• Software Engineer

  • Oct 2007 - Aug 2011

  Design and develop simulation and test software for a D0178B brake control system project for the EADS A400M aircraft.Designed and developed software (C/C++) for testing various functions within the BACS, such as brake control algorithms, antiskid control loops, periodic test functions, ARINC data transmission. This includes testing of highly complex Simulink based model requirements.Created a suite of testing and simulation tools modeled on the S/W architecture using C++ OOP methodology. These tools have been instrumental in helping the V&V team efforts by reducing complexity and increasing maintainability of the test software, as well as simplifying the interface with the Triakis VSIL.

• Software Design Engineer

  • 1995 - 2004

  Design and development (C language in UNIX environment) of new functional capabilities as well as upgrades to GUIs, subsystem I/O interfaces, data processing software, embedded controller software, and simulation tools.Implemented software used to process and allocate real-time aircraft positional data via shared memory. Designed and developed a GUI for controlling and accessing this data from the remote subsystem. These efforts applied to a significant part of the system’s functionality.Instrumental in troubleshooting and resolving critical field software and system problems during several trips to the customer site, helping make the system ready for functional acceptance. Designed and developed ethernet based software interfaces (via TCP/IP, UDP, message queues) between GUIs/application servers and several remote subsystems, providing more stable communication for subsystem control and live mission operations. Designed and implemented a GUI based video display/capture/print application (Motif, OpenGL). The design choice effectively eliminated the need for a solution requiring external hardware.
