-- Experience & Achievements

General Electric Healthcare – Milwaukee WI

Manufacturing Engineer/ Technical Writer Oct 2014-Feb 2015 Project to convert Receiving inspection from paper to electronic records.

• Utilized Rockwell Software.

Astronautics Corporation of America – Milwaukee, WI Electrical Engineer / Manufacturing Engineer / Quality Engineer / Engineering Assistant 2008 – 2014 Product Design & Test

• Created precedent setting test and calibration procedures for flight control components. Architected “Acceptance Test Procedures” which eliminated the need for training to run them, while improving testing efficiency.

• Collaborated beyond traditional boundaries to speed the adaption of engineering and production specifications (schematics, BOM’s, test requirements, and assembly instructions) and engineering change orders (ECO’s/ECN’s) to implement numerous new production configurations and resolve various design issues.

Design Certification

• Performed product analysis and validation to RTCA DO160, CFR Title 14, and FAR Part 21 and constructed certification reports for these and other contractual requirements. Component Librarian

• Defined and implemented a restructured electrical component library and integrated with the Mentor Graphics schematic capture and circuit board layout system and the IFS ERP. Repair Technician: 2007 – 2008

Repair of Electronic Flight Instruments

• Independent troubleshooting of flight instruments with basic tools such as oscilloscopes and digital and analog multimeters using schematics and wiring diagrams.

• Closed several quality flaws through detailed troubleshooting to find process deficiencies. Milwaukee Area Technical College – Milwaukee, WI

Waukesha County Technical College – Waukesha, WI

Instructor 1998 – 2007

• Instructor for AutoCad CADD, and MS Office applications including authoring comprehensive instructional documentation for these courses.

• Instructor for Basic Electronics, Electromechanical Assembly. These courses included instruction in the use of basic electronic tools such as digital and analog VOM’s, oscilloscopes, and signal generators as well as electro-mechanical assembly tools such as soldering irons, sheet metal punches, drill presses, and finger breaks.

Computed Aided Digital Design (CADD) Lab Assistant 1988 – Present

• Provided technical and instructional support for CADD classrooms and laboratories. Mark R. Thompto

General Electric - Healthcare – Waukesha, WI

Advanced Technician / Technician – Repair Development Center & Nuclear Staging 1976 – 2001 System Staging & Digital Board Repair

• Test, troubleshoot and repair numerous medical device assemblies and electronics.

• Designed replacement assemblies for multiple product lines including a replacement CPU control board for a nuclear scanner, featuring a state-of-the art DC-to-DC multi-output supply. This project included self-teaching the Mentor Graphics schematic capture and board layout programs.

• Specified, designed, and built test fixtures for various computers, disk and tape drives for Nuclear, Ultrasound, CT, and Digital Fluoroscopy diagnostic equipment.

• Lowered cost, improved quality, and increased repair efficiency by specifying, locating, and developing new sources of replacement parts and assemblies.

• Created concept of re-using and reselling equipment from nation-wide field offices obtained from trade-ins. This concept resulted in a multi-million dollar refurbishment business and millions of dollars saved for the service business by swapping out functional components and scrapping the non-functional repair items.

• Assisted Field Service Engineering, establishing configuration standards and specification updates along with time and money saving “Field Service Notes.”
