ACHIEVEMENTS:

My achievements span a period of 55 years. I have worked extensively in the automotive, petroleum, aerospace, and nuclear industries.

After graduating from High School in June of 1967, I worked for 9 months in Engineering as a Technician for a medical electronics company named MENNEN-GREATBATCH ELECTRONICS, INC. I was responsible for the design and assembly of defibrillators, EKG heart monitors, and heart pacemakers. I was also a Foreman with 9 people in my department.

In early 1968, due to the draft, I joined the U.S. ARMY. I received 3 diplomas (with honors), and was assigned to the STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS COMMAND with Military Occupational Specialties of Tactical Microwave Radio Repair, and AUTODIN Computer Systems Repair. I was given a Top Secret Clearance. I received an Honorable Discharge.

In late 1970, after completing my tour of duty in the ARMY, the DATAPULSE Division of SYSTRON-DONNER CORPORATION employed me in Culver City, CA. I initially was assigned to the Test Department as a Test Technician. Soon, my skills and abilities were noted by the Engineering Department, which had me transferred into Engineering Support. My job title became Senior Engineering Technician. I was responsible for the design, assembly, and testing of 3 test instruments: the Versatester “Test Bench In A Box”, the PicoPulser Hybrid 500MHz Pulse Generator (assembled in a cleanroom), and an advanced Data Generator. After working for DATAPULSE for nearly 2 years, the company was relocated to Concord, CA, and I chose not to move with it since I had established my home in Southern California.

I next gained employment with TRW DIGITAL SYSTEMS of Redondo Beach, CA. My title was Junior Engineer. I was responsible for the design and testing of the PCM 2000 Telephone Line Monitor, which monitored 16,000 telephone lines for event and usage data. I worked for TRW for 1 year.

I was able to obtain a higher paying position with EUDAE COMPANY of Santa Monica, CA. My job title was Engineer. Over the next 10 years, I worked on many of the most advanced projects in the United States. A few of the more illustrious projects will be listed: I did design work on the 4 trillion-Watt SHIVA Laser Project for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, which at the time was the most expensive and advanced laser in the world. I designed and fabricated all of the fiber optic control and monitor links for the DOUBLET III fusion reactor (a 12 Billion-dollar project) at GENERAL ATOMIC COMPANY of Del Mar, CA. I designed and fabricated the first fiber optic system for use in military aircraft for LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT COMPANY of Burbank, CA. I designed and fabricated a laser rangemeter for LOCKHEED MISSILES & SPACE OF Sunnyvale, CA. I designed and fabricated optical trigger mechanisms for CHINA LAKE NAVAL WEAPONS STATION of China Lake, CA. I assembled, calibrated, and repaired numerous photographic processing systems for such companies as YALE PHOTO LAB of North Hollywood, CA. I was also involved in designing Special Effects for the motion picture industry (CINEMA RESEARCH of West Hollywood, CA). I designed and fabricated microprocessor-based digital systems for use in remote locations for IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY of Canada.

In 1983, I was offered a job as Engineer with CONTROL EQUIPMENT COMPANY of Santa Monica, CA to work on the design and fabrication of Thermograph Recorders for use in the produce industry. One thing led to another. I found myself designing automated paint spray systems for DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT COMPANY of Long Beach, CA. I next designed a large-scale copper refining system for use in the mining industry. I next reconditioned (under CONTROL EQUIPMENT contract to CHEVRON OIL CO.) the world’s first sub-sea oil platform (25 tons in weight) that had been returned to San Pedro, CA after 10 years in service off the coast of Norway. In it were many complex hydraulic and electrical systems that had to be refurbished. I next designed and fabricated several advanced solid state relays for timing control applications. I designed and assembled dozens of large electrical motor/pump/hydraulic control cabinets for CHEVRON OIL COMPANY of San Francisco, CA.

In 1990, the owner of CONTROL EQUIPMENT CO. (Mr. Paul Huska) went into retirement and closed down his factory building. I then went out on my own to work as a consultant to some of the many companies for which I had done projects in the past. Some of the many projects that I worked on were the following: I installed helicopter-landing systems on 6 warships for the ROYAL MALAYSIAN NAVY. This required many hours of Acetylene Torch Metal Cutting, as well as many hours of Electrode Stick Welding. I reconditioned a 150-foot diameter 175 Million-dollar microwave dish antenna for TELEKOM OF MALAYSIA. To accomplish this task, I managed a crew of 42 workers who sand-blasted and spray-painted the entire dish. I also cleaned electrical circuitry and made calibration adjustments on the overall facility. I assembled 1750 various advanced radio Impedance Matching Baluns for AMIDON, INC. of Costa Mesa, CA. I worked on the design, assembly, and testing of 12 computer-based TIG Orbital Welders for EXEL DESIGN COMPANY of Santa Monica, CA. I designed and fabricated numerous automotive electrical ignition systems for JACOBS ELECTRONICS of Glendale, CA. I researched, experimented, and made recommendations for the design of a highly advanced proprietary medical instrument for Mr. Thomas Russell (Attorney at Law) of San Pedro, CA.

From October 1998 to October 1999, I was Maintenance Engineer for AMERICAN CORES & ELECTRONICS of Costa Mesa, CA. Besides doing routine maintenance of production equipment, I reconditioned several computer-based 80-ton powdered-metal presses. I was required to machine many large and complex parts in a machine shop using drill presses, lathes, milling machines, planers, and metal cut-off band saws. Toroidal inductor business started to fall off, and AMERICAN CORES downsized from 25 employees to 5. I wanted to do more technical design work, and so I left to secure employment opportunities elsewhere.

From October 1999 to October 2001, I was employed full-time with BTC POWER, INC. of Santa Ana, CA. My work consisted of the design, assembly, and testing of advanced ultra high current Switchmode Power Supplies as well as the design and assembly of specialized test apparatus for these Switchers. All PCB circuitry was surface mount (SMT). I was required to do many hundreds of hours of micro-soldering under a microscope. The company’s 4 primary customers were manufacturers of ISP equipment used by Internet ISP providers. BTC downsized from 175 employees to 7 employees when the Internet dot-coms started to fail in large numbers. I left for a higher-paying job.

From January 2002 to January 2004, I was employed full-time with OPTICAL PHYSICS COMPANY of Calabasas, CA. My work consisted of the design, assembly, and testing of an advanced six-million dollar electro-optical system called a Wavefront Sensor. I spent over 100 hours working in Class 10000 and Class 1000 cleanrooms. This project, that I was specifically hired to work on, was completed and delivered to the customer (EASTMAN KODAK) on December 5, 2003. OPTICAL PHYSICS COMPANY had no other large-scale projects for me to work on, and I was told that they would not have sufficient work to keep me busy full-time. I continued working for OPTICAL PHYSICS COMPANY on a part-time basis until January 2006.

From January 2006 until August 2008, I was employed as the Quality Assurance Specialist/Failure Analysis Engineer at Power-One, Inc. in Camarillo, CA. My work consisted of Failure Analysis and other ATE testing of advanced Switchmode Power Supplies.

From August 2008 to December 2009, I worked as a Nuclear E-Tech for Westinghouse Nuclear Services of Lake Bluff, IL.

From December 2009 to January 2012, I worked as Laser Lab Manager at EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) of Charlotte, NC.

From January 2012 to August 2014, I was employed as a Reliability Engineer for Cisco Systems of San Jose, CA.

From August 2015 to June 2022, I have been employed as Test Technician on US Naval Weapons Systems for TT Electronics/Excelitas of Covina,CA.
