Summary
Byron Lara is a Senior System Test Engineer with nine years of experience designing and executing complex test campaigns for avionics and defense systems. He blends hands-on systems engineering—creating test plans, scripting automation in Python, MATLAB, and shell, and debugging firmware/software/hardware integrations—with leadership in coordinating multidisciplinary test teams and milestone reviews. His background spans Raytheon to Skyryse, where he’s supported ALT, environmental, and integration tests using tools from Linux and Eclipse to oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Trained as a mechanical engineer, he brings a rare mix of mechanical modeling (SolidWorks, robotics simulation) and embedded software experience (C/C++, Arduino), enabling practical root-cause analysis across physical and software layers. Based in Baldwin Park, CA, Byron is particularly adept at turning test data into actionable insights and clear engineering artifacts that drive program decisions.
