Lead, coach, and develop a team of systems engineers in complex avionics development, including design, test, and certification activities.

Working as DO-178B certification lead for Pro Line 4, 21, and Fusion programs.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa Area

Primary avionics network integrator for AFDX networks. Designing, implementing, and troubleshooting network interfaces for business and regional jets. Some responsibilities include troubleshooting any issues that may present in test and integration to categorize root cause (network or software), and resolving any network-driven issues. As an I/O focal, I also work daily with the aircraft systems team and change control boards verifying that build planning is in alignment with program and certification schedules, identifying dependencies, and ensuring that work is being planned appropriately. I am also acting as the DO-178B certification lead for the IMA software development lifecycle on some of the projects I support.

• Acted as team lead. Assigned work and managed priorities for team members, re-prioritized critical issues as deadlines shifted for multiple customer schedules, and transitioned quickly between different tasks and programs to support all activities.• Managed Input/Output Common Format process in ADE (Avionics Data Environment - a company-proprietary object-oriented database & user interface designed to model physical and logical interconnect for ARINC-429 and Ethernet communications). • Mentored subsystem engineers in capturing I/O data accurately, provided training on tools, ensured data quality and consistency between system and subsystem I/O requirements• Coordinated communication between systems & their subsystems, and within domains across multiple programs. • Wrote guidelines for modeling logical I/O, which required familiarity with protocols such as ARINC-429, ARINC-664, and ARINC-653. • Developed new methods & efficient processes to model data and create a leaner environment. Developed common procedures and ensured common processes were followed between multiple programs.• Documented systems interface standards and data capture best practices. • Integrated avionics data for Systems, supporting Proline Fusion, Proline 21 & Proline 4 architectures, working many programs in the same timeframe. Wrote MS Access queries to view and update data in both relational and object-oriented databases.• Identified and captured requirements for tool development based on customer usage and requirements, coordinating between internal customers and tool developers. Supported technical questions and helped troubleshoot data communication issues.• Supported and maintained Proline Data Dictionary tool (MS Access front-end to SQL database), which required modification to VBA code and user interface as well as application testing and deployment.

Rockwell Collins, Cedar RapidsEnterprise Service DeskProvided technical support to Rockwell Collins employees worldwide. Supported various software applications and hardware. Supported critical issues by contacting the appropriate teams for immediate support.

Provided technical support to solve problems with industrial electronic equipment: primarily Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLCs), variable-frequency drives, visualization products such as PanelViews and VersaView industrial computers, barcode scanners, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), and communication devices. Worked with RS-422 and RS-232 protocols. Acted as the sole software specialist in the tech support department, supporting the programming software for many of the devices.My accomplishments include:•Supporting Rockwell Software products and teaching classes for customers to use the programming software for visualization products as well as ladder-logic programming as needed for RSView software instruction. •I was the primary point of contact for any software issues within the Technical Support Center.•Taught myself Visual Basic .NET to complete a project interfacing RFID scanners with their existing equipment. Project included design and coding from the requirements given by the customer through testing integration and providing demonstrations for the customer.
