John S. Patrick Email & Phone Number

I have over 20 years of experience in engineering, engineering management, and proposals in the avionics field.My engineering experience covers both hardware (digital and analog) and software design on a variety of 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors, with software design on large-scale custom real-time embedded operating systems, as well as small, special-purpose custom embedded software. I have strong skills in laboratory settings using standard test equipment for hardware/software integration and test (oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, protocol analyzers, and logic analyzers). I have extensive experience in low power, wide temperature range, and small physical size embedded hardware design, and a high level of proficiency in C as well as assembler for multiple architectures.In my career, I have had substantial experience as Project Engineer and Engineering Manager leading multi-discipline teams for both development and sustainment programs, product line management, technical point-of-contact, and customer interaction.I have been involved in projects through-out the entire extended lifecycle, including lead proposal efforts for military avionics bids to all major domestic airframe and platform OEMs, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Atomics, and including international companies Saab, Dassault, Leonardo, Airbus, AIDC, HAL, and Merlinhawk, all with a proposal capture rate of over 70%.I am experienced in hardware and software design of many processors, including 80x51, 68HCxx, multiple PIC, x86 (Real and Protected Modes), Z8000, NIOS-II, Cypress PSoC, and variants, and knowledgeable in communication protocols RS-232, RS-422/485, ARINC 429, ARINC 573/717, MIL-STD-1553B (BC/RT/BM), I2C, SPI, and most other serial protocols. I have experience in design and testing to meet critical environmental requirements to DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, and MIL-STD-461.

Listed skills include Embedded Software, Electrical Engineering, Analog Circuit Design, Digital Circuit Design, and 31 others.
