ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Design engineer who drives continuous improvement through use of technical

acumen, process analysis, and interpersonal skills. Strong analog design

background with an emphasis in data acquisition and signal conditioning

techniques for analog to digital conversion. Experienced with Mentor

Graphics PADS PCB design, Simetrix/Simplis analog/power circuit simulation,

Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

MURATA POWER SOLUTIONS, INC (formerly DATEL, INC) Mansfield, MA 1989-

2014

MIL-PRF-38534 certified manufacturer of Multi-Chip data acquisition and

conversion components, analog/mixed signal products, power supplies, and

digital panel meters for military, industrial and commercial markets.

Senior Electrical Design Engineer (1994-2014)

Designed standard and custom board level SAMPLING ANALOG TO DIGITAL

CONVERTERS, SAMPLE AND HOLD AMPLIFIERS, IMAGING CIRCUITS and COMPLETE DATA

ACQUISITION SYSTEMS. Products were designed using monolithic, thin-film

hybrid, thick-film hybrid, and/or SMT technologies. Many are currently

used worldwide in major military defense and aerospace programs and in

industrial, commercial and medical imaging equipment. Some examples of my

latest designs are:

. 18 bit, 1MHz, Sampling A/D Converter (most recent)

. 14 bit, 2MHz, Sampling A/D Converter for CCD Imaging Applications

. 8 bit, 20MHz, Complete FLASH A/D Converter

. Dual 14 bit, 10MHz, Sampling A/D Converter

. 14 bit accurate, 100ns Acquisition Time, Correlated Double Sampling

Circuit

. 14 bit accurate, 35ns Acquisition Time, Sample and Hold Amplifier

. 16 bit accurate, 800ns Acquisition Time, Sample and Hold Amplifier

. 12 bit, 8 Channel, Data Acquisition System containing analog

multiplexers, an instrumentation amplifier, a sample and hold amplifier,

an A/D converter, a voltage reference, digital output buffers, and

timing/control logic

Fully responsible for the entire design cycle, including:

. Identify potential customer's requirements

. Conceptualize the design plan

. Analyze projected costs and time-line

. Review with customer the design plan/schedule

. Design the electrical circuits used in the custom product and create the

schematics using PADS design software

. Collaborate with mechanical engineers to address packaging issues

. Negotiate with vendors to ensure that design components would be

delivered on time and at the required price

. Advise CAD designer on optimal physical placement of components on the

substrate/PCB

. Review first draft of layout, direct CAD designer on necessary

modifications, review final draft of layout

. Formulate a test plan with test engineer, including the development of

test software and hardware

. Organize fabrication of prototype units

. Evaluate prototype units over their full temperature range using

oscilloscopes, signal generators, digital multimeters, spectrum

analyzers, and dynamic FFT test systems

. Optimize prototype units and determine whether a slight re-design or re-

layout is required

. Conduct and document Design Verification Testing prior to product release

from engineering

. Coordinate the assembly of a full production build of evaluation units

. Monitor the production units as they go through assembly, trim, test, and

qualification

. Develop all documentation for the product, including internal test

procedures and external data sheets

. Inform customer of any schedule changes throughout the design process

. Oversee the full release of product

. Resolve any issues that may arise during the lifetime of the product by

corresponding with customers via conference calls or site visits

Junior Engineer (1989-1994)

Assist senior engineers with various design projects:

. Design and build test fixtures

. Test and laser trim new product prototype units

. Troubleshoot products and conceptualize a solution to fix them

. Guide manufacturing technicians on the production floor

. Design partial sections of a new product

. Investigate potential second sources for components in a design

. Evaluate potential new components for an existing product to replace ones

that are no longer available
