Alexandra Ilic is a Systems Engineer at Raytheon. Colleagues describe her as "I had the pleasure of working with Alex Ilic on a very challenging project that strived to produce the machine equivalent of human touch. At the core of the technology was the analysis of vibrations produced by ultrasensitive biomimetic sensors. Alex played a critical role in the development of complex analytical methodologies and algorithms used to isolate and classify massive vibrational datasets that represented minute, nearly indiscernible differences between surfaces of various objects and materials. Most importantly, Alex took a leadership role in transforming the massive haptics datasets into an exceptionally user friendly database helping customers realize the intrinsic value of the digitized sense of touch. Without Alex and her remarkable mathematical talents, this project would not have been the success that it ultimately became. In addition to her noteworthy mathematical genius, Alex also exhibits a tremendous ability to work in a customer facing role to directly support the sales and education of new clients. Alex often traveled to customer facilities to provide educational seminars on the use of a very complex technology. This often required directly interfacing with teams of engineers, scientists and senior management. Her pleasant and friendly demeanor coupled with superior knowledge of technical detail and processes made her the go-to person for customer support. With her long list of unique capabilities, I highly recommend Alex Ilic to anyone looking for a strong team player that can deliver breakthrough technical results while also being able to competently communicate with every level of the organization.
