Initializing Systems
23 years of engineering and test experience, from developing requirements to architecting and delivering complete Solutions. 20 years in test and control hardware and software, including 10 years as a National Instruments subject-matter expert. Deep-expertise in test and control systems for programs that can't afford guesswork.
Explore ATCS
From requirements definition through development and optimization — delivering NI LabVIEW, TestStand, FlexLogger, and VeriStand applications spanning production test, R&D, and automated data acquisition and control. Deployments range from standalone instruments to fully integrated rack and portable systems. Hardware and software integration extends across third-party platforms including Keysight, MCC, and DirectSOFT — ensuring the right tool is selected for the application, not just the familiar one.
End-to-end test system design and execution encompassing V&V activities aligned to program requirements and industry standards. From test plan development and ATP authoring through automated execution and formal reporting, ATCS bridges the gap between engineering intent and documented compliance — supporting development testing, qualification campaigns, and first-article acceptance across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
Design, analysis, and implementation of manufacturing and fabrication processes with an emphasis on efficiency, repeatability, and compliance. Engagements frequently include legacy system assessment and modernization — from process revamping and control system retrofits to full platform replacement — ensuring aging infrastructure is brought in line with current operational and regulatory demands without unnecessary disruption to ongoing production.
Practical cybersecurity guidance grounded in direct experience operating within classified and controlled environments, where security requirements shape every engineering decision. ATCS assists organizations in navigating compliance frameworks — including CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and related requirements — translating regulatory obligations into actionable, implementable controls that align with real-world operational constraints and program timelines.
Coordination and technical leadership across multi-vendor, multi-discipline programs where integration risk is high and schedule pressure is constant. ATCS provides the systems-level perspective needed to identify interface gaps early, manage technical dependencies, and ensure that hardware, software, and test infrastructure come together as a coherent, validated system — not just a collection of individually verified components.
Flexible, sustained engineering support structured around what each client actually needs — not a fixed service catalog. NI platform expertise remains a primary offering, but every engagement begins with understanding the application. From there, ATCS architects the right support model: scheduled maintenance, on-call troubleshooting, incremental development, or embedded advisory — drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience across Testing, Inspection, and Certification environments.
Alexander's Test & Control Solutions was founded on a single premise: the engineers who write your test software should understand your hardware, your physics, and your program constraints — not just the IDE.
Billy Alexander brings over two decades of hands-on experience across defense, aerospace, nuclear, and industrial programs. As an NI-certified specialist, he has architected and delivered test systems for some of the most demanding applications in the country — where failures aren't acceptable and schedules don't slip.
Based in Huntsville, AL — the heart of U.S. defense and space engineering — ATCS is built to plug directly into programs that need senior-level test expertise without the overhead of a large integrator.
You've got a test challenge. We've been solving them for 23 years — missile defense, space launch, nuclear, industrial. One conversation is usually enough to map a clear path forward.
