Work experience
Software Engineer
Aeroflex Wichita, 2004-present (Intern before 2008)
- Created an in-house GUI application in Python/Qt for the DSP group to replace
their dependency on Matlab for filter design, which led to a new system-wide met
hod of handling DSP design and maintenance and added to our company's core stren
gth of product flexibility.
- Designed custom QT graphics plugins in C++ to simplify actual GUI design; Redu
ced maintenance and enabled non-engineers to design future systems more readily.
This also enabled rapid protoyping.
- Maintained C++ code base for several large embedded environments, tracking dow
n customer-reported bugs, and adding new features per marketing requests.
- Designed digital signal decoders and filters in C/C++ for software radios. Cod
ed to run on specific architectures included TI DSP, StrongARM, PowerPC, and x86
.
- Utilized UML design practices from start to finish. Learned the limits and use
s of design methodology.
- Emphasized object-oriented design in C++, with code reviews and layered models
. For instance the User Interface classes have no knowledge of the system, but f
unction as independent blocks assembled together by the Engines through a common
CORBA communication system.
- Synchronized code bases among team, using multiple version control systems; fo
rked development and release branches.
- Tested systems for QA and regression; characterized, reported and verified bug
s. Also wrote desktop tools in C++ to automate testing processes for HTML.
- Gathered requirements for nearly all projects from a combination of engineerin
g, marketing, customer service and calibration, technical writers, and previous
product designs. Presented or communicated requirements as needed.
- Worked with a diverse team located across the country and internationally to m
eet widely varying product requirements for each region.
