Nolan Milleson

• Supported and enhanced post-release functionality for Edgeline and HPC (High Performance Compute) platforms — feature updates, option additions, and bug fixes.
• Diagnosed hardware and software failures and authored Root Cause Analyses, identifying systemic defects and documenting findings in Confluence and Jira.
• Led cross-functional remediation of executive escalations, communicating status to stakeholders and driving through to root cause and fix implementation.
• Mentored and trained fellow engineers on troubleshooting, product architecture, and team processes — particularly as an SME in I2C and CPLD.
• Submitted a patent application and contributed to innovation in server hardware design.

• Fixed firmware bugs and implemented new algorithms on STM microcontrollers.
• Modified a C# automated test suite for the finalized product to improve functionality.
• Redesigned a legacy equipment programmer around a modern Arduino-based microcontroller, rewriting BASIC firmware into non-blocking C/C++.
• Created a new PCB in Altium from a legacy schematic — sourcing replacements and building new Altium parts for the full design.
• Analyzed part lifecycles for older production designs using SiliconExpert.
• Built Altium templates and OneNote structure for the engineering team in an ISO-9001 environment.

• Led the redesign of a high-current pyrotechnic controller to improve performance and accuracy.
• Managed build and testing of a pyro controller system for LEO (Low-Earth Orbit) applications.
• Diagnosed and repaired hardware destined for the International Space Station.
• Designed a rocket control and telemetry system for a company hardware demonstration.
• Reviewed PCAs in Altium Designer for root cause analysis; built BOMs for custom cables and test equipment.
• Created and modified test plans for flight-ready hardware, and provided field support installing an impact detection system.
