BlueView Technologies, Seattle, WA United States
Industry: Ocean Engineering
Enhance the 3D state-of-the-art mechanical scanning systems to be used for applications in underwater spool piece metrology applications delivering accurate measurements using sonars to oil and gas customers.
Successfully conducted dry dock tests in Aberdeen, Scotland demonstrating acceptable accuracies of sonar systems as required by underwater spool piece metrology customers Conducted acceptance tests on sonar data acquisition interface and found software source code improvements. Researched, tested and implemented reference targets which are essential for underwater surveys and measurements of large areas using sonar systems. Participated as the project manager in the software design that automatically calibrated sonar equipment. Authored reports and application documents used as standards for sonar data collection.--
