Starfire Engineering & Technologies, Inc., Lawrence, Kansas

Director of Engineering/Project Engineer, May 1992 - November 1995, March

2002 - June 2004

Solicited national and international customers for engineering projects.

Prepared and delivered cost estimates for projects. Interacted with

customers during pre-engineering conferences. Supervised engineering and

drafting staff. Trained engineers to perform electrical, structural, and

stress analyses of railway equipment. Customer liaison for project status

and feedback.

Developed and performed stress analyses for the Association of American

Railroads (AAR) submission for the Rule 88 upgrade and upgrades from 70

ton Gross Rail Load (GRL) to 100 ton GRL for freight cars. Developed

MathCAD routines to perform structural analyses of freight and passenger

cars and locomotives. Supervised and/or analyzed new car designs of

boxcars, gondola cars, hopper cars, intermodal cars, and heavy-duty flat

cars.

Designed and analyzed the structure of rail freight cars, passenger cars,

and locomotives using classical and finite element methods. The finite

element analyses (FEA) included linear elastic, nonlinear elastic,

nonlinear plastic, nonlinear large deflections, and nonlinear material

properties. Developed FEA models with over 150,000 elements.

to the existing microwave systems. Cleared the FCC allocated frequency

block spectrum for a CDMA channel for the Sprint PCS Major Trading Areas

(MTAs). Determined the CDMA channel that would require relocation of the

least number of incumbent microwave paths which saved the company several

hundred thousand dollars in relocation costs.

Provided on-site hands-on training of interference calculation software to

Sprint PCS MTA RF engineers and managers. Provided on-site hands-on

training in the FCC mandated Prior Coordination Notice (PCN) procedures to

RF personnel of several Sprint PCS markets.
