Summary
Joe Parrish is a Principal System Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing, testing, and fielding RF front ends, high-power amplifiers, and antenna systems for complex communications and C4ISR platforms. He pairs RF systems expertise with high-speed FPGA design (VHDL/Verilog targeting Xilinx) and embedded software (C/C++ drivers on Linux and VxWorks), bridging hardware and software from concept through production and platform installation. Joe has led integration and test efforts using industry tools and processes (Jenkins, Accurev, JIRA) and routinely translates system-level requirements into verification plans and factory acceptance tests. Based in Boston, he has held principal and lead roles at Boeing, Accenture Federal Services, and CACI, bringing both hands-on debugging across RF test equipment and deep systems knowledge to proposals and program delivery. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions where RF, FPGA, and embedded stacks intersect—an engineer who thrives on untangling multidisciplinary integration challenges.
