Analyzing, designing, pre-testing of transformer samples as well as the implementation of the production process for the transformer. The design phase also includes meeting all safety agency approvals (i.e., UL, CSA, CE, etc.) where the device will be marketed and sold.

Marengo, IL

• Responsibilities included updating and writing new test procedures, new product test preparations and new product testing.
• Prepared new products for testing, including the thermal and electrical evaluation of specific components within the product
• Performed pre and post-test assessments to determine if any significant changes would affect the quality of the product
• Interfaced with vendors on product design issues that may impede operator processes while controlling the product, i.e., placement of switches and levers, pinch points, and accidental acceleration or sudden stops
• Documented any design failings by writing incident reports (IR), which included photos of the fault that occurred, and if possible, a solution to resolve the concern
• Traveled to outside verification facilities to aid in the testing of a new product release, e.g., noise testing to ensure the dB levels adhere to the European Safety Compliance Standards

Loves Park, IL

• Provided test procedures for VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) UL and LVD/CE safety processes. Maintained inventory for test instrument certifications, test equipment (consumables), AutoCAD drawings and drives for test.
• Collaborated with managers and engineers to plan and schedule product testing, implementing appropriate preliminary and standard tests to ensure successful product launches
• Oversaw environmental testing of drive stabilization for VFDs, UL and LVD/CE processes, analyzing drive with failures (with other engineers) to expedite issue resolution and expand entry to new markets
• Conducted testing to check voltage changes for new design of variable frequency drives, improving PC board reliability to meet quality and safety codes
• Analyzed test equipment operations and developed troubleshooting procedures to provide access to information needed to efficiently repair equipment and meet safety requirements

Bloomington, IN

• Designed electrical systems for the installation of software and hardware interface systems for Rockwell-Collins ground based Doppler radar.
• Performed beta testing on LINUX software to detect inconsistencies, managing all aspects of system integration with Rockwell-Collins radar hardware to meet customer deadlines
• Managed site inspections for installations, facilitated training, provided support and performed troubleshooting/repair of Doppler radar systems to ensure customer satisfaction
• Conducted MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) testing on cooling fans to reduce heat produced by the R/T (Receiver/Transmitter), reducing failure rate and repair costs
• Maintained test schedules for systems integration and testing. Created technical reports with data collected and any observations made during FAT (Field Acceptance Testing)

Indianapolis, IN

• Responsible for design, fabrication, testing and costing of high frequency transformers.
• Implemented Pspice and/or OrCAD to design transformers that enhanced signal transmission within customer specified operating ranges of -20 deg. C to 100 deg. C
• Acquired samples and conducted environmental testing of transformers on spectrum analyzer for cross-talk, return and insertion loss
• Maintained required documentation for AutoCAD drawings, costing, test data, and safety testing to meet UL, CSA and CE regulations
• Served as subject matter expert for design of high frequency transformer and case, assisting China facility with documentation, setup and testing needed to expedite product launch
• Interfaced with customers on possible new transformer designs, verified feasibility, material and labor cost estimations, material acquisition and product safety conformity

Bachelor’S Degree, Electrical Engineering

BSEE - 1 year short of acquiring degree Digital signal processing (DSP) project. The DSP project allowed the user to have the ability to.

Bachelor’S Degree, Electrical And Electronics Engineering

BSEET Major fields of study included analog design and digital signal processing. The analog portion of the design involved an information.
