Jim Schillawski Email & Phone Number

I am an engineering manager and software developer with a proven ability to lead cross-functional, cross-departmental, multi-disciplinary, international teams. I am a hands-on leader throughout the system development lifecycle: requirements definition, design, implementation, test, delivery, support and end of life. I have over 20 years of experience at building integrated software and hardware systems on Linux and UNIX platforms, especially device drivers for computer-controlled electronic instrumentation. This enables me to break-through system development road-blocks and deliver high-performing products.I provide results-focused technical management. I thoroughly understand the technical solution, the user requirements and use cases, making sure that design choices are made with both in mind. In planning and execution, I assure that risk is addressed early, that foundations are solidly built and that interlinking needs of the project team are met earlier instead of later. One part of the engineering team cannot succeed without the success of all parts. I get things done without trashing a process, neither do I permit process to overburden project execution.I work with your entire team eliciting from each participant what they need to get their job done and making sure they have it. I treat all team members as a colleagues, no matter where located.Led development groups through complex technology and product transitions.Led the software engineering group through several complete product life-cycles.Developed a multi-threaded digital signal processing environment providing easy parallel programming.Managed customer transitions between incompatible product lines.Managed development groups spread across domestic and global sites including Japan and India.Specialties: Product DefinitionSystem VerificationVendor ManagementControl SoftwareProject PlanningHardware/Software IntegrationSoftware developmentSystem performance verification
