Raytheon Software Engineering is responsible for developing real-time embedded software for systems across the entire kill chain, from sensors through command and control (C2) systems to the effectors. In his role, Rick leads the development of Raytheon’s software strategy and roadmaps, and contributes to systems and software architecture and engineering initiatives across multiple captures and programs. He is a Raytheon Certified Architect, a member of the Raytheon Architecture Review Board (ARB), and has been Chief Systems and/or Software Architect on multiple programs, including the DDG1000 Zumwalt class destroyer program.
Rick frequently leads special initiatives for Raytheon engineering. For example, he helped establish the Raytheon Radar Software Product Line (RSPL), develop Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Strategy (AIML) strategies and roadmaps, advance Digital Transformation (DTx) initiatives, and most recently the Digital Products Initiative (DPI).
Prior to joining Raytheon Rick held senior management and technical positions working in advanced systems and software at Baltimore Technologies, GTE Internetworking, BBN, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Encore Computers.
Rick has background and experience in systems and software architecture, parallel and distributed computing, networking, artificial intelligence, fault tolerance, and Cyber security. He has numerous publications and holds four patents. Rick holds Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. degrees, all in Computer Science.
Rick and his wife Tracey have three children, all out of the house and growing their own careers. His hobbies include woodworking, hiking, and backpacking.
