Summary
Jim Mcglasson is a senior software engineer and architect with nine years of formal experience and a multi-decade background designing real-time embedded and aerospace systems. He blends deep expertise in C/C++, Linux, and real-time executives with hands-on work in flight simulation, aircraft systems math-modeling, and hardware interfaces. Jim has led system- and system-of-system-level architectures at Boeing and Intel and now applies that rigor to electric propulsion and power management at ZEVX. He’s comfortable across the stack—from low-level control loaders and IPC to service-oriented middleware and backend tooling—which makes him effective at bridging avionics hardware and modern software practices. A quick learner and critical thinker, he repeatedly turns complex regulatory and physical requirements into practical, testable implementations. Less obvious: his career path shows a pattern of moving between deeply technical engineering roles and higher-level architecture leadership, giving him rare fluency in both implementation detail and system design.
