EMPLOYMENT OBJECTIVE
Senior Electronics Technician seeks full-time position utilizing
Electronics skills.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Field Returns Engineering Technician
August 2010 through June 2011, Research In Motion,
Sunrise, Florida
In the Field Quality and Return Analysis (Deep-Dive) Department helped
analyze the latest BlackBerry smartphone. The analysis involved pre-
production units and field return units from the USA, Canada and Great
Britain. Research and Development and the Materials Laboratory helped us
with some of the problems found with the mechanics, hardware and software.
Used Microsoft Office applications, Oracle based products and in house
software to help analyze and document our findings. The findings were
reported with the objective of raising quality and reliability and lowering
the numbers of field returns.
Electronics Technician IV
June 2003 through July 2009, ADTS and Dynalco, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida
In the Non-Warranty Field Returns Department troubleshot and repaired
mainly microprocessor-based products down to the component level. Various
generations of baler, air/fuel ratio, ignition, governor and steam turbine
controllers, speed switches, temperature scanners and current to pressure
electro-mechanical transducers were worked on. The ignition controllers
included a switching power supply assembly. Most products included modem
circuits to communicate with personal computers. Some units were calibrated
to custom specifications. Agriculture, oil and gas, stationary engines,
trains, city governments and regional government agencies used the
equipment. Used Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook and communicated with
Customer Service. The average profit margin was 80% and most repairs where
done by the promised time, with almost no returns and no safety incidents.
Senior Electronics Technician
January 1994 through October 2002, Accustaff and Motorola,
Plantation, Florida
In manufacturing troubleshot, microprocessor based two-way radios down to
the component level. I worked on Low Band, Mid Band, VHF, UHF1, UHF2, 800
MHz, R Band and 900 MHz versions. Radios were conventional or trunked,
close or open architecture, secure or non-secure and modulation was analog
or digital. Used communications equipment to test and troubleshoot. Used
computers with DOS and Windows applications to flash, load programs, and
tune and test radios. Used UNIX applications to enter the analysis and
monitor manufacturing processes. Helped fix manufacturing mistakes and
train some co-workers for board analysis. Helped Manufacturing run more
efficient and lower the cost of the product. Found a quicker way to test
secure boards, reducing test time from eight minutes to one minute.
Electronics Technician IV
1978 through 1993, Cordis and Telectronics,
Miami, Florida
In the Development Engineering Laboratory, helped prototype, debug and
characterize cardiac pacemakers. Engineering logbooks were used to document
the sensitivity with adjustable delay step functions and one-shot
haversines. The effects of varying load types, power supply voltage and
operating temperature was documented. Saline was used to simulate the heart
and the human body to document the effects of defibrillation, EMI and RF
electrocautery on the pacemakers. Programming field maps of pacemakers were
documented. A Basic program was written to correct the pacemaker A/D raw
Hex data.
In the Component and Reliability Laboratory helped evaluate components and
pacemakers. Monitored accelerated life tests. Shock, vibration and thermal
cycling were performed per military specifications. Designed with the help
of others, a reliable fixture for testing surface mount capacitors and a
setup that exposed pacemakers to bursts of high gauss AC. Problems with
components failing excessively in Manufacturing were solved by our Team.
Norland digital scope programs and C based RS1 procedures were written and
modified HP Basic ATE manufacturing program to perform uncommon tests.
In the Failure Analysis Laboratory helped analyze returned cardiac
pacemakers. A report was written for every pacemaker analyzed. C based RS1
procedure was written to help interpret pacemaker Hex data.
FORMAL EDUCATION
University of Miami, Miami, Florida
Some second and third year Electrical Engineering courses were completed,
including a microprocessor machine language programming course.
Miami Dade Community College, Miami, Florida
A.A. degree was awarded. The non-technician courses qualified for most of
the first two years of Electrical Engineering at the University of Miami.
A.S. degree in Electronics Technology was awarded.
