OBJECTIVE:

To exercise initiative and problem solving skills and develop these attributes in others.

ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE:

Achievements:

Professional Engineer, #9336, New Jersey, (Retired, renewable with payment of yearly fees)

Two publications in IEEE Transactions

Instituted major improvements in the design and production of rotating components used in analogue control systems, with an emphasis on quality improvement and production cost reductions

Provided procedures for calibrating optical systems while in a vacuum chamber simulating a space environment

Introduced the inclusion of solid lubricants in graphite brushes currently used in electrical machinery resulting in no longer requiring the cleaning or refinishing of slip rings or commutators. This was initiated by the need to lubricate the graphite brushes on the Surveyor Spacecraft's Surface Sampler DC motors

Employment:

1985 - 1990

McDonnell Douglas Electronic Systems, Monrovia, CA

Senior Engineer - Technology

Responsible for the performance of the OH58 Kiowa Helicopter Mast Mounted Sight control systems, and training test technicians in trouble-shooting and corrective actions during the first two years of production

Responsible Engineer for the F-14 Infrared Seeker/Tracker prototypes.

Responsible Engineer for the experimental prototype of the infrared submarine wake detector deployed on the P3-Orion aircraft

Designed the cagers for free-gyro optics subjected to severe accelerations

Provided a method to determined the rotor shape for parametric reluctance alternators

Responsible for the procurement of a space-qualified precision rate table in order to calibrate the pointing accuracy of a telescope placed in synchronous orbit
