CAREER OBJECTIVES:

My ideal career setting requires me to use a hands-on engineering management style that directly interfaces with the electrical manufacturing production environment as a Manufacturing Test Engineer. My engineering skills are highly adaptable to a wide range of electronic specializations, such as RF engineer, Project Engineer, Reliability Engineer, Component Engineer, Quality Engineer, Application & Procurement Engineer, System Test Engineer and Design Engineer.

I am equally proficient initiating quality engineering solutions in a high volume with low mix environment, as well as low volume high mix custom design-to-production electronic or mechanical- electronic environment.

My strongest skill is the ability to apply the processes of failure analysis in diverse product environments to test, develop, program, document, and modify protocols and to specify components to solve manufacturing compatibility issues in the lab or the field. At ANPC, I structured production phases and provided the source of reliability for product lines lacking a coherent, reproducible production plan.

My extensive experience with test protocols was recently applied as Reliability Engineer at Philips Healthcare to optimize quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in specification testing of an AC adapter for a universal input power supply on an NPI laptop medical ultrasound scanner.

As Production Supervisor at ANPC, I was responsible for all phases of production, field testing and cross-training for a TLS avionic landing system. Supervisor responsibilities include resource planning, production scheduling, developing production test procedures and assuring product reliability and performance in the field with culturally diverse customers. My accomplishments at ANPC include test time reduction and simplification on a whole order of magnitude by creating new fixturing, test SW and test protocols for multiple RF, analog and digital for most of ANPC’s product line systems.

In 2003, I completed a contract assignment as a Manufacturing Test Engineer by SBS Technologies in Minnesota, a company that produces complex customized computers for industrial automation, avionics and commercial products. I applied lean manufacturing techniques and ISO9000/2000 compliance to a single board computer product as well as PCI, CPCI communication interface boards.

In the prior six years, I performed as Manufacturing Senior Test Supervisor of a test engineering group at Zetron, Inc., in Redmond, WA. Zetron is a manufacturer of through hole, SMT and BGA product technologies for a diverse range of high-tech applications for international clients in remote control, public safety command centers, paging and Wireless Communication products.
