Summary
Brian Youngman is a software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and supporting mission-critical systems in defense and manufacturing environments. He combines formal computer software engineering education with deep practical knowledge from roles spanning SMT machine operation to troubleshooting 250+ test stations, which gives him a systems-level view of how software affects hardware and operations. At Orolia Defense & Security and prior at Harris/L3Harris, he delivered tools and simulations using C#, WinForms, and protocols like NMEA and UDP to emulate hardware and support battle management systems. Later-in-life degree completion and a history of moving from technician to engineer reflect a continual-learning mindset and strong cross-functional communication skills with operators, engineers, and executives. He excels at diagnosing root causes beyond symptoms and translating complex requirements into reliable, testable software. Based in Rochester, NY, he’s open to collaborations that bridge software, embedded systems, and manufacturing process improvements.
