Software Engineer III / Systems Engineer III
* Designed and implemented mission specific tracking regimen for multiple optical sensors to effect optimal simultaneous
data collection on reentering objects and space resident objects
* Enhanced and adapted the optical sensor real-time software and DCL command procedures to accommodate evolving missions;
compiled, built and installed the real-time application on DEC Alpha and SGI O2 computers
* Generated and distributed the Alpha real-time scripting programs to support missions; these scripts were responsible for
coordinating the data collection activities among multiple camera and recording systems
* Created specific procedures for each reentry and space track mission to ensure optimal data collection. Calculated
fixed camera look angles and optical tracking sensor horizon break angles for each mission to prevent unwanted mount
slewing during reentry vehicle acquisition; generated mission decks and distributed to the Alpha computers to provide a
reliable backup tracking contingency
* Performed mission data analysis to ensure compliance with requirements. Discovered, documented and reported Telemetry
TBSP data anomalies resulting in more accurate directing data to the optical sensors
* Wrote and updated documentation associated with the real-time optical software systems
* Performed System Admin tasks as required for both the OpenVMS and UNIX operating systems; developed disc cloning, backup
and cleansing procedures to ensure the security and integrity of both the applications and data
