Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Kimmel is a systems engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and integrating avionics and embedded software systems for defense contractors, currently at Northrop Grumman. He brings deep hands-on expertise in hardware description languages (VHDL, Verilog) and embedded languages (C/C++, Ada83/Ada95), complemented by scripting and automation skills (Unix shell, VBA). At NAVAIR he progressed from systems engineer to FACE Lead and CORE Avionics chief systems architect, driving standards-based architectures for mission-critical platforms. His MS in Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School underpins a methodical approach to requirements, verification, and system-of-systems tradeoffs. Based in Washington, DC, he combines low-level implementation know-how with systems-level architecture experience—often translating legacy avionics codebases into modular, standards-compliant designs. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that bridge formal avionics processes and practical engineering constraints.
