About Rick Thorne
I\'m a creative engineering and artistic visionary who works in a leadership capacity in two completely different fields. One day, it will be none. For today, I\'m busier than an ant colony at a birthday party. My experience: technical (flightline technician, weapons system troubleshooting), engineering (software development, software testing, system engineering (system testing, requirements analysis, workflow analysis and operational concepts development, system testing, and communications systems applications)), program management (systems engineering and music production), and music production (composition, arranging, audio recording, performance, video production, and critical performance analysis).
Experience
Communications Systems Engineer
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Aug 2016 — Present · Washington, DC, US
I\'m the test director for an RF communications simulation system. My job: telling lab rats when play is over and it\'s time to earn our paychecks. Then I get to analyze the results and tell our customers the bad news. But once that\'s done, I get to let the lab rats loose again. It\'s like parenting. I think that\'s my most relevant skill here.
Education
