Principal Software Engineer

Summary

Principal software engineer for real-time radar signal processing on embedded hardware: DSP code, software architecture, and the technical direction behind them. Open to principal or lead roles in DSP, embedded, or systems work.

Experience

Raytheon2019 – Present

Principal Software EngineerMar 2026 – Present

Principal engineer and DSP lead for embedded software on radar programs. Set architecture and direction; drove requirements and verification across hardware, firmware, integration, and test.

  • Set embedded software direction across radar programs.

Also: AI Lead (Dec 2025 – Present). Leads AI tool adoption for the program's software and systems engineers. Writes the policy for approved AI use on code deliverables and the guardrails around it, and runs the pilot ahead of a program-wide rollout.

  • Leading AI tool adoption across the program.

Senior Software Engineering Task LeadFeb 2025 – Mar 2026

Software architect and task lead for a new radar receiver. Defined interface contracts across hardware, firmware, and systems; grew the team from 8 to 18 engineers.

  • Owned the software architecture for a new radar receiver.

Software Engineer IIApr 2022 – Feb 2025

Software task manager for several radar signal-processing capabilities, absorbing responsibilities as senior engineers retired or left. Found the race condition that blocked the radar's government acceptance, and delivered an end-of-life DSP replacement solo, 6 months early and 48% under budget, cutting boot failures from 7–10% to 2–3% along the way.

  • Made radar DSPs plug-and-play so customers can replace them one at a time.
  • Cut boot failure rate from 7–10% to 2–3% on radar platform.
  • Delivered an end-of-life DSP replacement 6 months early and 48% under budget.
  • Resolved the race condition blocking the radar's government acceptance.

Also: DevSecOps Champion (Dec 2023 – Present). One of two DevSecOps champions, nominated by leadership, for a program software group of nearly 400 engineers. Works with Raytheon's corporate software modernization team and the program's platform engineers to bring modern source control, build infrastructure, and automation to the program.

  • Leading the program's move from ClearCase to GitLab.
  • Modernized the program's build infrastructure.

Software Engineer IOct 2019 – Apr 2022

Embedded C on DSP hardware for real-time radar signal processing. Built the radar's interface to a simulated missile, tuned real-time paths, and became software task manager for several radar signal-processing capabilities.

  • Replaced $2M+ of missile-simulation hardware with software on a Linux PC.
  • Cut radar correlator cycle counts with identical output.

Early experience

  • Electrical Engineering Co-op, Olympus (Sep 2018 – Dec 2018).
  • Project Management Co-op, J&M Brown (Jan 2018 – Apr 2018). Automated customer estimates, earning a Cooperative Education Award.
  • Research Assistant, Wentworth Institute of Technology (May 2017 – Dec 2018). Cut photolithography dose error from 15% to 2%.
