Summary
Chris Wilcox is an experienced engineering leader with nine years in his current managerial trajectory and a multi-decade background in avionics and systems engineering, now serving as Engineering Section Manager at Raytheon Technologies. He specializes in embedded system analysis, testing and design, with deep hands-on experience in avionics simulation, assembly language (Z8, Z8000), radar, ECM systems, and flight test. Chris has led complex, safety-critical programs from requirements through flight validation, blending rigorous systems engineering with practical embedded development. Based in Macon, Georgia, he pairs formal BSEE training from Missouri S&T with a long record at Raytheon that reflects both technical depth and sustained program leadership. Beyond corporate roles, he mentors STEM students through MDS-Legoliers and MDS Robotics, signaling a commitment to developing the next generation of engineers. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between low-level firmware detail and high-level program management while maintaining testable, auditable designs for mission-critical systems.
