Q. What brought you to Raytheon AST?

 

A.

I first learned about Raytheon AST while attending Washington University in St. Louis. When I started my job search, I went to monster.com and saw the company had a good mix of software and hardware engineering opportunities. As a double major in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, the company looked like a good fit for me. When I visited the corporate headquarters for an interview, I fell in love with the Bay Area. I was really impressed by the engineers I met and the company's compensation and benefits package.

Q. What are some of the projects that you have been involved with?

 

A.

Over the past nine years, I have worked on different products within what has been come to be known as the Advanced Selection Architecture (ASA). During this time, I have worked as a developer, system tester, and field integrator, and have seen many successful deployments.

 

I have had the opportunity to see the product from its infancy through to now, where there are many successful fielded systems that use the ASA suite of products. With each new release, we received positive feedback from customers who are glad to see the steps we are taking to give them a product that is more functional and easier to use than the previous version.
