Presenter Bio:

Roy Vandermolen is an electronic hardware design engineer and certification manager at a major aerospace company, where his responsibilities include DO-254 compliance, certification, training, design and verification of electronic hardware and PLDs, requirements, and electronic hardware processes and standards. He is also an airborne electronics hardware unit member with Level A approval authority for a major aircraft manufacturer, and has been involved in the design, verification, and certification of numerous Level A flight control systems. Roy, along with FAA DER Randall Fulton, have taught the DO-254 practitioners course for RTCA in Washington, DC since 2006, and the Aldec DO-254 class since 2012. Roy and Randall also co-authored the CRC Press book, "Airborne Electronic Hardware Design Assurance: A Practitioner's Guide to RTCA/DO-254."

 

Mr. Vandermolen attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and started designing PLDs back in 1980 and has been designing them ever since. He has authored and/or presented over 30 technical papers on topics ranging from aircraft certification and design to radiation-hardened nuclear instrumentation. He has also authored numerous certification plans, as well as standards documents for electronics design, PLD design and coding, validation and verification, configuration management, and requirements. Roy currently lives in Jacksonville, Florida.
