OBJECTIVE

Highly successful Electronic System Developer with strengths in Project Management and new product development with a mission to help your companies’ growth as your new Test & System Integration Engineer.

SUMMARY

Over 15 years of experience with every phase of the "cradle to grave life cycle" of designed and manufactured electro-mechanical instruments and products. My most recent contract assignments have been “scheduled short term contracts”, working against the product’s first-shipment deadline, agency certification requirements, etc. I have a strong background in design, problem solving working with off-shore Software and Hardware Engineers. Because of my previous experiences I have successfully worked within those companies’ Design, Manufacturing and QA, departments with minimal orientation and supervision. I have a proven track record of commitment to my projects, which were shipped, worked correctly and delivered on time.
