PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

DRS RSTA INC, Melbourne, FL

Software Engineer, Software Analyst

Analyzed Multitasking OOP ADA code embedded in Laser Guided Missile Target System. This was a multithreaded system, event driven, rendezvous, mailboxes, interrupts, and shared memory.

Wrote Visual Basic and National Instruments LabView source code embedded in Automatic Test Stations for Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI), Second Generation Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS), Driver’s Vision Enhancer (DVE), and Mass Mounted Sights system (MMS).

DUKES INC., Northridge, CA

Contractor Software Engineer

Designed the software and hardware for a Cabin Pressure Controller System. The software was developed in embedded C. The software development cycle was according to RTCA DO-178B. The Hardware of the Cabin Pressure System was tested according to RTCA-DO-160D.

Smiths Industries, Malvern, PA

Software Manager

Managed resources to successfully complete software design of Engine Instruments Display Set on the JPATS Program.

KOLLSMAN INC., Merrimack, NH

Electrical Engineer

Designed hardware with embedded software for Air Data Computers, Airspeed, Altimeter, Mach, Altitude Alerter, and Cabin Pressure Controller for various Corporate Jets Aircraft.

Designed a complete set of 6 engine instruments for the Piaggio Avante P180. The set included: Tachometer, Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure, Oil temperature, Fuel Quantity, and Engine Pressure Ratio.

Designed a Fuel Flow Indicator for the Boeing 727 and Boeing 737. This new instrument saved UPS thousands of dollars in fuel consumption.

The software cycle was developed according to RTCA DO-178B and the hardware was tested according to RTCA-DO-160D.
