

Rewrote TestStand and LabWindows/CVI code to decrease alignment run-times to improve depot level throughput of UUTs after repair and replace (R/R) actions.

Altered Nested While loops/Wait states and operational parameters preventing TPS efficiency.

Worked Remotely and On Site. Remote work involved modifying code and conducting procedural analysis using code simulation and debug. On-site work included verification and validation of alignment code using golden UVPA UUTs and LMSTAR. Documentation was difficult to get and often questions being asked were answered by experience and experimentation. We reduced alignment TPS run-times by 2 hours. This was primarily accomplished by “de-keying” the transmitter UUT into a reduced standby state which avoided heat buildup during transmit cycles, resulting in extended waits for cooling. I also identified deficiencies in how cooling/chillers supplied cooling to the test fixture. I recommended producing test documents for operation and maintenance to keep test equipment in top condition.

Stayed on the Job to Complete (long term customer loyalty)

Designed and developed an Interactive Factory Tester and User Interface using National Instruments (NI) PXI/DAQmx test instrumentation, California Instruments, Sorensen and Agilent GPIB devices, and LabView software for testing the Power Control Module (PCM) for a Williams manufactured jet engine. The tester rack and overall test system was designed around an NI PXI–8115 Controller and various DAQmx modules. IEEE 488, 2 interfaces were used for monitoring a bevy of transducer signals, frequencies, duty cycles, power sources and to synchronize an Agilent 33210A AWG providing gated pulse signals and DAQmx/DIO for stepped load applications up to 5 KW. Company designed custom hardware was also used in the test interfacing and engine simulations. All Virtual Instrument (VI) functions required for the test program were developed to provide UUT Functional Testing, HALT and HASS Testing, as well as Acceptance Testing (ATP). The test program controlled a 3 Phase Power supply to emulate the jet engine’s generators and used a custom simulator box to provide Fuel Pump signals.

Simulation software was written in functional modules to allow pretesting of concepts and designs and was used to check out test modules and operator interface (OI) features. Particular attention was paid to facilitating Test Operator use and observation along with also providing “hands off” simultaneous testing for up to 4 PCM units in a Thermotron Environmental Chamber providing temperature and vibration stressing while functional testing was being performed. The OI was designed and developed as a state machine to allow for status monitoring and the use of interrupt driven capabilities for multiple UUT testing. Fully interactive test logging and popup interfaces were also incorporated into the finished test system to link test results to the company Safari data logging system and associated databases.

Test Software versions that were developed allowed for fully interactive HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) that was used to produce test software and parameters to be used in HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screen) Testing. The entire software suite involved coordinating test electrical parameters (mainly power and duty cycle applications) with test chamber vibrational acceleration (G forces) and concurrent temperature conditions (degrees C). Up to four UUTs could be tested simultaneously with this software (within the limits of the available hardware stimulus and measurement equipment that was available). The entire testing cycle was available as a combination test to include: Functional Test, HALT, HASS, EEC/Electrical Tests and ATP. Each type of test had its own unique limits and parameter files for customization as well as high–speed (TDMS) logging and MS–EXCEL spreadsheet datapoint logging of test results. Production testing in a design and development environment.

Prior Experience and Success

Lockheed Martin 09/2004 – 06/2005

TPS Engineer (SECRET). Contracted to Lockheed Martin, Inc. Orlando, Florida as a technical services consultant. Performed Test Program Set (TPS) software development and integration for ALQ-162 Electronic Warfare Weapons System and Receiver/Transmitter. Picked up and completed an existing TPS that had numerous schedule and programming problems with its completion (stemming from a lack of available documentation, personnel problems and the overall unit complexity). Rehosted existing assembler-like script code from a special purpose Northrop Grumman test system to the CASS/ATLAS test station, I was able to get the TPS back on track and schedule. The WRA was a wide band receiver/transmitter that is digitally controlled through discrete, MIL-STD 1553 and RS422 interfaces and operates in the gigahertz region. Work was done in a secure lab as the unit is classified at the secret level. Modified code in ATLAS and L200 to synchronize unit tuning and test.
