Continuity Testing

Writing Documentation for Quality Control and test procedures

Responsible for quality control of systems using Rockwell Automation technology

Interaction with customers and vendors to insure quality processes and products

Rockwell Collins – Avionics Engineer: 2009 -- 2010

Troubleshooting electronics to the component level.

Calibration, testing and troubleshooting of circuits, components, instruments and mechanical

assemblies.

Raised service center productivity to a level where a backlog of HGS units were

shipped to customers yielding a revenue of $1.4 million dollars to the company.

Within three months of my hire date, my productivity resulted in the TAT, (Turn

around time) being significantly reduced and the backlog of overhead units were

also reduced.

Serviced Overhead display technology projecting flight guidance symbology onto

holographic combiners. This is the head-up guidance technology offered by

Rockwell Collins.

Serviced video, high voltage, and low voltage electronics.

Sage Technologies – Electrical Engineer: 2007 – 2009

Built test apparatus to test avionics modules.

Developed a written methodology for debugging and repairing production

transponders that was so successful that a backlog of 160 transponders were all

shipped to customers and generated $800,000 not previously realized

Wrote a test procedure as a Microsoft Windows application and C#, that reduced

required technician hours by an estimated 26,000 hours per year.

Raised the level of productivity in avionics such in way, that a record breaking level

of module production emerged two months after my hire date.

Built, tested, and debugged avionics, RF transceivers and transponders.

Wrote technical documents that included that include a more complete accounting

of best know methods, thereby lowering the defect rate of avionics modules

Debugged RF circuitry with spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other

equipment

Design and drafting using AutoCAD 2009 – Electrical diagrams and aerodynamic

components

Intel Corporation – Mask Design Engineer: 1997 – 2007

3

Developed techniques in domino circuitry that enabled the fastest part of the chip to

be clocked 15% faster, thereby raising the performance above and beyond the

business competition

Wrote reliability verification software in Perl that provided designers with sufficiently

improved data that it enabled the project to complete four weeks ahead of the

projected schedule.

Solved what was considered an intractable routing problem and saved the project

two to three weeks and according to management, saved the company two million

dollars in direct research and development costs plus an unknown amount in

market share.

Received a special recognition award from upper management for making quality

improvements that impacted an entire 400 plus person development team.

Developed CMOS layout through the use of Cadence and Intel CAD tools.

Used and developed -- digital, analog, different varieties of domino, and static

technologies.

Drew a style of domino layout that required very exact placement, shielding, and

capacitance limitations – developed and used the unique skills required to make

this layout to work.

Pioneered the use of layout tools where I tested layout software that was still in

development – provided feedback to developers when appropriate.

Analogy – Quality Assurance Engineer: 1995 – 1997

Developed a regression test suite that accelerated product development by

ensuring legacy functionality while allowing the integration of new functionality. The

regression test suite was judged by management to accelerate the beta release of

Electronic Design Automation software by two months.

Based on user scenarios, requirements and input from engineers, wrote functional

specifications for features of software applications and hardware devices.

Investigated the nature and probable cause of bugs. Entered clear description of

bugs into bug tracking database. Followed through to resolution. Tracked bugs,

reported trends, and made recommendations for meeting completion dates.
