EXPERIENCE

Emerson Control Techniques America, Eden Prairie, Minnesota

2000 - Present

Project/Lead Engineer

Project Manager and Lead for software/firmware group developing

programmable servo drives. The firmware development is re-usable across

the several different platforms. The software development is to provide a

"Motion Made Easy" user experience.

. Instituted OOP standards for both software and firmware development.

This lead to increased re-use-ability of code allowing expansion of

product derivatives and simplify moving across multiple software and

hardware platforms.

. Oversaw the creation of the product's qualification database tool that

ensures repeatable product testing and quality. Features include:

Resource allocation, Progress tracking, Real-time reporting and quality

coverage and Test performance/history.

Created, tracked and maintained product schedules for each release. This

included: Review and schedule current marketing needs/requirements,

product issues/defects and resource allocation and scheduling

. Worked directly with customers to resolve issues and develop solutions to

meet their specific application needs. This involvement occasionally led

to new product requirements and releases. I worked with CableCam, who

makes the camera behind the quarterback in football games.

. Developed many innovating product ideas including Electronic Camming,

Timed Indexing with adjustable final velocity and Real Time programming

Software Consultant

1990 - 2000

Fisher-Rosemount, Eden Prairie, Minnesota (1998 - 1999)

Developed an object-oriented framework for next generation measurement

devices. The framework was written in hopes of simplifying future

development of systems by allowing "plug and play" of different sensors,

A/D's, LCD displays, and other hardware peripherals and to be able to

adjust the dynamic interaction of these peripherals independently of the

software components that controlled them. The framework had the ability to

scale down for use in applications as small as 48k.

Imation, Oakdale, Minnesota (1997 - 1998)

Developed PCI based fiber optic communications cards for medical imaging

equipment. Design included ALTERA programmable logic devices.

Data Card, Minnetonka, Minnesota (1995 - 1997)

Developed firmware for a low cost high reliable credit card personalizer.

firmware controlled the operation of several stepper motors which moved and

printed the credit card.

analyzer tool.

The Trane Company, Little Canada, Minnesota (1993 - 1994)

link. Software allowed devices to be reprogrammed as well as searching

link for active devices. Software was written using Microsoft C++.

Forward Technologies, Plymouth, Minnesota (1993)

Developed automatic tester for STD bus micro-controller based A/D card.

Work included proposal concept design and software/hardware design. The

tester was PC based. Software written using Borland C++.

Spectra Computer Systems, North St. Paul, Minnesota (1992 - 1993)

Software development for equipment used to measure thickness of ceramic

paste used for integrated circuits. The device used a Cyber Optics Laser

which was moved across the paste with a stepper motor. All measured

thicknesses were saved in ASCII format so that it could be read by Lotus.
