From November 2015 to Present (2 months) Senior Software Design Engineer @ Developed low-level requirements and design documents from high-level requirements for Spoiler Control Electronics system, processor support (PSP) and board support packages (BSP). Formally reviewed designs and requirements written by teammates for correctness, accuracy, clarity, format, and testability to DO-178B, Level A standards. Reviewed C and assembly source code for agreement with requirements. Tracked requirements in DOORS; tracked design documents and code in Synergy; coordinated tasks in IBM Change. From March 2014 to January 2015 (11 months) Senior Software Design Engineer @ Contractor at BAE Systems From March 2014 to January 2015 (11 months) Software Verification Engineer @ Verifying requirements and implementation of an updated Flight Management System for the Boeing 737. Original system worked well but was not documented or verified to modern standards, so our teams are bringing both up to date: reverse-engineering the product to produce low-level requirements, verifying the low-level design, then testing the product against the design. This product works well but is brittle: in addition to providing the necessary documentation of quality and reliability, I am smoothing the way for future upgrades. From May 2013 to January 2014 (9 months) Software Verification Engineer @ Contractor at Verocel, Inc. From May 2013 to January 2014 (9 months) Software Engineer @ Contractor at Lockheed-Martin From November 2012 to December 2012 (2 months) Software Engineer @ Wrote and dry-ran test procedures for boot mode executive on a general-purpose avionics co-processor card. Wrote high-level software interface requirements for this card. From November 2012 to December 2012 (2 months) V&V Engineer @ Contractor at Goodrich Sensors & Integrated Systems From September 2012 to November 2012 (3 months) V&V Engineer @ Analyzed system requirements for a new Fuel Quantity Measurement and Indication System, developing rationales and test cases for Requirements Based Testing (RBT) at RTCA DO-178B Design Assurance Level (DAL) B. Wrote black-box test procedures and scripts for a LabView test environment using a proprietary scripting language. Tracked requirements and test cases in DOORS; maintained scripts and test results in Apache Subversion software versioning and revision control system using the TortoiseSVN client. From September 2012 to November 2012 (3 months) Software Test Engineer @ Revised legacy test procedure and conducted HW/SW Integration Testing (V6, white box) of updated Electronic Engine Control software under DO-178A, Level A processes, completing certification on time when most of the developer’s corporate knowledge about the document was no longer available. In the process, identified several optimizations on severely time-constrained modules that were incorporated into the same generation of the product. Source code was assembly on proprietary processor. Used DCM on a VAX for version control and document tracking. From March 2010 to March 2011 (1 year 1 month) Software Test Engineer @ Contractor at Hamilton Sundstrand From March 2010 to March 2011 (1 year 1 month) Software Test Engineer @ Conducted integration testing on a Type-1 HAIPE-compliant In-line Network Encryptor (INE).
