CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa--()--Rockwell Collins has selected three employees as the company’s 2017 Corporate Engineers of the Year. The recipients are Angelo Joseph, a principal systems engineer in Commercial Systems; Adriane Van Auken, a principal systems engineer in Government Systems; and Frédéric Trincal, a principal systems engineer in International & Service Solutions.

The three were honored for their exceptional technical creativity and innovation during the company’s annual Engineering Breakfast on Monday, Feb. 19. The event was held in celebration of National Engineers Week.

Joseph pioneered the most advanced commercial software-defined global navigation satellite system receiver certified today. His work enables significant business opportunities for the company’s multi-mode receiver product family.
