EXPERIENCE:
06/05 – Present Net Flow Research, LLC 2515 Erie Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85282
Principal Engineer
Specializing in contract manufacturing and new product development, Net Flow Research, LLC is on the cutting edge of new technology
markets. Gregory uses AutoDesk Inventor 3D design engineering software to create detailed models, drawings, and assemblies in support
of new product development. Gregory is a versatile engineer capable of creating a total product design. He is experienced in mechanical
design, fluids (systems and components), electronic design and integration and is deeply knowledgeable in product manufacturing with
decades of experience solving tough production problems. Industries served include semiconductor capital equipment, aerospace, and
commercial machinery. Gregory is responsible for new projects and product development from initial customer requirements to product
definition and specification through product manufacturing and delivery/deployment and follow-on support.
11/03 - 06/05 – Orbital Sciences Corporation 3380 South Price Road, Chandler, AZ 85248
Senior Engineer, Propulsion Systems
Gregory was responsible for engineering evaluation and procurement of high-pressure gas apparatus (6000 to 10000 psi) used in
unmanned space launch vehicles. In this capacity, he performed gas-analysis to predict performance and calculate safety margins and
acted as an advocate and technical authority conferring with launch sites in formal reviews (Flight Review Boards – FRB) to address any
technical concerns surrounding components under his responsibility. Gregory traveled to suppliers addressing test failures and all related
technical issues, acting as key representative for Orbital Sciences. He created detailed analysis of gas pressure systems using MathCad
and MatLab and provided cogent, peer-reviewed technical presentations based on his analyses. He also wrote comprehensive Statements
of Work (SOW) and product specifications.
10/00 - 11/03 – Innovari Corporation 7820 Clyborn Avenue, Sun Valley, CA 91352
Product Development Engineer
Gregory worked closely and directly with Innovari customers to define and develop unique technical solutions to tough technical
problems faced by semiconductor equipment manufacturers and process equipment manufacturers. Acting as a direct interface between
customers, engineering, and manufacturing, a wide range of innovative products were developed and deployed including 1) High-Purity
high accuracy pressure transducer sensor system from concept through prototype to finished product; 2) Complete architecture for an
automated DNA fluid analysis machine; 3) Servo-valve operated by an embedded microprocessor suitable for high-purity fluids.
6/95 - 10/2000 – Speedfam-IPEC Corporation 305 N 54th Street, Chandler, AZ 85226
Staff Engineer
Gregory performed system design and analysis of electromechanical control systems and mentored other engineers in the fields of
machine control and automation. Gregory was responsible for the successful deployment into semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities
of complex multi-million dollar machine systems; specializing in customer defined special configurations of the machinery. In this role,
he routinely traveled to customer sites to assure correct equipment installation, deployment, performance to specification, and to provide
customer support.
6/92 - 6/95 – Plasma and Materials Technologies, Inc 9255 Deering, Chatsworth, CA 91311
Senior Engineer
Gregory developed assembly and automated test fixtures for state-of-the art semiconductor plasma etch and CVD sources and cluster
tools to satisfy customer-specific requirements. He also made engineering improvements to product lines to satisfy customer special
requirements. These products included a plasma diagnostic instrument (Fast Injection Langmuir Probe), a helicon plasma source (Mori
Source).
6/86 - 6/92 – Librascope Corporation 811 Sonora Ave, Glendale, CA 91201
Senior Engineer (1/90 to 6/92) / Supervisor Manufacturing Planning (6/86 to 1/90)
Gregory served in two positions during his time at Librascope: Principle Manufacturing Engineer (1-90 to 6-92) for the Navy's SeaWolf
submarine weapons control system and the Marine Corps CATFAE weapons systems. Gregory was Supervisor of Manufacturing
Planning (6-86 to 1-90). He supervised methods analysts and tooling control personnel. While in this position, Gregory sweeping
reforms and upgrades of the department incorporating personal computers, drafting and modeling workstations and substantially upgraded
the manufacturing planning process. These changes resulted in substantial reorganization of the department over a period of years from a
semi-professional clerical department to a fully professional manufacturing engineering department.
6/83 - 6/86 – Mason Electric 13955 Balboa Blvd, Sylmar, CA 91342
Product Designer
Gregory designed aircraft hand controls and hand control housings from a variety of materials – but primarily from investment cast
aluminum. He was responsible for the structural design and worked closely with prototype machinists, tool makers and foundries to
produce components. He was also responsible for electromechanical packaging of switchgear and other actuators into the hand controls.
Gregory pioneered the incorporation of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) at Mason by introducing AutoCad and was the first to use it in
production drafting.
1/80 - 6/83 – HTI Hydrotek Santa Fe Springs, CA
Piping and Pressure Vessel Designer
Gregory designed ASME Section VIII fired pressure vessels, piping and piping skids, and other structural steel assemblies for oilfield and
offshore applications. Pressure vessels were up to 13 feet in diameter and up to 80 feet long. HTI's equipment specialized in treating
heavy crude oil found in California and many other places in the world. Equipment Gregory worked on included high water knockout
vessels, glycol dehydration systems, API 12F storage tanks and numerous skid-mounted portable assemblies used sometimes in remote
field applications. Gregory made frequent trips to California oil fields including the Rio Hondo Oil platform in Santa Barbara Channel,
the San Ardo Texaco Oilfield in central California and Thumbs Island offshore Long Beach, California
