Engineer Electrical

Dear Professional Associate,

Please consider my resume in your search for a Senior Engineer / Project Manager.

Active DOD Secret Clearance.

With thirty years of electrical and electronics engineering background from Lockheed Martin, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson and Motorola, I have the experience required to excel in any design or management position. I have electrical, electronics, building, land development, real estate, and business ownership skills. I have a Master’s degree and a Professional Engineering License in Florida and Texas. I obtained my Unlimited Electrical Contractors License in Florida (2007); this assures that I know the NEC, NFPA, UL and various other codes. I have circuit design (analog and digital) picoamps and microvolts to kiloamps and kilovolts. Embedded programming in C (video display) and assembly using Intel 8086, Microchip PIC, Motorola (68HC11), Atmel (Digital Altimeter, power supply and LED’s) for DME Corporation and recently TI DSP TMS320F2812 (Brushless DC motor Control). Test and manufacturing experience ranging from medical equipment (patient monitoring systems) to aerospace systems and communication equipment (radio and cable television). Recent new product design experience includes design of digital cameras, R&D on radio/cell phone user interfaces, video (flat panel display interfacing) and switching power supply design to meet UL601-1. Extensive instrumentation and equipment experience, including: data acquisition, PLC’s (Gould and Honeywell), and design/modification of robotic and Laser process and test equipment.

I have power experience with Industrial / Commercial and Residential wiring and systems. While working for GE I was in charge of the entire manufacturing plant. Including switchgear, transformers, transfer switches, large UPS systems.

I also have construction experience and business skills: Professional Engineer Since 1993 with no incidences on my record, Passed General Contractor Exam and designed, pulled all permits and finished my 7,300 sq ft home in August 2003, sold it in Sept 2005. I also owned, managed and maintained a rental property with 6 units from Oct 1986 to Feb 2001.

I have also built a townhouse in 2007.

Real Estate Sales License, State of Florida, July 2013. I am continuously learning new material in different areas to broaden my knowledge and make more informed business decisions. The study material for the license covers many legal, financial, marketing and business strategies not only for real properties but businesses as well.

I enjoy technically challenging work and I am accustomed to a fast paced environment where deadlines are imperative and handling multiple jobs simultaneously is the norm. Supervisory skills and negotiating with both management and outside contractors demonstrate my communication skills.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Raymond C. Vivian Jr.
