Currently serving as a System Engineer, Robert is responsible for ARC-210 Airborne Radio Systems in the Mission Systems Department. He acts as a liaison between product, software, and systems teams to understand customer demand and prioritize the product roadmap. Robert is also responsible for developing and improving automated test scripts to support system integration, verification, and validation procedures using Python. He has also developed and improved factory automated test scripts that have led to a >400% increase in product deliveries. Robert has developed Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications for factory troubleshooting using C#. Robert has performed verification, validation, and qualification testing on software-defined radio products and has worked as a software engineer depending on project needs. He has also worked with experienced systems and software engineers to troubleshoot and debug system issues found in production or in the field, design and develop test cases. Robert has previously worked as a Research and Development Engineering Intern at Vertex Solutions, where he developed a generic, robust, bi-directional software Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication framework for integrating Vertex designed electronics with VR simulations using C++ and C#. He also developed a prototype VR glove that conquered limitations of what was available at the time for commercial off-the-shelf products. Robert has also served as a CubeSat Ground Station Team Lead at the Laboratory for Advanced Space Systems at Illinois (LASSI), where he designed, assembled, and tested UHF ground stations for Low Orbit Satellites (LEO) and was responsible for spacecraft antenna assembly and testing. Robert holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an Associate of Science degree from City Colleges of Chicago-Wilbur Wright College. He is skilled in test, Python, integration, software engineering, and research science. Robert is a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and goal-driven individual who strives for excellence in his work.
