Accountable for system architecture design including: risk/opportunity matrix holder, burndown plans, solutioning within the lab environment.

Lead projects using 6U openVPX architecture, system integration, system test, and customer training to provide the customer with understanding and the training necessary to manipulate the system for their own use. Systems OS: Linux Red Hat, Timesys Linux, and VxWorksDesigned and shipped system with a team based on customer requirements. Product taken from customer requirements through system design, board design and DVT, system integration, system test, train and support customer on system specifics, hand off system acceptance test to manufacturing for future units, provide help to customer support when a question arises.Delivered quality processing systems in short time after working extra hours with customer in house. Traveled to customer location on short notice to help train them on system. System contained an i7 processor board running Fedora Linux and a Nvidia GPU MXM with Cuda. Resolved intermittent booting failure with system in the field. Created test stand in lab to simulate field system.
