Position of interest:

Manager position -- with a team of dedicated, creative professionals

driving innovation and business development.

Introduction:

My 25 years in the high-tech electronics industry have provided me

with a diverse range of skills, experiences and opportunities. My first 13

years were spent with Photometrics LTD, a start-up scientific imaging

company in Tucson, AZ. I was the 12th person hired there and stayed as the

company grew to over 130 employees. The most rewarding facet of this

position was the fact that we built the best scientific imaging systems in

the world, we were the standard that those who followed measured themselves

against. The most valuable facet of this part of my career was the broad

range of experience I gained. My electronic skill set was honed with the

mentoring of first class engineers as I worked my way through the ranks

from Technician I to Engineer II. We all did a little of everything, with

extensive R&D, and as a result I learned many other skills needed to help

the company succeed. These are a few of those skills: metal lathe

operation, milling machine operation, cryogenic technology, clean room

technology, ESD technology, fiber optic bonding, high vacuum technology and

semi-conductor cleaning processes. I also had the pleasure of meeting and

working with some of the world's most renowned scientists as I helped to

trouble-shoot and/or integrate systems with their equipment.

The CEO asked me to manage the production test department for 1 year

when the backlog became excessive, needing strong leadership and guidance.

I was successful in eliminating a 6 month backlog and then transferred back

into the R&D engineering department to enjoy the rewards of advancing

imaging technology.

I was recruited by MIT/Lincoln Laboratories ETS (Socorro, NM) a few

years later due to my design experience on a camera we designed for them,

under contract to the USAF, to be used for space surveillance. Here I set-

up a complete state of the art camera maintenance lab and assembled 2 spare

systems for MIT to use for their near earth asteroid search (LiNEAR)

program.
