SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
Skilled electronics engineer proficient with test equipment, design, procurement, calibration and repair. Excels in setting-up and trouble shooting automated test stations, and interpreting engineering drawings and schematics. Six Sigma Green Belt.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
BOSE CORPORATION, Blythewood, SC 2006- Present
Senior Test Engineer.
• Create and implement In-circuit Test (ICT) programs for five product families with 80 versions based on engineering changes for 40+ amplifier types produced on three automotive product lines.
• Increased ICT first pass yield from 88% to 96% and reduced weekly downtime from four hours to one through application of Six Sigma tools.
• Collected and analyzed failed data from functional processes resulting in maximized test coverage, improved ICT test programming and elimination of third party product inspection.
• Successfully achieved certifications in MS Project Management, 8D problem solving, and BPS (Bose Production System).
• Increased through put to 25% by applying lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methods.
COMPUTER SYSTEM DESIGN (CSD) CONTRACT FAA, Oklahoma City, OK 2005- 2006
Electronics Technician
• Conducted troubleshooting, repair and calibration of electronic systems/subsystems, and components including wiring, cables and circuit cards for the Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center (FAALC) NAS System.
• Performed testing, modification, and adjustments to NAS equipment, circuit boards, and components after repair.
• Installed vibration systems at customer locations to monitor the long-range radar system for ASER 1-4.
• Key contributor to customer radar system overhaul during first two weeks of on-the-job-training.
HITACHI COMPUTER PRODUCT AMERICA INC., Norman, OK 1997- 2005
Test Engineer I, II, & III (1997 – 2005)
• Developed In Circuit Test (ICT) program with embedded nail technology using the Agilent3070 system. Set-up functional operations on four generations of Hitachi products: Raid300, Raid400, Raid450, and Raid500.
• Completed one week training in Japan to set up functional test system for each generation of Raid products.
• Set-up hardware/software supporting functional testing of each Raid product upgrade after completing training in Japan. Improved and upgraded test procedures and trained test operators in each new product generation.
• Collaborated in the design, fabrication, and modification of test fixtures. Supported processes, equipment, software, and test tools for new products and engineering changes including software generation, modification, and debugging.
• Created ICT test programs using GR Pilot system (Flying Probes) for CMB product for Fair Child Imaging Systems saving the customer up to $10K per test fixture.
• Initiated switching and power supply board testing by developing functional test programs using IEEE LabView language.
• Proposed 15 to 18 new test equipment pieces, obtained quotations managing an $800K capital expense budget. Evaluated and validated new testers, jigs, and test programs.
• Applied Six Sigma Greenbelt tools reducing No-Failure-Found at ICT by 50%. During training identified several major problems implementing countermeasures to sustain lead-time and dropping failure down to 40%.
• Reduced troubleshooting lead time by applying Lean Manufacturing methods in test process flow for PCB by converting defective product turn-around from 30 days to one day.
• Collected quality data and performed weekly failure analysis. Identified escaped test results and root causes. Implemented corrective action for process improvements preventing recurrence of problems.
• Performed FMEA for start-up products preventing repeating problems and eliminating future occurrences.

TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Oklahoma City, OK 1996
Engineering Technician
• Created a database and an interface to Microsoft Access for users to run queries and reports in a timely manner.
• Operated and assisted with a Defense Integration Support tool to down load and up load data from different bases resulting in access to data in real-time and reduced travel time/cost for engineers.
• Designed a cost model template that reduced data entry by one-half for engineering use returning from TDY.
KODAK HEALTH IMAGING SYSTEM, Dallas, TX 1995
Software Quality Assurance Test Technician
• Tested, installed and conducted pre-shipment testing on new SunSystem software applications designed for physician input of patient information prior to printing x-ray films and ultrasounds.
• Maintained and operated x-ray printer and scanner to improve the quality of system output.
