Summary
Heath McCabe is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience at the intersection of embedded systems, navigation, and backend software, currently building an AI pilot at Shield AI. His background blends missile GNC and HWIL lab leadership at Lockheed Martin with resilient distributed backend development in Java/Spring at Capital One, plus RF, GPS, and circuit expertise using C++, Python, Matlab, and Real-Time OSs. He has a track record of automating complex test workflows—writing concurrent Python tools and C++ interfaces to integrate satellite simulators—that materially sped up verification and enabled more advanced GPS testing. A Baylor alum and Johns Hopkins engineering graduate student based in Silver Spring, he’s comfortable moving from low-level RF and oscilloscope work to cloud-scale service design, bringing a systems-minded approach and cross-domain fluency that shortens the feedback loop between hardware testing and software delivery.
