ELECTRO MECHANICAL ENGINEER: STRONG IN DIGITAL HARDWARE

DEVELOPMENT VIA PCB LAYOUT, SCHEMATIC CAPTURE AND CAD DESIGN OF

MECHANICAL HARDWARE TO ACHIEVE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FROM INCEPTION

TO WORKING PROTOTYPE WITH A CONSTANT EYE TOWARDS MINIMIZING COST

WHILE MAXIMIZING FUNCTIONALITY DURING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Feb 1995 Digital Imaging Technology Inc.

TO PRESENT 2275 RESEARCH BLVD, ROCKVILLE, MD 20850 301-***-****

ELECTRO MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Digital hardware circuit design via OrCAD Layout, for imbedded

microprocessor designs and core structures using FPGA, MIPS and

DDR2, requiring tuned hi speed bus architectures.

Schematic Development via OrCAD Capture CIS.

Work closely with Senior Digital Hardware Engineer on new design

development, and provide hardware support to Software Engineers

during development of new designs, as well as ongoing support for

older designs.

Adept at microscopic prototype assembly, diagnostics & micro

assembly modifications.

CAD development of mechanical devices and or mounting hardware for

PCB support. Machined working prototype samples in-house whenever

applicable.

Design and develop in-house bed-of-nails test platforms for

production assembly manufacture, thereby greatly reducing

development cost.

Design and develop digital test hardware for product integration

Performed FCC, CE, UL related pre-compliance engineering design

implementation to reduce RF emissions, RF immunity, Conducted

Susceptibility and ESD protection, thus reducing the amount of lab

time required to become certified.

Provide on-site lab support for FCC, CE & UL compliance testing.

This entails on-the-go problem-solving to develop workable

solutions to problem areas during the test phase, thus greatly

reducing the need to reschedule multiple attempts for

certification.

Test and certify designs to Energy Star standards, thus

eliminating the need to outsource product testing required for

Energy Star certification. Modify older designs to comply with

Energy Star Standards.

Wrote user guide and maintenance manuals via Adobe Frame Maker.

Construct drawings for product certification data plates via Adobe

Illustrator.

Construct automated reports for Energy Star and Blue Angel

compliance via Microsoft Excel.

Researched, approved and purchased components, for prototype &

pre-production design development.

Create and maintain bill of materials list. Provide continuing

support as a helpdesk function to PCB manufacturing

Other duties: interoffice IT support, build and deploy work

stations, maintain Servers. Create and maintain engineering

debugging and development hardware platforms.
