I can combine my capabilities with electronics, design, testing, problem
solving, management, and computer skills to develop and enhance products,
improve productivity and ensure Quality.
PROFILE
Accomplished, computer
fluent electronic engineer. Extensive
experience in diverse engineering disciplines -- product/equipment design,
controls, process, testing, and Quality.
A highly proficient problem solver, practical and conceptual. Excellent communication and presentation
skills for reporting, briefing and customer relations.
EMPLOYMENT
FLEXTRONICS,
INCORPORATED; Youngsville,
NC 2000-2003
EMC Test Engineer, NARTE certified
Conducted
Electromagnetic Compatibility testing, Managed the Quality system, maintained
calibration on all instruments, created customer quotes for testing and
services.
· Designed and
constructed NEBS GR-1089-CORE tester which subjected telecom devices up to 1000
Volts AC and 60 Amps to test for fault tolerance. Designed and built other instruments, fixtures and devices to
facilitate testing.
VITRAMON,
INCORPORATED;
Monroe, CT 1991-2000
Manager of Quality
Assurance
Oversaw quality management for plants in the U.S., Germany and
Israel. Planned, organized and
controlled facets of administration, manufacturing operations and quality
assurance functions for manufacturer of ceramic capacitors.
· Led project to achieve ISO-9000
registration and later QS-9000 for the Quality System. Extended registration to include second US
and Israel plants. Maintained highest
quality in industry.
COMPUTERWISE
ELECTRONICS, INCORPORATED; Arden, NC 1988-1991
Project
Manager/Consultant, Registered Professional Engineer
Consulted with
industrial clients in engineering, process control, circuit design, quality
control, data acquisition/analysis, system installation, programming, and
networks.
· Developed a PC-based system to gather data and
analyze performance capabilities of freezer units for final acceptance. Reports included a performance summary for
pull-down rate, ultimate temperature, power loss recovery, temperature control
deviation, and a graph of actual temperature throughout a 24 hour test
sequence. Capacity was 48 units tested
simultaneously with arbitrary start times.
Implemented noise filtering to extract cycle performance from random
temperature perturbations.
CORNING
ELECTRONICS;
Raleigh, NC 1963-1988
Project Manager/Senior
Engineer,
1976-1988
Led project
initiatives in quality control, process control, product design, calibration,
system installation, data acquisition and analysis. Reviewed, approved, and consolidated expenses and capital
equipment budgets; established cost controls.
· Designed a digital control system using
commercial measurement instruments for automatic measurement, sorting, binning,
and counting of acceptable and rejected ceramic capacitors for use in a final
inspection application. One parameter
required multiple high-voltage charging stations preceding a nanoampere
measurement station as parts were advanced mechanically along a conveyer. A second unit was developed for use as a
production tester with high speed handling equipment. The systems were designed to be highly resistant to conducted and
radiated electrical interference in a factory environment.
Senior Engineer/Designer, 1963-1976
Designed
electronic components and test equipment for networks, circuits, modules, and
PC boards.
· Implemented
Final Inspection department for RF modules with attention to precise
measurement of RF level and gain, noise figure, spurious outputs. Designed test fixtures, acquired test
equipment and trained personnel.
Assisted in the design and layout of modules to be manufactured.
· Developed a
system for temperature coefficient testing of ceramic capacitors, including
chamber fixtures. Considerations
included minimizing and compensating stray capacitance to achieve required
accuracy, reliable contacts over the temperature range, and verification of end
to end calibration. Setup, calibration,
data collection, and analysis were computer controlled. The system delivered
consistent long term accuracy and reliable operation with ease of part mounting
and semiautomatic test cycling. The
accuracy, test capacity, and ease of use were each improved by several hundred
percent over previous methods.
· Assisted in the design of a prototype remote
computer work station. When tested on a
telephone link, line noise and adjacent machinery prohibited operation. Successfully implemented noise immunity
features that permitted error-free operation under all service conditions.
RADIO
CORPORATION OF AMERICA; Camden, NJ 1959-1963
Design Engineer,
Aerospace Electronics
Designed FM
telemetry transmitters (patented) for Ranger, Gemini and DynaSoar spacecraft,
and other RF devices.
· Designed and
patented a crystal-controlled wide band FM modulator for aerospace video and
telemetry applications. The modified
versions were used on Ranger, Gemini, and a prototype Space Shuttle. Met NASA requirements for radiated and
conducted RF emissions.
