WORK HISTORY:
CONSULTING ENGINEER at Woodward Governor in Fort Collins through Adecco Engineering and Technical ¡V 4/2004 to 7/2008 also 1/2010 to 4/2010
Through Oxford International ¡V 3/2012 ¡V 10/2012.
Performed power supply design for more output wattage in less space, VHDL programming for FPGA interface to VME bus, and design for PLD data collection. Diagnosed EMI failures on two different designs, and implemented changes to include PCB layout to resolve issues. Designed new speed channel and analog/digital input for new safety project to meet SIL4 standards (Safety Integrity Level). Simulated all designs in Orcad's Pspice for margin analysis. Created white box test plans for hardware testing, and new Viso diagrams for documentation.
CONSULTING ENGINEER - Self Employed: Berthoud, CO 1/2002 ¡V 1/2007, 1/2009 ¡V 6/2009, 6/2010 ¡V 11/2011, 1/2012 ¡V 5/2012
Newmont Mining ¡V Designed new electronic training mat for HR group training, to include software monitoring on a labtop computer.
Redesign system hardware for a ground based measurement system. Redesign to include some hardware design, schematic capture, PCB layout, and system testing. Assembled and tested airborne receiver and transmitter systems. Systems were designed around PC104 architecture. Transmitter was 24KW with 20 percent duty cycle at once per second. One receiver measured the ground resistivity by measuring the decay of the pulse, and the second receiver measured changes in the earth's magnetic field. GPS receivers were used for location.
Coleman Powermate: Longmont, CO 3/2001 - 12/2001
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER - Co-designed permanent magnet variable speed generators and 5 kilowatt power inverters. Designed system monitor for 25 kilowatt generators. PCB layout for both systems. Created original part numbering tracking system for schematic to layout to BOM; saving a 4 hour check time to 5 minutes.
Baseline Industries: Lyons, CO 9/1996 - 3/2001
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - Designed new digital/analog platform for multiple sensor types and multiple output monitor connections using PC104 architecture. Design was modular and could be loaded for a basic unit to a full blown gas analyzer. Firmware was able to identify modules and adjust display monitor. This design saved the company from building multiple platforms in production. Designed two modules with common pulse width modulator (PWM) for temperature control (+/- 0.2 C) and a gas flow electromechanical valve (+/- 0.2 cc ). Both were temperature compensated for external temperature fluctuations. Analyzers passed both emissions (EMI) and CSA approvals. Analyzer communications in isolated RS232/485. Complete PCB design of platform and modules.
Self Employed: Lyons, CO 1/1995 - 9/1996
CONSULTING ENGINEER - Designed electrical/pneumatic controls for automated robotics packaging systems. Generated ladder programs for both Allen Bradley and Festo Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). Interfaced bar code scanner to gas analyzer for a Class 1 Division 1 (explosion p...
