Responsible for design and manufacture of Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) for Moog products. Development of EGSE test systems includes hardware, software, and documentation. A typical Unit Under Test (UUT) includes an embedded Single Board Computer (SBC) which interfaces with custom analog and digital I/O boards for Command & Data Handling (C&DH) in a cPCI form factor. Additionally, Electrical Power System (EPS) boards are included on a custom backplane extension for sub-system power switching and solar array switching/battery charging.· Hardware: Selection of COTS test instruments where practical and design of custom test ‘boxes’ and cabling as required. Test hardware must be capable of verifying all stated capabilities and contractual design requirements for the UUT.· Software: Develop VxWorks test code to run on SBC (C programming language). Create National Instruments LabVIEW VIs for COTS instrument control and monitoring, and User Interface (UI) for UUT command and telemetry. Develop PERL scripts to control execution of VxWorks and LabVIEW code for test automation. Familiarity with VHDL for FPGA programming a plus.· Documentation: Create and maintain assembly, schematic, and parts lists for custom test equipment through the Moog Broad Reach document control system. Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Excel, and Intercept Mozaix are used for design documentation. Formal Integration and Test Plans, Environmental Test Plans and Acceptance Test Procedures (customer deliverables) used to document compliance with all customer and design requirements are the responsibility of the Test Engineer.

On-site contractor through Triple Crown Consulting at L3Harris Technologies Communications Systems segment in Rochester, NY. L3Harris is ending the contract early due to budgetary pressures. Responsible for developing embedded radio software in C++03 targeting General Purpose Processors (GPPs) (network layer) and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) (physical layer) for L3Harris Technologies International radio products. Implemented XML configuration file security using the Mbed-TLS API. Implemented Authentication with digital signatures verified with ECDSA public key cryptopgraphy. Manipulated X.509 certificate creation and exchange of public keys with and without X.509 certificates. Verified XML file integrity using SHA-256 checksums for files without a digital signature. Created and tested bash scripts to perform file packaging and exchange and OpenSSL cryptography and public / private key creation. Validated XML files against XML schema using the libxml2 shared library.

• Embedded Software Engineer in the Electrophotography Systems (EPS) R&D group in Eastman Kodak's Digital Press Technology (DPT) business line.Hired to replace one of two retiring embedded software engineers in April 2022. Product line was discontinued and department was dissolved in December 2022.• Develop and maintain real-time embedded software in C++ for machine control written with UML Composite Structure Diagrams and UML State Diagrams in IBM Rational Rose in a Windows 11 OS for the NexPress, NEXFINITY, and ASCEND digital press product lines.• Upgraded the build server for machine control software builds from Windows XP to Windows 11 after a retiring embedded software engineer told me and my Director that it was impossible to do so.• Updated IBM Rational Rose C++ code to use hexadecimal bit masking to control the operation of five independent Electrophotographic units in any scenario, where a previous conditional statement only controlled their operation in certain conditions which did not cover all use cases resulting in field issues.• Modified XML configuration files to account for new product features. Learned how to read Ruby code in order to properly invoke a CRC checksum routine to protect XML files on our Digital Presses.
