and units testing. Extensive experience in troubleshooting analog and digital circuits to component level,

boards and units repair.

RELATED EXPERIENCE

ThermoFisher Scientific, Wilmington, MA November 2011- present

Senior Electronic Technician

Electronic equipment design and development (ESD test equipment, including pulse generators

and pulse detectors, up to 12KV stress level, sub-nanosecond rise time). Components selection,

schematic capture, prototyping, BOM, and manufacturing follow-up.

Ongoing equipment testing, troubleshooting, and electronic schematics analysis (newly

developed for failure prevention, manufactured boards and units on customer support request).

Intel Inc., Hudson, MA 2005 – October 2011

PCB Repair Lab Technician 2009 – October 2011

Analyzed and repaired Printed Circuit Boards and other electronic units:

Estimated board/unit reparability, identified components and recreated board/unit

schematics (as needed for legacy boards).

Created programs to automate PCB testing, using Huntron Tracker and Access Prober.

Troubleshooted to component level, replaced defective through-hole and surface-mount

components. Selected replacements for obsolete components.

Created troubleshooting procedures and auxiliary test units for recurring failures.

Designed and implemented in-house units and systems to resolve manufacturing equipment

problems (slow alarm response, lacking or inadequate tool status indication, maintenance

procedures electrical hazard).

Additional responsibilities included:

Repairs and Parts databases management.

Response to Machine Down situations as needed, providing maintenance technicians

with electronic and troubleshooting expertise.

Manufacturing Technician 2005-2009

Operated semiconductor-manufacturing equipment.

Maintained, troubleshooted, and repaired electronic, electromechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic

units.

Developed UNIX scripts to navigate log directories and analyze diagnostic data. These scripts

simplify and streamline operating procedures, and minimize human errors.

United States Postal Service, N Reading, Ma 2003 – 2005

Electronics Technician

Performed full range of diagnostics, preventive maintenance, alignment and calibration tasks on both

hardware and software for a variety of complex mail processing systems.

Performed documentation review (system requirements, customer documentation), as a

system verification team representative. Modified documentation if needed.

Developed test plans and test cases for the acceptance, progression, and regression testing of

newly developed telecommunication systems.

Created test programs for automated testers (multichannel call generators). Conducted

system and unit tests.

Provided in-depth failure analysis, using programmable call generators, digital scopes, and

signal analyzers.

Assisted developers in reproducing failures.

Designed custom cables and auxiliary units for failure emulation during system testing.

Responded to the customer support team requests by conducting unplanned emergency

testing without affecting the ongoing test plans’ execution.

Integrated third party units in the company’s product environment.

Independent Contractor, NYC, NY 1997– 1998
