Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Falardeau is an embedded software engineer with two decades of hands-on experience bridging avionics, instrumentation, and product development, currently building systems at DEKA Research & Development. He gravitates to projects at the hardware–software boundary and has applied that focus across aerospace avionics, radio astronomy instrumentation, and rapid productization at companies like Aspen Avionics, NRAO, and Segway. Skilled in embedded firmware, hardware testing, and manufacturing transitions, he brings practical systems thinking from fielded aircraft hydraulics to complex sensor and instrument stacks. Richard is especially interested in using his expertise for educational outreach, robotics, 3D printing, EVs, and scientific sensors—areas where his mix of lab, shop, and avionics experience yields pragmatic, testable solutions. Notably, his background includes both military aircraft hydraulic maintenance and advanced research instrumentation, giving him rare insight into maintainability and reliability in high-stakes systems.
