James Gaither

Software Engineer @ United States Air Force

About

I am a software engineer with an electrical engineering background specializing in aircraft operational flight programs and software reprogramming support equipment. My career started in the Automatic Test Systems Program Office at Robins AFB. This position taught me how the quality and completeness of the technical data package impacts sustainment costs in the long term. It was here that I learned to read engineering drawings and identify improvements to reduce downtime and cost. I excelled at my first software engineering assignment with the 580th. A CAPRE project
