SUMMARY

Results-oriented researcher and designer of electrical processes. Proven,

mature, designs, layout, and test in serial production for up to twenty years at

three major manufacturers. Technically proficient in electrical engineering

principles for problem solving, process design and optimization. Major

strengths in design from a statement of work and create problem free interfaces

with other designs. Created high-level architecture, developed schematics and

wrote product fabrication specifications, troubleshooting procedures. Designed

high and low voltage DC to DC power supplies for multiple platform types

including flight hardware, ground mobile and motor control applications. Well-

organized, innovative and effective communicator. Computer skills include:

Office Tools.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

GENERAL DYNAMICS LAND SYSTEMS Oct. 2005 – Aug. 2013

2930 Commonwealth blvd., Tallahassee, Fl 32303

Sr. Engineering Specialist Electrical

Created state-of-the-art 15 KW step-down DC/DC converter (using IGBT bridge

switching mode) to replace obsolete hardware. Provide technical consultation

to resolve the problems and allowed General Dynamics Land Systems to meet

delivery schedule. Ported this design from ground mobile to flight hardware by

redesigning products for higher and lower temperatures.

Redesigned Bradley transmission controller to interface, and to be backward

compatible with, existing hardware. This redesign interfaced with technology

ranging from decades old to modern day. Worked with test engineering to

design 100% in-circuit verification test.

Designed complex ten cards backplane to interface with approximately 300

signals. Oversaw prototype construction, test, troubleshooting and delivery.

Wrote interface control document and product fabrication specification with and

associated cards. Also worked with test engineering to design 100% in-circuit

verification test. Obsolescence components analyses and provided engineering

recommendations with redesign to enhance/improve Line Replaceable Units

for Stryker vehicles.

SMITHS AEROSPACE, ELECTRICAL POWER 1996 – 2005

740 East National Rd., Vandalia, Ohio 45377

Design Engineer

Design and support the following programs for Military Aerospace Aircraft in

compliance with DO-254 standards.

F/A-18 E/F Cost Reduction Incentive – Redesign and repackage the DC portion

of the Generator Control Unit to provide DC outputs to the Essential Bus Backup

unit and two Flight Critical units as well as preparation of the Test Requirement

Document.

Global Hawk Generator Converter Control Unit – Design, modify, and test the

Control / Protection Circuit Card Assembly.

F/A-18 E/F - Prepared the Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis Report

and the Test Requirement Documentation for eight SRAs of the Generator

Control Unit.

V-22 – Engineering technical support and prepared equipment part list data

item.

LYTTON ELECTRONICS 1993 – 1996

1784 Stanley Av., Dayton, Ohio 45404

Product Engineer

Supported production to meet delivery schedule by analyzing legacy designs

and troubleshooting problems. Performed interpretation of analog and digital

schematics to successfully resolve hundreds of issues ranging from

workmanship to bad/incorrect components to hidden design flaws.

WPAFB & WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY 1992 – 1993

Dayton, Ohio

Research & Design and Laboratory Instructor

Researched, designed and built various power converter topologies for a bi-

directional PWM DC/DC power converter. Designed, built, tested and delivered

a working prototype that was later used on the F-22. Published article and

wrote internal white paper.
