Systems Engineer @ Texas Instruments - DSEG (now Raytheon) Led one of three rotation teams in an airborne data collection effort for a $10,000,000 defense program. Developed MATLAB/spreadsheet models for simulation testing, analysis, and performance optimization. Wrote a C program for a Kalman filter tracking algorithm. Characterized and tested uncooled infrared sensor technologies. Modeled atmospheric properties and aircraft target signatures using the SPIRITS-AC simulation tool. From 1989 to 1998 (9 years) Dallas/Fort Worth AreaSystems Engineer @ E-Systems (now L-3 Communications) Investigated optical distortion correction methods, fiber optic-integrated data bus communications, meteor burst/spread spectrum communications, and surface acoustic wave devices. Oversaw testing initiative for an airborne surveillance system. Wrote the operation, maintenance, and testing manuals for this system. Created and taught a training course on the operation and maintenance of this system. From 1987 to 1989 (2 years) Greenville, TexasSenior Systems Engineer @ Raytheon Directed image/track processing algorithm development projects. Modeled and designed a high-speed processor architecture for a multi-target tracking system. Wrote the avionics algorithm sections and defined performance, operational, functional, and packaging requirements in defense contract proposals. Executed successfully a $1,500,000 defense contract as project leader. Authored and presented a classified technical paper at a defense industry symposium which was published in a classified technical journal. From 1998 to 2000 (2 years) Plano, TexasAssociate Engineer @ Raytheon Tested and measured laser and electro-optical ranging systems. Characterized infrared filters for noise suppression. Evaluated piezoelectric ceramic devices for acoustic-controlled laser scanning and ranging applications. From 1984 to 1985 (1 year) Sudbury, MassachusettsSystem Engineer @ New York Air Brake - Define requirements and lead teams for deploying energy management tools for the freight rail industry - Troubleshoot and resolve customer issues- Train customers on new features and tool usage- Support new product launches and designs- Coordinate and work with software, hardware, mechanical, and quality assurance teams to add new features and debug customer problems- Perform system integration testing and checkout Irving, TexasIndependent Contractor @ Keynote Photonics - Generated 4 board schematics including bill of materials and netlists using OrCAD Capture. - Tested and verified 12 near-IR portable spectroscopy units before release for shipping. From April 2014 to June 2014 (3 months) Allen, TexasSystem Engineer @ Texas Instruments - DLP - Managed project to enhance major tool suite's capability to generate firmware for a new class of high brightness projectors. I wrote the proposal and project plan with resource and scope estimates, defined requirements, demonstrated proof of concept, directed software implementation effort, developed supporting library databases, tested and verified performance, and successfully completed the project.- Served as liaison with software, hardware, quality test, product engineering, and business development teams to help roll-out new product lines. - Worked closely with and trained field support engineers and customers to debug, optimize, and transition customer products from development to mass production. - Pursued special projects to push state-of-the-art new features for solid state illuminator (LED, laser) Pico projectors and lamp-based, high brightness projectors. - Designed, developed, and optimized sequences (firmware) to drive digital micro-mirror devices used in projector applications for over 25 customer DLP projectors including Panasonic, Sharp, InFocus, BenQ, Qisda, Mitsubishi, Acer, NEC, Optoma, Toshiba, Barco, and others. - Submitted two patent applications on sequence design. - Achieved DLP's Gold and Bronze awards for excellence in customer support. From 2000 to 2013 (13 years) Plano, Texas
