SUMMARY

Nine years experience as an electrical design engineer, seven as a

synchronous AC machine and PMG designer and two in electrical distribution.

Eight years experience as a maintenance and industrial construction

electrician.

Primary responsibilities were New Product Development support for generator

sets, including the 12-17RES, Yanmar Marine, John Deere and GM gas

industrial product. This included cost reductions, product improvement, and

design development. Worked with Manufacturing, Marketing, Purchasing,

Quality Control, Field Services and other engineering disciplines in a

gated NPD process.

My specialty in PMG and Synchronous AC alternator design: UL insulation

systems, efficiency improvements, cost reductions, and improved cooling for

higher current densities/ ratings for alternators. I used Finite Element

Analysis computer to accelerate new product development.
