PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Magna Lowell, MA December 2018 – present

Principal Software System Engineer

Contributed to industry leading radar systems development, that provide a variety of active safety features, which are essential to the advancement of autonomous driving and occupant protection.

• Significantly enhanced multi-sensor ADAS capability by engineering a distributed fusion tracking system on Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms as well as Magna proprietary central computing platform, contributing to the advancement of autonomous driving technologies.

• Provided technical support to product demos and Consumer Electronics Show, including software build, installation instruction and configuration, data analysis and error diagnose, system trouble shooting.

• Engaged in collaborations in an international teamwork environment, including weekly online sync up with French, Germany and Indian teams, regular online conversation, as well as international business travel.

• Built desktop test benches for multiple generations of radar sensor software bench tests, largely facilitated real-time sensor software performance monitoring, benchmarking and quick assertion diagnosis.

• Built matlab to automate the process from perform sensor software benchmark test, data processing to PowerPoint reports generation. Greatly increased the efficiency and reduces the time of quality control of the software engineering releases.

• Reduced unit test design time by automating software unit test case generation, improving overall software reliability.

MITRE Corp. Bedford, MA July 2010 – November 2018

Lead Software System Engineer

Made contributions to US Air Force acquisition programs as well as DARPA R&D programs. Two Director Awards and multiple Sparc Awards.

• Rapidly developed software for critical DARPA System of Systems Integration Technology and Experimentation program. Enabled systems to interact during time critical, high pressure large-scale integration events and flight tests. Received highly complementary feedback from the DARPA Program Manager and was honored with the MITRE Director Award.

• Developed and leveraged a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach and built the Government Reference Architecture, for USAF Next-Generation Radar System acquisition program, as well as USAF Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System acquisition program. The sponsor got deeper understanding of the system behavior and requirements and cost of the capabilities.

• Developed the software implementation of the model using SysML, IBM Rhapsody and Java programming, provided automation support so the sponsor can rapidly and accurately assess the engineering products from competing contractors, helped the successful competing of System Requirements Reviews, System Functional Reviews and Preliminary Design Reviews for each contractor in short time.

• Developed Presidential National Voice Conferencing Tool for Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of- Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Program, enabled the contractor to monitor and diagnose key components of the FAB-T system. Conducted software complexity analysis and performance reviews of the contractor's software deliverables, provided enhancement recommendations. Offered advisory suggestions to promote best practices in software development operations. Received the MITRE Spot Award.

Veracode, Burlington MA November 2009 – July 2010

Senior Software Engineer

Developed large scale Application Risk Management Platform for binary executables and web site risk and vulnerability analysis. Responsible for on-site technical support of a classified production instance of the Veracode static binary application security analysis engine

• C++ development in Windows platform, enhanced the data flow analysis functionality in the engine module of the system.

• Improved the syntax of the intermediate representation for security vulnerability scan.

• Processing of all static binary analysis jobs on the production platform and service, quickly resolved technical problems of the clients to guarantee high quality and timely delivery of the services. BAE Systems, Burlington MA March 2004 September 2009 Sr. Software Engineer

Deliver a full range of products and services for air, land and naval forces, as well as advanced electronics, security, information technology solutions and customer support services.

• Collaborated with research engineers to design, implement, validate, and refine the Network Coding Semi-Reliable Transport Protocol, as well as a congestion control algorithm, to minimize bandwidth usage and efficiently transmit real-time application data over a wireless mobile ad-hoc network for DoD CBMANET program. Received BAE Chairman Award. US Patent 9209943B1 granted.

• Build the next-generation tactical wireless network on Linux and a small size, weight and power

(SWaP) military embedded system hardware, optimized network traffic flow, reducing the software complexity and eliminating performance bottlenecks.

• Led a major re-engineering effort for a large-scale Sensor Resource Management Simulation Environment on Linux using C++ and the Standard Template Library (STL), to improve efficiency and support multiple DoD Target search and tracking technology programs.

• Collaborated with math teammates to discuss, prototype, implement, and test new sensor resource management algorithms. Co-authored a paper for the 12th International Conference on Information Fusion and presented it at SPIE 2006.
