William Norton Email & Phone Number

- Mentors a cross-functional team of four junior engineers (software and systems).- Created BroadSword, a GNSS EW software payload that has been combat-validated in theatre.- Invented a SDR-based radio system deployed in hundreds of clocks in the United States Capitol. By leveraging a custom GNURadio block, a $30 RTL-SDR replaced $900 purpose-built DMR radios generating a profit of roughly $2 million on a contract from the Architect of the Capitol. (GNURadio, C++, Linux)- Lead developer in GNSS simulation (yocto, Qt, C++, NVIDIA CUDA, SDR, Python, cryptography)- Lead developer on M-Code GNSS encryption suite of products, implementing military GNSS encryption schemes that run at 1000 hz at low latency (<5 ms). Millions in profit are generated around this product line.- Built and deployed a web licensing portal (Django, AWS, Docker, LetsEncrypt, Kubernetes)- Provides on-site support at five field test events, including classified labs at customer locations, to provide solutions and expertise in real-time.- Manages technical cooperation with an international partner (ST4D, Canada) on high-performance simulation software. This includes software exports and roadmap planning with the software team in Montreal.

- Acquired domain knowledge, rapidly becoming an expert in the field of GNSS technology and NAVWAR.- Improved performance of our real-time GNSS simulations to reduce system latency from hundreds of milliseconds to <5 ms, creating market leading performance. (C++, Qt, NVIDIA CUDA, SDR)- Implemented novel GNSS spoofing-detection algorithms on embedded, desktop, and scripting platforms.- Lead developer on PANACEA (C#, NHibernate, SQLite, Python) product suite, a GNSS receiver testing product in which hundreds of GNSS receivers are integrated into a common testing framework. This involves reviewing and critiquing pull requests from off-site contractors. This product is included in a $23.9 million contract.- Integrated GNSS receivers into PANACEA (C#, hardware integration, serial protocols)- Implemented GNSS spoofing and jamming detection algorithms on embedded device (BroadSense Nano, C++, atmega328pb)- Reverse engineered serial binary protocols for GNSS receivers, enabling use of undocumented features including satellite orbit database backups and a spectrum analyzer.- Member of a start-up sized team (Talen-X: four engineers, CEO, sales) acquired by Orolia D&S (2019), again by Safran (2022)- Patented a novel application performing custom military cryptography on a cryptographically-secure smart card microcontroller. The application protects critical secrets from potentially adversarial host systems. (Patent 11,757,646)

- Designed, built, and released Panorama, a data visualization tool now ubiquitous in its field. (C#)- Redesigned components of the PANACEA software suite to improve user experience, as well as maintainability and project health. (C#, SQLite, NHibernate)

Ames, Ia

- Developed features for display units at the head of agricultural automation product line. (C++, Qt)- Lead developer of sophisticated in-house automated testing system VAT (Squish, Python, VMs, Jenkins) simulating thousands of button presses, built into the CI process.- Led a team of full-time engineers across multiple teams to spread knowledge, update, and define organizational responsibilities to successfully ensure continuity of the automated test system.

- Upgraded and administrated a compute cluster for astrophysics research, includingimplementing a batch queue system and web status frontend- Administrated a locally-hosted VM web server
