Analyzed the ground segment requirements for a ground station under contract for the European Space Agency and managed a European subcontractor. Responsible for subcontractor management of a processing subsystem.
Created an experimental payload simulation model to allow a factory test by generating signals from five asynchronous instrument sources. This resulted in the resolution of subsystem integration problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investigated approaches to new digital tape storage devices, including firmware design, performance, compatibility, testing and field support.
Specified analysis and design of interface firmware, coordinated system integration requirements and produced prototype.
Worked with a team to move development activities from USA to UK.
Investigated future storage products, standards, technologies and trends.
Helped to transfer manufacture of established Winchester disk storage products from USA to UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Appointed key manufacturing engineer of a 500 units per month disk drive production line with responsibility for coordinating production and process changes, ensuring production quality and coordinating problem resolution.
Specified, procured and commissioned test equipment including functional automatic test equipment and environmental equipment.
Trained technical staff and new engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studied feasibility for a Navstar Global Positioning System application.
Designed and structured software to military-standards to control a Navstar simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carried out doctoral studies in a wide range of topics including position fixing systems, coordinate conversion, map projections, data combination (Kalman filtering), and digital filtering techniques.
Investigated digital signal processing of radio navigation data with emphasis on tracking terrestrial vehicles using low-frequency hyperbolic navigation systems.
Undertook demonstrating duties in the undergraduate control laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undertook a 3 year electronics apprenticeship, and trained in electrical and mechanical design, manufacture, assembly and maintenance.
Developed and maintained laboratory experiments and DEC computer interfaces in the Nuclear Research Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
