Little Canada, MN 55117 Honeywell Aerospace Senior Program Manager Home: (651) 483 -2799 Office: (612) 951 -5185 Objective: This resume is provided in conjunction with a letter of interest to be a member of the Little Canada Planning Commission. Education: Purdue University: PhD EE (8/87) Experience: Sr. Program Manager: August 2001 — present: Employed in the MEMS Inertial Technology group of Honeywell's Defense & Space division. Currently responsibilities involve the management and direction of a multi- company team tasked with the development of the next generation, miniature, MEMS- based, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Inertial Navigation System + GPS (INS /GPS). The effort ranges from MEMS accel & gyro development to the systems integration and software efforts required to produce complete sensor systems. This multi year, Tri- Service program began in September 2001. Dr. Roberts is responsible for all aspects of program execution and the resulting business development opportunities. Program Manager: January 1999 — August 2001: Employed in the Control Sensor Products group of Honeywell's SGP division. Responsible for all aspects of business execution associated with Honeywell's AC Magnetic Head /Helmet Tracker and Digital Compass and Orientation Sensor products. Responsibilities include technical direction, systems engineering, business development, customer interface, etc. Dr. Roberts has worked internationally in support of BAe and RAF installations of head tracker systems and has French & German language education (but not fluent). Responsibilities also include the development of a low /no- power, hand -held display device (a DARPA- funded program), In addition to the various aspects of the direction & management of the efforts, responsibilities include technical tasks involving digital hardware, embedded system software, algorithm development, and GUI development. Staff Engineer: May 1996 — January 1999: Employed in the Orientation and Display Products Group of Honeywell's SGP Division. Principal Investigator and Program Manager of Honeywell's Force XXI Soldier program. Efforts include the development of a digital compass and orientation - sensing device and the design and build of head - mounted display systems for mounted and dismounted soldiers. Principal Research Scientist: July 1989 — May 1996: Employed in the Information Processing and Displays Area within the Honeywell Technology Center. Research efforts varied widely: • Algorithm development and real -time implementation of an image- based, passive ranging system for obstacle detection and avoidance applications, [NASA Ames] • Design and implementation of a genetic algorithm for automated configuration and training of image processing algorithms (e.g., target recognition algorithms). [DARPA] • Design and build of drive and interface electronics for miniature flat panel displays (active matrix LCD, and active matrix electro- luminescent) [U.S. Army] 1 12
