UVAD's embedded systems team is involved in developing control systems, operator applications, and data analysis for their UAV fleet.

• Responsible for developing embedded software in C/C++ involving testing pressure and rotary sensors for real-time flight data such as airspeed, angle of attack, and angle of sideslip, to be integrated with existing vehicle systems.
• Interfaced with real-time models for flight control system ensuring critical response and reliability.
• Designed testing package for servos, including work with CAN bus communication between microcontrollers and servos. Worked with vendors through issues encountered during project to resolve errors.
• Extensive work with CAN bus protocol including breadboarding with CAN transceivers, sending/receiving messages, viewing network traffic, and debugging with tools such as oscilloscopes and WireShark.
• Developed features and text-based user interface (TUI) for vehicle Linux systems, directly responsible for intersystem communication.
• Integrated user-interaction features on existing applications using QT 5 and 6 for UAV operators to view sensor data as well as calibrate and interface with embedded systems.
• Exposure to STANAG4586 communications protocol and related processes and terminology.
