The challenge
Bring software components, hardware interfaces, and engineering disciplines together into an integrated simulator delivery.
Context and scope
Professional simulator delivery work at Flight Level Engineering, spanning software implementation, system integration, and coordination with other engineering disciplines.
My responsibilities
- Served as the primary software lead for the helicopter simulator delivery.
- Owned software end to end, including implementation, component integration, and delivery coordination.
- Coordinated across engineering disciplines and troubleshot real-time hardware/software issues.
Engineering approach
- Integrated components in the context of the complete simulator, tracing behavior across software and hardware boundaries.
- Coordinated software changes with the surrounding engineering work and delivery needs.
- Investigated real-time integration issues across application code, component interfaces, and hardware behavior.
Outcomes
- Brought software implementation and component integration together for the helicopter simulator delivery.
- Connected end-to-end software ownership with interdisciplinary troubleshooting and delivery coordination.
What this work illustrates
Software leadership in an integrated simulator means understanding the boundaries between components, not only the code inside each one.
