Embedded Software Engineer

Company: The Boeing company

Dates: April 2022 - Present

• Developed a Python application to auto-generate ~1000 telemetry files monthly for C++ codebase, saving 2 hours of work per testing task and 7 days of work before major releases. Added features to detect and flag inconsistencies in database vs flight software code.
• Responsible engineer for design and implementation of Telemetry, Time, Command, and MIB-sync modules in C/C++ codebase.
• In charge of development (C++) and testing (TCL/Linux) of security-related features in flight software application layer.
• Devised a real-time, configurable non-breakpoint debugging feature for FPGA communication, facilitating timely bug identification.
• Created/managed dedicated software tool repository for team including hexadecimal packet parsing app, Perl binary parsers, Python scripts to batch analyze data or quickly generate config files, monolith Linux build scripts calling Java/Python/C++.
• Streamlined developer workflow by heavily refactoring repositories and introducing CSH scripts for quick configuration changes.
• Configured and managed lighttpd web servers, SNMP, and Linux processes for team members, ensuring a smooth dev environment.
• Object-oriented TCL testing repository, reducing test code by 50% and enhancing overall test efficiency and developer productivity.
• Mentored 5 engineers on program's embedded architecture as needed, aiding in their story execution, and resolving blocking issues.
• Team expert on configuring software and using builds given task/hardware availability. Wrote build scripts for monolith/dynamic download, software uplink, and kernel. Experience loading into flash vs ram, imitating/bypassing hardware with TCP dev builds.
• Identified and resolved critical bugs in Time, Command, FPGA, Threading, and Spacewire services w/ GreenHills Multi, TCL, etc.
• Wrote High-Level-Device-Driver (HLDD) for propulsion system of new communication satellite utilizing CANOpen protocol.
• Facilitated transfer of software deliverables between Millenium Space Systems and Boeing, working on both teams simultaneously.
• Conducted all work with agile best practices using Git/Linux/Jira/BitBucket/Confluence in a story-based sprint system.
