Experience
October 2011 – June 2013: Direct employee of MEI Technologies, Inc., in Greenbelt, MD. My duties include the design and documentation of PWB boards for aerospace applications. Board designs include both surface mount and thru-hole technologies. The primary design tool is the PADS PCB suite of tools. AutoCAD and DraftSight was used for mechanical design, cable assemblies and harnesses. Created new drawings from sketches and updated existing drawings from redlines.
November 2006 – September 2011: Direct employee of Northrop Grumman Corp. in Lanham, MD. I was subcontracted to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, MD. My duties there include the design and documentation of boards for aerospace applications. The primary design tool was the Mentor Graphics Board Station suite of tools. AutoCAD was used for mechanical design, cable assemblies and harnesses. Created new drawings from sketches and updated existing drawings from redlines.
May 2004 – November 2006: Contracted through Pulse, Inc., to Northrop Grumman Corp. in Lanham, MD. They in turn had me working for them at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, MD. My duties there included the design and documentation of boards for aerospace applications. . The primary design tool was the Mentor Graphics Board Station suite of tools. AutoCAD was used for mechanical design, cable assemblies and harnesses. Created new drawings from sketches and updated existing drawings from redlines.
July 2003 – May 2004: Contracted through Tech Aid to Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, in Laurel, MD. My duties there included the design and documentation of boards for aerospace applications.
March – June 2003: Contracted through Tech Aid to Northrop Grumman, Space Technology Systems, in Lanham, MD. My duties there included the design of boards for aerospace applications. I also provided support to their librarians in creating footprints.
October 2002 – March 2003: Contracted with American Computer Development, Inc., in Frederick, MD. My duties there included the design of boards for military and aerospace applications.
September 2001 – June 2002: Contracted through American Computer Aided Engineering to Lockheed Martin, Missile and Fire Control Systems, in Orlando, FL. My duties there included the design of boards for military and aerospace applications.
May – September 2001: Contracted through American Computer Aided Engineering to Northrop Grumman, in Baltimore, MD. I was employed as an archivist. My duties entailed correcting and updating old designs prior to archiving using Sherpa (a PDM software).
October 2000 – April 2001: Contracted through CADstar to Lucent Technologies, now Agere Systems, in Breinigsville, PA. I was employed as both librarian and board designer. It was intended that I support their librarian as needed, but the librarian left and I had to assume full responsibility for the libraries. I was also designated as the department webmaster. I was in charge of creating and updating the web pages for the department and for various sub-sections.
March 1998 – October 2000: Worked direct for Litton Advanced Systems, Space Systems Operation, now part of Northrop Grumman, Space Technologies Systems. My duties included the design of boards for commercial, military, and aerospace applications. I also assisted engineers and program managers in integrating the board designs. Board designs included both surface mount and thru-hole technologies. The designs were for a variety of environments.
August 1979 – February 1998: Worked direct for Alliant Techsystems (formerly Honeywell, Inc.), in Annapolis, MD. I began working there as a board designer and librarian in 1987. My duties included entering schematics, laying out circuit boards, documenting, and simulating the performance of circuits prior to constructing a prototype. I assisted engineers and program managers in integrating the board designs. Board designs included both surface mount and thru-hole technologies. The designs were for a variety of environments. Other duties included creating and implementing design procedures for the facility, interfacing with customers, and tracking the development of designs. Prior to 1987, and off and on thereafter, I worked as a Senior Electronics Technician in the R&D lab. My duties there included assisting engineers in performing system engineering on RF, digital, and secure communications equipment and systems. This included specification of all system level requirements and the resultant requirements on each sub-system or system element. I designed, constructed, tested, evaluated, and modified communication and data acquisition circuits for equipment operating through the microwave frequency ranges. I performed system integration for operational and environmental performance testing.
1976 – 1979: Enlisted in the U.S. Navy after High School. I received electronics training as both a general technician and as a radar specialist. I received training as a nuclear reactor operator. My duties included the maintenance, repair, and operation of shipboard electronic systems for communication, radar, and system controls.
