Summary
Greatest skill is
inventing, creating, and designing new innovative products that produce
profits. Proven track record of successfully developing over 50 new
products from marketing specifications through to production, without
supervision. The new products generated over a billion of dollars in sales.
Outstanding
experience in integrating all aspects of new product design. This includes
electronics, microcomputers, robotics, stepper motors, servos, motorized
mechanisms, sensors, mechanical parts, cabling, cooling, displays, embedded
software, and agency approvals.
New product design
is quickly and accurately achieved by using 3-dimensional envisioning, Autocad,
and Microsoft Excel.
Organized and
managed seven different design teams with full project responsibility
during the last 19 of the 28 years total experience. Created schedules,
bills of materials, engineering specifications and change notices, cost
analysis, and business planning.
Tremendous cost
reduction abilities. Very
enthusiastic and hard working as a design team member.
|
Pertinent
Expertise
Very familiar with
modern manufacturing methods such as precision sheet metal operations, lasers,
waterjets, punches, brakes, CAD/CAM/CNC, castings, Stereolithography,
Sintered Laser Steel tooling, plastic injection tooling, extrusions, and
printed circuit board automatic assembly equipment.
This combination of
product design skills and manufacturing knowledge results in simple,
profitable products with superior product features and benefits for the
customer. Can optimize the engineering design tradeoffs with manufacturing
processes, including DFM (design for Manufacturability). Also have high skills
for designing and laying out surface mount and through-hole printed circuit
boards.
Strong analytical
background in electromechanical engineering principles. Wrote hundreds of
computer programs for design, product performance, and cost accounting analysis.
Expert in Microsoft Word, Excel, Windows, and PC hardware.
Designed and
installed a computerized proposal document system which resulted in the
award of a $200,000,000 NASA contract.

EXCITRON CORPORATION, Vice President of Technology.
Designed. Designed seven automatic data storage robotic library products,
based on 4mm, 8mm, DLT, QIC (quarter-inch cartridge), minicartridges, and
3.5" and 5.25" optical cartridges.
Exceptional commonality, modularity, and simplicity.
Precision sheet metal parts were designed for easy tab and slot assembly
with very little hardware. The product manufacturing cost was the lowest in
the industry, and the products were the smallest and lightest of all
competitive products.
COLORADO TECH DESIGNS, Vice President of Technology.
Designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed six automatic data storage
robotic library products using 4mm and 8mm tape, and 5.25" optical
cartridges. These products were based on a simple carousel design. Data
capacity ranged from 60 to 480 gigabytes.
ALLIED SIGNAL/BENDIX, Systems Engineer (at Ball Aerospace
Systems). Designed computer controllers for laser satellite tracking and
data analysis equipment. Technical Manager for NASA servo tracking
satellite antennas. Designed AZ-EL and X-Y antennas using stepper motors.
Special hardware consultant for Voice of America telecommunications
project. President of Bendix User's Group and top PC Specialist/Guru.
Designed and installed a PC-based computerized proposal writing system
which won a $200 million NASA contract.
GENERAL INSTRUMENTS, Engineering Program Manager.
Responsible for selection and management of CAE/CAD/CAM workstations.
Designed desktop computers, automatic check processors, optical character
readers, and dot-matrix printers. Successfully subcontracted $110 million
(yearly) of electromechanical subassemblies to qualified subcontract
companies.
