Harris RF Communications is the leading global supplier of secure radio communications, tactical communication networks and embedded high-grade encryption solutions for military, public safety, government and commercial customers. Working there for the last twelve years, I’ve coded real-time, embedded communication protocols, performed hundreds of customer demonstrations, and led the justification, design and development of a brand new software product.
I first encountered Harris at a job fair in Auburn–they are easily recognizable by their Hawaiian shirts, a reference to headquarters being by the beach on Florida’s “Space Coast.” Just looking at the technology they were developing, I knew I had to be involved. Embedded encryption, ad-hoc networking with real-time, life or death consequences: truly that was the tip of the technology spear.
