Summary

Highly motivated degreed Electrical Engineer with 16 years experience in a R&D environment. Effective

problem solver experienced in dynamic test and measurement, circuit design and layout, software

development, machine control, testing, and IT Support. Skilled at working on multiple projects

simultaneously either independently or in a team environment to meet deadlines.

Accomplishments

• EtronX electronic firearm Program launch in the year 2000 selling about 2500 units for over $4 million

in revenue.

• Combined Systems Venom non-lethal tube launch device electronic fire control. Custom electronics

controlled via Microchip PIC18F microcontroller. 375 systems sold to date generating $1.7 million in

revenue.

• Multiple pneumatic firearm cycle machines controlled via PLC control system and HMI interface.

Minimized required testing ammunition cost and automated critical testing.

• Semi-automatic hand gun cycle machine controlled via LabView that cycles the hand gun at “fired”

speeds. Minimized required testing ammunition cost and completed testing faster.

• AccuTip slug assembly machine PLC control system and HMI interface. Machine completed and

transferred to manufacturing in 2007 and continues to make components to date.

• Barrel vibration measurement fixture controlled via custom electronics and C++ program. Fixture

successfully used in research programs to improve barrel accuracy.

• Shotgun recoil simulation device successfully used by marketing to assist in selling new recoil pad.

• Shotgun bolt velocity measurement sensor controlled via LabView. Improved efficiency over existing

manual system where bolt velocities were manually measured and entered into worksheets.

Professional Experience

Electrical Engineer, Remington Arms Co., Elizabethtown, KY – June 1998 to Present

• Pneumatic machine design and implementation using AB Micrologix 1100 PLC and Red Lion HMI.

Machine control panel layout, installation, and documentation

• Custom electronics development, schematic layout, and PCB design using Altium P-CAD and Altium

Designer
