Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Jun 2017 - Mar 2023
Monitored the development of an embedded CPU launch control system on behalf of the US Air Force. Attended developer training for the Green Hills Integrity RTOS, and visited the Green Hills headquarters to investigate an advanced version of the RTOS. Transferred to a small F-35 flight software team responsible for porting an embedded software system from a big-endian environment (Rhapsody) to a mixed-endian environment (C++). During aircraft flight, the software would record real time sensor data for later offboard processing. Simulated test runs would expose anomalies in the output data and I would implement the C++ code to fix the anomalies. During my time on this project, I received four employee recognition awards, for timely and accurate delivery of software solutions and concise documentation of the analysis and resolution of the software bugs. In January of 2023 flight testing found only two remaining anomalies, and both were fixed immediately.
