SUMMARY OF WORK EXPERIENCE

11 years in Automotive Electronics

Senior Staff Engineer, Continental Corporation (Formerly Chrysler, and

Siemens)Huntsville AL

As Senior Staff engineer in the powertrain controller group, I have been

responsible for design to customer specification, supervising the

generation of documentation for engine/transmission controllers, including

schematics and pcb artwork, implementing design changes, releasing

production documentation, and providing test engineering and lab

technicians with procedures for trouble shooting, and test requirements.

Interfacing with the customer for design reviews, and specification

requirements, scheduling of prototype builds and deliveries, writing

specifications for new components, and testing modules from initial builds

was also required. I also performed failure analysis of product at various

phases of development, determining root cause, and initiating corrective

action. Once product was in full production it was periodically necessary

to work with manufacturing personnel to make changes for manufacturability.

Working directly with project managers I was responsible for meeting

customer schedules as well as our internal schedules and project timelines.

Prior years

For many years I provided consulting engineering services for companies in

Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and South Carolina designing new products. During

that time I designed a waste water sampling system to EPA requirements

that would work beyond the physical limitation ( 30 ft. ) of above

ground suction pumps.

Provided the design and prototyped the electronics for a

microcontroller based control system for an adjustable air amplifier

used in a ventilator for patients with breathing disorders. Designed

the air amplifier for injection molding for economy. Wrote the

software for monitoring patients breathing cycles, and adjusting and

maintaining air flow and pressure to preset values, and detecting the

patients changeover from inspiratory to expiratory, and vice versa.

Designed the electronics, and the packaging of a miniature ultra-clean

ionizer for control of static charges in IC wafer fabrication. The

design consisted of a positive and negative 5,000 volt power supply, and

an analog feedback circuit to maintain balanced output of positive

and negative ions housed in a 2"X3"x.75" package.

Director of Engineering: Responsible for production testing and quality

control of products for preventing generation of electrostatic

charges (ionizers, grounding wrist straps, clean room ionization system,

and monitoring devices). Also responsible for the design and production

engineering of new products such as a particle free (sub micron) clean

room ionization system.
