Lead Design Engineer at Static Power with over 4 years of experience.• Research and Development: Creating prototypes and testing to add features, reduce costs of existing models. • Design: Creating improved circuits and entire PCB sets for new thyristor based static transfer switches. Circuits include both analog and digital interfacing such as operational amplifiers, microcontrollers, FPGA/CPLDs. I use CAD software (Altium) to create the schematics, PCB layouts and generate BOMs. I maintain and the files and BOMs with revision control.• Acquisition: Managing relationships with approved suppliers which involves discussing technical specifications, requesting free samples for experimentation and prototyping, negotiating prices and lead times. Calculated quantities to order based on inventory levels and price breaks.• Managing: Designed a system using spreadsheets and a WordPress based dashboard that feature graphs of captured and analyzed KPIs including quality, test times and stock levels. I managed a multi-disciplinary team in the R&D department, delegating tasks, reporting project status to stakeholders.• Quality Control: Testing and generating reports of issues found. Creating product testing procedures for required specifications. Improving previous testing procedures by creating a digital test record database, which reduced test time waste and enabled root cause analysis for mitigating batch issues to improve first pass yield.
