CONTRACT ENGINEER: Covidien. Recruited through Kelly Services, Boulder,

CO, 4/2014 - 5/2014 Worked on an AC to DC design to power a corded medical

instrument that was originally battery powered. Trained technician for

required testing.

CONSULTING ENGINEER - QSC Systems, Inc: Longmont, CO for Newmont Mining

Corp

Electronic Design Engineering: Redesign system hardware for a ground based

measurement system. Redesign to include some hardware design, schematic

capture, and PCB layout.

CONSULTING ELECTRICAL ENGINEER - Woodward Governor: Fort Collins, CO

Recruited through Oxford International - 3/2012 - 10/2012.

Recruited through Adecco Technical - 4/2004 to 7/2008 also 1/2010 to 4/2010

Performed power supply design for more output wattage in less space, VHDL

programming for FPGA interface to VME bus, and design for PLD data

collection. Diagnosed EMI failures on two different designs, and

implemented changes to include PCB layout to resolve issues. Designed new

speed channel and analog/digital input for new safety project to meet SIL4

standards (Safety Integrity Level). Simulated all designs in Orcad's

Pspice for margin analysis. Created white box test plans for hardware

testing, and new Visio diagrams for documentation.

CONSULTING ENGINEER - Self Employed: Berthoud, CO, for Newmont Mining

Corp

6/2010 - 11/2011, 1/2012 - 5/2012: Designed new electronic training mat

for HR group training, to include software monitoring on a laptop computer.

7/2003, 1/2007, 1/2009 - 6/2009: Redesign system hardware for a ground

based measurement system. Redesign to include some hardware design,

schematic capture, PCB layout, and system testing. Assembled and tested

airborne receiver and transmitter systems. Systems were designed around

PC104 architecture. Transmitter was 24KW with 20% duty cycle at once per

second. One receiver measured the ground resistivity by measuring the

decay of the pulse, and the second receiver measured changes in the earth's

magnetic field. GPS receivers were used for location.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER - Coleman Powermate: Longmont, CO 3/2001 - 12/2001.

Co-designed permanent magnet variable speed generators and 5 KW power

inverters. Designed system monitor for 25 KW generators. PCB layout for

both systems. Created original part numbering tracking system for

schematic to layout to BOM; saving a four hour check time down to five

minutes.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - Baseline Industries: Lyons, CO 9/1996 -

3/2001

Designed new digital/analog platform for multiple sensor types and multiple

output monitor connections using PC104 architecture. Design was modular

and could be loaded for a basic unit to a full blown gas analyzer.

Firmware was able to identify modules and adjust display monitor. This

design saved the company from building multiple platforms in production.

Designed two modules with common pulse width modulator (PWM) for

temperature control 0.2 C) and a gas flow electromechanical valve

0.2 cc ). Both were temperature compensated for external temperature

fluctuations. Analyzers passed both emissions (EMI) and CSA approvals.

Analyzer communications in isolated RS232/485. Complete PCB design of

platform and modules.
