* Designed five RF test stations, including selection of test enclosures, power supplies, RF test instrumentation, wiring design, as well as physical layout and cooling considerations* Produced documentation for and presented at Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews* Developed test software using LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming* Created Virtual Instruments (VIs) to allow test developers to easily interface with various test equipment, such as Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators, Power Supplies, and RF Switches* Modified/fixed a supplier LabVIEW FPGA program used to program and test the supplier's FPGA card. Delivered software didn't verify completion of data transfers prior to moving on to test, resulting in inconsistent results

Falls Church, Va, Us

* Technical Lead of a team of Software, Systems, and Test Engineers for a safety-critical aircraft system* Planned, assigned, and tracked team member tasking using the Atlassian Tool Suite* Responsible for planning, implementation, and release of new features as well as support and bug fixing released software* Participated in higher-level planning with multiple other subsystem teams and coordination of feature implementation* Coordinated the production and release of deliverable artifacts, such as SVDs, SDDs, and STPs. Took part in the reviews of said documents from other teams and provided feedback

* Developed an Analog Data Acquisition System using multiple PXI Chassis and more than two dozen FPGAs with NI LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and LabVIEW FPGA* RealTime VI provided access to FPGA data via DMA FIFOs, which were made available to TestStand over TCP* Programmed FPGAs to independently sample and process analog inputs prior to pipelining data for transmission to RT* FPGAs were used to continuously monitor analog data from a Unit Under Test and to generate an event whenever specified limits were reached. Limits could be either specific DC voltages or RMS values for AC signals* Produced an RMS approximation function executable by an FPGA that could find AC peaks and produce an RMS value in under 2 microseconds (max sample rate on this application)* Designed to be reconfigurable - used NIMax data to determine installed hardware and a configuration file to assign appropriate FPGA bitfiles based on installed configuration. Allowed the same software to be used for multiple different hardware configurations with no change to the software* Used TestStand to implement Automated Test Procedures to test missile hardware packages

Requirements Analysis and implementation of aircraft hardware in a simulator environment.

Us

Write and maintain software for multiple embedded systems (in both C and C++) used to communicate with automotive networks. Expand product support through research and testing in a constantly changing market. Provide continuing support for customer issues and release targeted fixes directly to affected customers. Write internal tools to assist in troubleshooting, research, and development (in C#). Using wiring diagrams, connect automotive modules together to provide a bench setup identical to the CAN bus in a vehicle.

Expanded current simulation software in C++ to simulate new capabilities. Modified and maintained embedded software for realtime processing in Ada. Used C# to create a realtime information GUI for decoding and displaying information received from external hardware via a serial port. Wrote a parser in C# for CSV formatted files which allowed a user to pull only desired columns from 500mb+ sized files to avoid Microsoft Excel crashes.

Operate, maintain, and repair sonar computer systems and shipboard equipment. Responsibilities included operating sonar equipment to ensure safety of the ship; conducting maintenance, to include safely securing (tagging-out) electrical equipment and power sources; supporting shipboard casualties such as fire or hydraulic bursts; and maintaining the security of the ship by standing armed watches while in port. Also was selected to participate in an exchange program with the Royal Australian Navy in which four USN Sonar Techs were sent on detached duty with the Australians for two years.
