PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

OXLEY, INC., Branford, CT Oct. 2011 - Nov. 2013

Electronic Hardware Design Engineer

Oxley has 70 years of experience as a manufacturer, producer, and developer

of high performance visible and infrared LED (light emitting diode) lights

for aircraft, submarines, naval ships, and military mobile units. The

company has secured many military and commercial sales contracts with large

companies and corporations such as Boeing, United Technologies, General

Dynamics, and Northrup Grumman. Oxley has provided LED navigation and

signal lights for the HMS Queen Elizabeth and the HMS Queen of Wales

aircraft carriers currently under construction by the British Navy.

. As an Electronic Designer developed, tested and perfected prototypes

for small, light and dependable next generation LED lighting

electronics to meet customer requirements.

. Initiated innovative ideas to design lights that are not only bright

but are sold as small, environmentally friendly lights to replace old

incandescent lighting technologies found in airplanes.

. Engineered analog electronic circuits using both Zener and Shottky

diodes to perform voltage regulation and protect against reverse

current phase shifts.

. Performed design work starting from schematic and simulation libraries

in Altium Designer to three dimensional, multi-layer, printed circuit

board modeling of the final electronic product.

. Researched from the ground up ways to develop thermally adequate

aluminum clad high-powered LED products with increased optical output

and decreased size.

. Supported mechanical development of the product with Solidworks

engineers and modelers through integration of printed circuit board

technologies and Altium Designer step models.

. Responsible for designing LED electronics that meet stringent DO-160G

voltage spike, inrush current, lighting strike and Electromagnetic

Noise Interference (EMI) requirements as well as FAA standards.

Assembled designs from scratch using technical knowledge in compliance

with MIL spec and AS9000 assembly standards.

. Analyzed designs to calculate Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of

electronic components as required by the customer.

. Defined Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) of LED lighting products

and produced reports for the customer.

. Compiled FMEA excel data to create Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) of

designs.

. Procured printed circuit board assembly with reliable vendors with the

goal of minimizing costs for the company.

. Simulated designs with LTspice prior to prototyping.

. Utilized Altium Designer techniques and secrets, constantly seeking to

expand knowledge and learn anything on my own that improves my circuit

board design knowledge and skills.

. Worked with AC/DC power supplies, multimeters, spectrum analyzers and

temperature sensor technology for data acquisition.

. Troubleshot defective electronic LED light units built by Oxley

assemblers utilizing analog circuitry design knowledge and basic

knowledge of 8 to 16 bit digital microcontroller programming to

determine root causes of failure on light unit.

. Determined root cause of failure for many different Oxley light units

to provide feedback for quality assurance department regarding part

defects and assembly workmanship.

. Wrote failure analysis reports for faulty product manufactured by

company to relieve fault of company from fines.

PRATT AND WHITNEY AIRCRAFT, DIV. OF UTC, East Hartford, CT April 2010 -

2011

Electrical Test Systems Engineer

Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Test Systems Engineering North Division in East

Hartford, CT creates electrical and electronic test systems for next

generation geared turbo fan powered jet engines. Pratt and Whitney

competes with General Electric in the aircraft engine market and prides

itself on its design and innovation to create engines that are more

powerful, more efficient and more reliable.

. Produced elaborate AutoCAD drawings representative of test stand

configurations for test engineers by going into the test stands and

testing continuity of different conductors coming from many different

electronic test systems within the test chambers.

. Demonstrated understanding of test stand drawings and became competent at

finding preexisting relays and cabling independently for AutoCAD

documentation.

. Revised electrical AutoCAD test stand drawings quickly and efficiently

upon request. Researched MIL specifications, cylindrical connectors

backshells and material specifications involved in electrical harness

production.

. Responsible for ensuring electrical harnesses assembled by vendors met

design requirements and were on schedule.

. Inspected harnesses for workmanship quality and pointed out discrepancies

between vendor workmanship and assembly requirements.

. Procured MIL specification electrical harness connectors from different

vendors with excellent lead times and prices, while determining

substitute connectors to be used as necessary.

. Assembled program specific Bombardier and Mitsubishi Regional Jet panels

engraved at Glastonbury engraving with connectors according to drawing

requirements.

. Reverse engineered preexisting wiring within the test stands to fix

problems.

. Labeled connector inputs and outputs in test stands to provide clarity

for senior electricians.

. Trained new employees to perform my entire job function, providing

leadership.
