Experience:

1975-1977 Technical Writer Technical Data Specialists Hicksville NY

In this role I wrote technical manuals for Army, Air Force, Navy, and Intelligence community. I would work from provided schematics, create hierarchal technical drawings, partition the technology into blocks, and generate theory of operations, how to use, how to repair, how to maintain, and how to transport the military equipment. I also wrote ATLAS code to direct repair technicians.

1977-1979 Tech Writer/Engineer Litton Data Systems Melville NY

In this capacity, I was hired to write technical manuals and documentation for military and aerospace equipment. My engineering skills improved their designs so I was moved into engineering positions and attained a senior level design engineering role very quickly. I then designed hardware and software for military and defense systems. Litton is a defense contractor. When the company moved to Maryland, I didn’t want to relocate so I moved into writing High Tech articles with Hearst Publications. I moved to the engineering department here and worked at the MSEE level as a senior design engineer.

In this role, I would research and write highly technical articles for Hears publications flagship technology publication, Electronic Products Magazine. My beat was Integrated Circuits and Computer Aided Design and Engineering. I would be highly trained on all the latest technologies, then do actual designs using the latest tools and write about if from an engineers perspective. I designed microprocessor based systems, printed circuit boards, and custom chips (ASICs) as well as writing about design for manufacturability and design for testability.
