Position Sought:
Consulting Engineer in the development of new and innovative devices and
projects in electronic product design or various other new technologies as outlined
in fields listed below.
Education:
Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Electrical Engineering (electronics with a
minor in nuclear engineering)
Registered Professional Engineer (PE in Electrical Engineering)
Related Experience:
Consulting engineering: Twenty years in design of about 100 new electronic
products and systems including redesign of existing projects. Current work
involves solving design and production problems for clients in large scale
consumer product manufacturing and alternate energy project investigation. I was
one of two Chief Project Engineers for constructing the Natural Bridges National
Monument Solar Power Facility and have won national energy awards from DOE
and IEEE. I have worked with many clients to generate complex project
interaction with client satisfaction. This interaction includes writing patent claims
for new client inventions, and receipt of several patents of my own.
I am currently also working with international projects in South Asia which
require considerable finesse and understanding of other cultures. They have
involved considerable travel at times for client interaction.
Besides consulting in hands on projects, I have taught a UofU EE
department class in A/D and microprocessor applications. (Includes design of
sensors, RF, IR, I/O and communications, displays and other applications. Also
includes assembly language programming and use of simulators, emulators and
programming devices) See website for details:
Salt Lake Community College: Nine years as professor of Manufacturing and
Automated Systems Technology (Full tenure). I taught both theory and
practical courses in industrial electronics, power systems, computer
applications, microcontroller programming, manufacturing technology, robotics,
hydraulics and pneumatics, and electronics quality control techniques at a
practical level. I am at home in any electronics facility with many years of work
in both engineering and field operations. I held the Department Coordinator
position when I chose to leave for full time consulting for the second time.
Ford Bacon and Davis Inc. Two years as Program Manager for Solar Power
Systems. I wrote the winning proposal to DOE for what was the world s largest
photovoltaic power plant at the time and served as Project Engineer and Project
Technical Advisor for this project on all hard questions .
LTV and EG&G: Four years in nuclear instrumentation design and
development. Worked for EG&G in Las Vegas and had highly innovative
systems I designed and constructed installed at NTS. I was granted a Q
clearance for work on nuclear weapons if required. Before working in Las Vegas,
I had one of only two licenses to operate and maintain the nuclear reactor at the
University of Utah which required considerable knowledge of all fields related to
nuclear energy.
