Space and Microwave Division Apprentice Systems Engineer :- Duties included performing Troposcatter Path Analysis and Microwave Communications System Design for a large Military Communications System in the Middle East. . Radio and Line Division Apprentice Systems Engineer :- Duties involved the commissioning of the Automatic Cross Connect (ACE) PCM switch and assisting with the design of the microprocessor Z80 controller card for the switch. . Broadcasting Division Apprentice Systems Engineer :- Assisted with the development of a new Class 'D' high power ( 500 KW ) HF broadcast transmitter. . Installation and Maintenance Department Junior Installation and Maintenance Engineer :- On joining this department I was posted to Oman on a long term contract to maintain a large integrated air defence system which had been previously installed by Marconi for the Omani Air Force. This involved maintenance of troposcatter, microwave radio relay, digital multiplexers and "MITEL" digital PABX telephone exchanges. June 1987 - October 1988 Mercury Communications Systems . Planning Engineer Responsible for the planning of new customer's network requirements, this involved the specification of multiplex equipment, microwave path evaluation and the allocation of network resources. October 1988 - September 1993 British Aerospace (Military Aircraft Division) . Systems Engineer - Systems Development Department Responsible for the test facilities to perform systems integration testing of the new Tornado Mid Life Update (MLU) avionics suite. This involved the following tasks :- . Formulate the requirements for dynamic simulation software to simulate the aircraft and its sensors in real time using the CORE design tool. . Review and update the HOOD design for the simulation software. . Perform acceptamce testing of the simulation software. . Design and commissioning of the test facilities. During this time I also spent time in the Middle East in order to commission an avionics training rig and I was seconded to the Systems Engineering Department to assist with the requirements for the Tornado Computer Symbol Generator. . Section Leader - Systems Development Department Tornado MLU Navigation/Sensors From Jan 90, I was responsible for the team involved with the testing of the new Main Computer software and its integration with other aircraft units. This has involved the following tasks :- . Generation of requirements and generation of code (ADA) for a suite of models to be used for either off-line or real time analysis of data and programs to enable automated integration testing to be performed. . Formulation of test strategies and procedures to exercise the aircaft software, primarily using the BAe Advanced Data Acquisition and Simulation System (ADAS ' Perform integration tests and analysis of test results. September 1993 - August 96 Siemens Plessey Systems (ATM) Division . Senior Test Engineer NERC Devising System Aceptance tests for the Radar Data Processing (RDP) sub-system for the above. Performing system acceptance tests for customer acceptance of the NERC RDP sub-system. System testing of the NERC RDP sub-system. Devising, documenting and performing Acceptance tests for the Radar Tracking Analysis (RTA) Software which was developed to prove the performance of the NERC RDP sub-system. Performance testing of the NERC RDP sub-system using RTA in both simulated and real mode. Simulated mode uses RTA to generate aircraft manoeuvres and associated plot data which was then tracked using a harnessed tracker and subsequently analysed by comparing the tracks with the corresponding aircraft manoeuvres. Real mode compares recorded tracked data from the operational RDP sub-system with the corresponding trajectory data generated by the Multi-Radar Trajectory Reconstruction Tool (MURATREC). Acceptance testing of the Radar Analysis Display (RAD) software for NERC. RAD allows the contents of the recorded track data to be analysed off line. Configuring the software to allow updates to be delivered to the customer (LORAL). Finnish Air Traffic Management Integration (FATMI) Integration testing of the RDP sub-system Responsibilities included:- Integration of the COIN (Comminications Interface), which accepts Asterix, RDIF or Selenia formatted radar data with the Plot Processing software. Integration of the Single and Multi-Radar tracking software with the plot processing and COIN software. Currently debugging the above software to enable integration with the display software. August 96 - Present Test and Integration Engineer ( Freelance Sub-contractor ) for Lockhedd Martin at the CAA NERC Swanick Air Traffic Control centre Languages / Operating Systems NERC RDP Sub-system RTL/2 running under RMX NERC RTA Ada running under VAX/VMS NERC RAD Ada and C running under IBM AIX FATMI RDP Ada running under OSF/1 (Digital Unix)
