EXPERIENCE Micro Analog Associates Consultant Canton, Georgia 2004 to present. Available on a telecommuting basis. Retired and currently working locally as a substitute teacher. EMS Technologies Staff Engineer Norcross, Georgia 2001 to 2004. Developed high speed high current designs for satellites. High current drivers based on mixed signal Application Specific Integrated Circuits. Critical contributor to Advanced EHF team which earned full incentive by delivering the Engineering Model ahead of schedule. Developed successful model for complex non- linear microwave ferrites using PSPICE. Innovative filter design solved difficult EMI issues. Contributed key ideas for the development of Electronic Power Converters. Solved reliability issues on other programs. Allen Bradley Division of Rockwell Automation Project Engineer Duluth, Georgia 1998 to 2001 Developed two open system Industrial Computers. Supported power supply and flat panel display system development for the RAC6180, 6181 and 6182 line of Industrial Computers. Developed circuit card assemblies for flat panel drivers using LVDS technology. Healthdyne Technologies Senior Development Engineer Marietta, Georgia 1993 to 1998 Project lead for the Quest Constant Positive Airway Pressure machine. The project had an aggressive schedule and achieved FDA 510K approval in record time. Developed test plan to demonstrate compliance with regulations, supervised testing and prepared compliance documents. A custom power supply and use of a mixed signal brushless motor controller produced a compact award winning design. Designed to the target cost, the product ultimately achieved a run rate of 100,000 per year with a multiplicity of follow on models.
