WORK EXPERIENCE
Lab Manager Aurora International Test Laboratory, Aurora, OH (7/10 – present)
Responsible for laboratory's purchasing and annual budget. Supervise lab
personnel and conduct performance reviews. Oversee outside commercial
testing.
Lab Engineer Aurora International Test Laboratory, Aurora, OH (10/07 – 6/10)
Developed automated tests for Energy Star qualification of compact fluorescent
lamps. Provided direction for lab technicians. Maintained document control for
lab audits.
Test Engineer TB Woods Inc., Chambersburg, PA (5/00 – 9/07)
Main responsibility entailed using LabVIEW to create programs that
automatically test AC motor drives. Developed programs to validate software
and conduct performance testing. Lab duties that include building proto-type
circuit boards and assisting R&D engineers with testing procedures.
Construction Inspector PennDOT, Mercer, PA (6/97 – 8/97)
Tested quality of cement used in building bridges. Recorded daily amount of
materials (asphalt, guard rail) used in road construction.
EXAMPLE PROJECT: AUTOMATED THERMAL TESTING
Problem: New AC drives need testing in a thermal chamber and under load. The process took many hours in
which technicians spent a lot of their daily time babysitting the tests.
Solution: Using LabVIEW I automated the thermal testing which involved controlling multiple devices: AC
drives, load dynes, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition units. My final design allowed the technicians to setup a
series of tests that could be run without manual oversight. The data was collected and graphed in MS Excel.
Benefit: Testing time was cut in half because tests could be run overnight and on weekends. Technicians were free
to work on other projects. Remote monitoring was even built in to control the tests from a home PC.
