Associate in Simulation / Senior Research Engineer: Worked as Senior 
Research Engineer on embedded training technologies at the Army 
Research Lab (ARL) Simulation Training and Technology Center (STTC).
    Responsible for the integration, maintenance, and operation of 
technology demonstration testbeds in the STTC's Dismounted Soldier Lab. 
In this lab we concentrated on technologies for locomotion, tracking, and 
augmented reality; as such I had to integrate and maintain cutting edge 
research systems from companies like SRI, Intelligent Decisions, Conflict 
Kinetics, Organic Motion, Quantum3D, Research Network Inc, among 
others. Designed and built a hardware platform to measure the total and 
partial system latency of the DSTS wearable VR system, and successfully 
characterized the latency of the stock configuration with IMU sensors and 
VBS2 environment, as well as additional configurations like Unity3D with 
standard input device. 
    Worked as the senior design/hardware engineer; this involved doing the 
mechanical and electrical design, CAD/CAM modeling and analysis, project 
management, fabrication, etc, of custom infrastructure in support of specific 
research initiatives and/or experiments. I have designed and built five 
embedded training simulation testbeds, most of them in support of the now 
defunct future combat system (FCS): a one seat command and control 
vehicle (C2V), a two-seat infantry carrier vehicle (ICV), a two-seat common 
gunnery architecture (CGA), a two-seat embedded mission rehearsal (eMR) 
and a one seat switchable vision block demonstrator (VBD). Over the years 
these testbeds have been repurposed and reused into several different 
configurations and have been integrated with multiple vendor systems into 
distributed simulation experiments and demonstration using DIS and HLA 
protocols. Have created from scratch several applications to control DIS and 
HLA simulation network traffic; and have also designed and built embedded 
hardware dedicated to this purpose. Most of these testbeds required multi-
monitor touchscreen displays. Not happy with the commercially available 
touch screen monitors, and in order to streamline the look of the displays, I 
designed and built two different custom touchscreen monitors that minimized 
the bezel size and mounting depth; with the latest design I built seven 17-
inch units for a 3x2 display matrix plus spare. On a different project, I 
designed and built the mounts to attach cameras and computer systems to a 
Foster-Miller TALON robotic platform in support of a 3D stereoscopic remote 
driving experiment. For another stereoscopic driving experiment, I designed 
and built a custom adjustable mount system to attach six head tracking 
cameras to the cabin of a mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) motion 
platform simulator; two special requirements where to have a very rigid 
structure to minimize inter-camera displacements, and a bolt-less design 
since the simulator cabin could not be modified. 
    Worked as the senior systems engineer; this mostly involved the design 
and implementation of complicated network infrastructure, custom operating 
system level software and scripting solutions to odd and unique 
requirements presented by research initiatives and/or experiments. As part 
of this role, I developed a custom scripting environment for remote simulation 
control. This software allows us to define a group of front-end/back-end 
processes assigned to a group of systems, as a single simulation unit that 
can be controlled remotely from any system on the network. This simulation 
control environment has been very helpful in aiding with the integration of 
external research projects into our existing simulation testbeds. Also work as 
the group's network administrator. Over the years, I have developed and 
maintained a complex network supporting around 15 researchers, in a mixed 
environment, with a fully automated network wide backup system. This 
network is divided into separate subnets for each lab and simulator testbed, 
interconnected by a custom router and routing software environment 
designed to control the flow of simulation traffic (DIS/HLA) between subnets. 
Other daily duties include setup, maintenance, and integration of system 
software, software builds, and configuration management environments; 
troubleshooting of odd hardware/software issues in support of research 
experiments; evaluation and research of state-of-the-art graphics and 
simulation technologies as it applies to the Army's research initiatives. In our 
latest projects we have concentrated on research of embedded training on 
mobile platforms, and to this end we keep a testbed with a multitude of 
mobile devices like the latest Android phones and tablets, and Apple iOS 
devices like iPod touch and iPad.

Senior Systems Engineer: Was engineer #2 on a six-employee startup, 
where engineer #1 was one of the owners. Performed several engineering 
roles due to the small size of the company. The company provides hi-tech 
computing solutions to the enterprise, academic, scientific research, graphics 
arts, Internet, entertainment, and telecommunications markets. The core 
products sold at QBE were Systems Integration and Consulting services; the 
full line of Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics 
hardware/software/service/support products; Netscape full suite of client-
server software; SGI Alias/Wavefront high-end graphics software; Gauntlet 
Firewalls; MSI molecular simulation software; Oracle, Informix, and Sybase 
database environments among other solutions. Functional roles included: 
pre-sales engineer; on-site software and hardware support engineer; and 
integration engineer/project manager.
As a pre-sales engineer, my duties consisted of: the design of systems 
hardware and software configuration to meet or exceed customer needs at 
an specified budget range (usually between $5K and $250K); the design of 
high-end presentations and demos to show-off the capabilities, features, and 
superiority of our computing solutions and products (this usually consisted of 
setting-up temporary Unix network environments in a showroom floor, with 
web servers, streaming media, 3D graphics, remote management, etc.); and 
helping the sales staff with technical questions, new technological 
advancements, etc.
As a support engineer my duties consisted of: 24x7, 4 hour response on-site, 
phone, and remote hardware and software support; general Unix OS and 
application support; periodic remote systems/network monitoring and 
performance profiling; onsite preventive maintenance, and 
repair/replacement of hardware to the FRU (field replaceable unit) level; 
periodic patch installation and upgrades on production systems; provided 
technical support to the vendors we were dealer of, in trade shows and large 
training sessions; due to the high-end/low volume nature of the equipment 
sold, it often (very often) required troubleshooting of odd technical problems 
involving drivers, kernel tuning, or hardware testing, and always resulting in 
either the installation of an existing patch or a bug report to the manufacturer 
for the creation of one (most situations required coordination between the 
system manufacturer and a third party hardware or software provider, in 
order to solve the problem).
As an integration engineer/project manager my duties consisted of: the 
installation, testing, and release into production, of the systems designed as 
a pre-sales engineer; systems usually consisted of an Intranet or 
Internet/ISP solutions using high-end servers and Netscape SuiteSpot server 
side software which typically involved installing and integrating http/https, 
mail, ftp, proxy, news, certificate, catalog, DNS, and NIS services, plus a 
firewall running on a hardened Unix kernel (there was a great deal of 
Netscape software customization in these projects); installed several Sun 
E450s and E3000s, and SGI Origin 200 with software/hardware raid 
configurations using Sun's Online Disk Suite/Sun Storage Array and SGI 
Plexing/Volume Management software; installed several SGI O2 and Octane 
workstations with Alias/WaveFront's Power Animator, Maya, Composer, and 
Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.
