Professional Experience

MS Kennedy, Inc.

Liverpool, NY

Manufacturer of hybrid microelectronics for military and space applications

Applications Engineer 2010-Present

. Responsible for resolving customer issues and questions primarily

regarding linear and switching regulator designs.

. Perform phase and gain analysis on the regulator circuits for defense

contractors and NASA to help ensure stability under application

specific conditions to avoid the release of conditionally stable

designs.

. Design and optimization of application circuits for space and military

POL (Point of Load) power designs.

. Write application notes and specification sheets for MSK devices.

SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging 2005-2010

Southbridge, MA

Manufacturer of fiber optic assemblies and LED/Halogen based light sources

for medical, Industrial, military, and Microscopy applications.

Electrical Design Engineer

. Responsible for analog electronics and mechanical designs for several

projects. Continuing my experience from LazerData/PSC, I designed

several operational amplifier circuits and current regulation circuits

for driving LED's as well as testing light guides and power supplies.

. Developed a three axis fiber winding machine using Gallil brushless

motion controls and a LabView GUI. I also developed and automated

light line calibration machine-patent pending-that used CCD image data

and servo and solenoid controls to automatically scan and score the

glass of a fiber optic light line to calibrate the relative intensity

along the line. This machine has gained world-wide acceptance within

SCHOTT as the standard for consistent quality.

. Customer interface was also required with the inherent project

management responsibilities that accompanied the projects I was

assigned. I was instrumental in bringing new business in excess of 10%

of the groups annual revenues with a single project were my technical

interface and diligence with the customer was pivotal to its success.

. Developed a strong report with internal and external sales staff to

expedite our response to our customer's technical needs.

TRW Automotive Electronics Group 2003-2005

Auburn, NY

Tier one supplier of automotive electronics to various automotive OEM's

New Program Engineer

. Responsible for the integration of tire pressure monitoring equipment

into various automotive platforms throughout the US, Europe, and Asia.

. Worked with Honda, Toyota, TRW engineering, and production extensively

to provide sufficient validation requirements for release into the

Honda Odyssey and the RL. This included customer visits and

presentations, as well as internal program management and follow

through to make sure what left the floor was what was validated and

true design intent.

PSC Automation, Inc. (Lazerdata Products Group) 1990-2001

Orlando, FL (1990-1994) / Sanford, FL (1994-19997) / Webster, NY (1997-

2001)

Designer, manufacturer, and integrator of bar code scanning, and other AIDC

equipment.

Sr. Electrical Engineer (1998-2001)

. Responsible for UL 1950 and FCC class B approvals and design

optimization for four million dollar scanner installation for UPS in

Rockford. Illinois. Also responsible for primary power distribution

and signal conditioning for all products.

. Project Manager for Model 770/770I SureScan omni directional scanner,

while designing three circuit boards in parallel-from concept through

gerbers, and while coordinating the release of two products. Designs

included operational amplifiers, comparators, photonics, and power

circuits.

. Incorporated 635nm technology into a scanning solution for the USPS

Singulator project in Springfield Massachusetts, which provided six-

sided performance unmatched at the time.

. Assisted production with test fixture design, component level

troubleshooting, and optical measuring devices, as well as production

processes, procedures, and test plans.

Electrical Engineer (1993-1998)

. Developed industry specific knowledge and trade secrets specific to

increasing spot to bar ratios and operational amplifier driven

transversal functions to enhance system performance-specifically depth

of field without the use of costly and unreliable mechanical auto-

focus systems.

. Helped develop optical alternating focus schemes to increase depth of

field by modulating VLD's.

. Developed PCB and AutoCAD design skills to supplement the skill set of

the department.

. Developed cost effective application of avalanche photodiode

technology with a methodology for manufacturable and accurate thermal

calibration.

. Developed intelligent signal tracking schemes and optical filtering to

increase dynamic range without quantizing background noise. Thresholds

were dynamically adjusted using op amp circuits and logic to maximize

signal to noise while also increasing dynamic range.

. Developed synchronized DC brushless motor controls to prevent beam

collisions from adjacent scanners.

Jr. Engineer (1990-1993)

. Assisted in the design, release, and production of Lazertrak ,

Hawkeye , SureScan Model 990 omni directional, and the

LD6000/8000/9000 line scanner bar code scanning products.

. Assisted production, service, sales, and field representatives in the

understanding of new engineering releases and troubleshooting.

. Acquired industry specific knowledge and AIDC equipment experience.

Additional Training

. Naval Advanced Electronics Training Program (1980-1982)

. Naval RF Data Equipment Maintenance Program (1982-1983)

. Skilled in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, SAP/MRP Systems, and

many others.
