My time at Raytheon was spent becoming comfortable navigating large and complex software systems used for missile simulation and missile testing. Matlab and Perl in a Linux environment were the tools I used to perform numerous code fixes, data analysis, and process improvements that allowed for a 150 man-hour savings per year.
