Professional Experience

Advanced Mechanical Products, Cincinnati, OH 2009 to 2010

1 Electrical Integration Engineer, vehicle electrification

One of three electrical engineers responsible for technical resolution and

trouble-shooting during conversion of factory vehicles into plug-in

electrics.

. Assist in trouble shooting and development of prototype car.

. Consulted on control strategies of dual driver traction motors, 100 HP.

. Consulted on vehicle integration including the J1939 bus (vehicle CAN).

Delphi Electronics & Safety, Kokomo, IN 1995 to 2009

2 Senior Project Engineer, Hybrid vehicle electrical design

2007 to 2009

One of six hardware engineers responsible for production design of

accessory power module and inverter for the BAS plus program. This

was for application in light hybrid GM vehicles.

. Redesigned resolver interface electronics used in hybrid vehicles to

solve customer noise issue.

. Identified problem creating excessive testing delays and collaborated

with software engineer to correct root cause. Improved test validation

process and by eliminating test bottleneck which resulted in 1.7% savings

in test time. Prevented false failures expediting deliveries to customer.

. Recognized for personal contribution with bonus (gift card) in meeting

challenging customer deadline by streamlining testing process.

3 Senior Project Engineer, Restraint System Engineering

1999 to 2007

Member of forward system group supporting advanced development, proposal

preparation, and concept validation.

. Developed camera interface unit for occupant detection application in

automobiles.

. Identified solution to excessive power dissipation of LED illumination

which resulted in a patent. (Led driver current amplifier - US Patent

7038594)

. Identified conceptual error in seat detection electronics that permitted

successful production of PODS-C which resulted in co-invention patent.

(Shielded capacitive load cell apparatus responsive to weight applied to

a vehicle seat - US Patent 7119705)

4 Senior Project Engineer, Instrumentation Hardware Engineering

1995 to 1999

Responsible for electrical design of vehicle instrumentation used by GM

engineers for calibration and to validate vehicle algorithms.

. Developed non-intrusive processor bus monitoring to capture algorithm

variables.

. Designed power supply for the Ethernet Interface Adapter.

. Designed high-speed digital bus interface for the Memory Interface

Adapter using Altera FPGA devices and Lattice CPLD devices.

. Designed the Logging Memory Module which was a vehicle data recorder. The

LMM included a logging memory processor and dual-port interface.

. Awarded bonus for dedicated commitment to schedule on delivery of IDEA

CPU32 per-prototype and prototype hardware.

Delco Systems Operations, Goleta, CA 1983 to 1995

5 Senior Project Engineer, Fire control engineering

6 Delco Systems Operations designed navigation systems for aircraft and

weapon fire control systems for military vehicles and aircraft. I worked on

both classified and unclassified programs.

. Designed embedded processor, 80C186 for the control of a DC motor for

scanning system that was classified.

. Supported 6 month field assignment on classified program doing validation

testing all hours of the day including weekends.

. Designed the data acquisition system for the Gun Ship Program.

. Designed the data acquisition system for prototype Hemispherical

Resonating Gyro. This was intended for an extremely accurate (1 PPM, 1

uRadian) space based navigation system.
