Developed first speech synthesis modules.
Most recent ‘Generation-IV (G4)’ series of security system accessories all communicate on a simple two-wire serial data bus in plug-and-play fashion allowing the various modules to operate together seamlessly, minimizing otherwise-duplicated hardware, enhancing performance while reducing cost. Further cost reductions are realized in reduced test time of the product since all input/outputs can be exercised externally via the net. Finally, the installer/user are given a software ‘wizard’ allowing test and personalized configuration of the product. Pacesetter Systems, Inc. November 1985 to March 1987 Program Manager responsible for $25 million pacemaker program including vendor and customer support, product improvement, cost reduction, and improvement of manufacturing yields.
Determined hardware and software changes increasing yield (from 88%) to 94/96%.
Transitioned new sensor-driven pacemaker from prototype into production. Arts and Science Technology, Inc. (AST) March 1984 to November 1985 Director of Engineering for AST and subsidiaries, Oncotherm Corporation and Biovet Labs Inc. Provided customer interface, microprocessor and analog hardware design, software design, and assembly language programming.
Redesigned the Oncotherm prototype cancer treatment system for cost effective production and maintenance.
Placed Oncotherm systems in major cancer centers around the country.
The Biovet portable animal cancer unit was conceived and produced for initial market distribution within 4 months.
June 1973 to March 1984
Various electronic engineering positions with increasing responsibilities from board level implementation to full system design.
