SUMMARY

High potential Electrical Engineer with 16 years of experience.

Expert PCB designer with understanding of circuit design.

Experienced in managing and training teams.

Highly motivated, results oriented EE with extensive hands on

experience in high speed multilayer PCB layout. Team player, motivated self

starter, strong leadership and organizational skills. Good communicator.

Excellent problem solving abilities. Proven to deliver quality designs

ahead of schedule and within budget. Fast and effective at acquiring new

skills.

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS

* Key driver in doubling his employer's gross sales:

Took initiative to thoroughly study a transmitter circuit in order to

identify the sources of EMI.

Used that insight to design a PCB for a VCSEL fiber optics transceiver

that achieved the best performance on the market during EMI and EMC

tests.

The company's gross sales went from $10M to $20M in one year, based

largely on the success of that line of products. (OCP/Oplink).

* Greatly increased the efficiency and accuracy of the company's

design process:

Demonstrated leadership initiating and managing the transition of the CAD

system in use from AutoCAD to PADS.

Laid a strong foundation for the company's subsequent rapid growth.

(OCP/Oplink).

* Reduced manufacturing costs:

Skillfully redesigned PCBs using less layers than were used in previous

designs, typically 6 layers instead of 8, or 8 layers instead of 12. The

designs were compliant with IPC 6012 Class 3 requirements (used in

military, avionics and medical systems).

The cost of PCBs was reduced by a factor of 30%. (BAE Systems).

* Supervised and trained a team of CAD engineers performing PCB

design and development. (OCP/Oplink).

DEMONSTRATED WORKING SKILLS

PCB LAYOUT

Designed high density multilayer complex PCB layouts for experimental

and production use, performing at RF and high speed up to 10Ghz, requiring

the design of controlled impedances and length matching traces. Layouts

included analog, digital, mixed signal, power supplies, fine pitch BGA ICs,

surface mounted devices, thru-hole components, etc.

Maintained schematic symbols and PCB footprints

Generated complete documentation in support of manufacturing of PCBs

and PCAs (PCBAs): Gerbers, Drill Files, parts lists, BOMs, assembly

drawings.

Designed and modified MCM layouts.

(PADS PowerPCB, PADS Layout, AutoCAD).

TEAM WORK

Participated in all aspects of product life cycle including product

design, development, schedule, manufacture, and evolution in the market.

Collaborated with Mechanical Engineers to resolve power and thermal

management issues.

Collaborated with manufacturing specialists to reduce production costs

and improve product performance and reliability.

(Demonstrated Working Skills, continuation)

CIRCUIT DESIGN

Designed and modified digital, analog, mixed signal, power

supplies, and embedded systems using FPGAs, microprocessors, etc.

Performed troubleshooting and field testing of integration of

prototypes with other systems.

(Mentor Graphics PADS Logic, PADS PowerLogic, OrCAD).

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Electrical Design Engineer, BAE Systems www.baesystems.com (1 Year, Santa

Clara, CA).

CAD/Design Engineer and CAD Group Leader, Optical Communication Products,

(now OCP/Oplink) http://www.oplink.com/ocp/ocp_main.asp (8 Years, Woodland

Hills, CA).

Expert AutoCAD Operator, Sergio Zeballos Architect (1 Year, Santa Monica,

CA).

Design Engineer, ANTEL R&D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANTEL (7 Years,

Montevideo, Uruguay).

EDUCATION

MSEE, University of the Republic of Uruguay, 1988.

* Received the highest grade for a Master Thesis after designing

an embedded microprocessor based system (with analog interfaces for signal

conditioning, plus ADCs and DACs for A/D conversion) to acquire and process

traffic data from electromechanical telephone exchanges.

The design was sponsored and built by employer. (ANTEL).
