Yep they talked me back into managing. Great group of guys so the decision wasn't that hard. Reporting to the GM of Janos Technology, I directly interface with the other staff management team members and report on departmental progress, efficiencies and capacity. Under my supervision I have seven reports which cover all aspects of engineering at the Janos site. In addition, I direct my team to generate the Janos three-year plan which encompasses yearly budgets, capital spending, and… Show more Yep they talked me back into managing. Great group of guys so the decision wasn't that hard. Reporting to the GM of Janos Technology, I directly interface with the other staff management team members and report on departmental progress, efficiencies and capacity. Under my supervision I have seven reports which cover all aspects of engineering at the Janos site. In addition, I direct my team to generate the Janos three-year plan which encompasses yearly budgets, capital spending, and floor layout planning for each of the production areas. I manage all new Janos designed product efforts. Working with the sales team, and customers directly, we seek opportunities leverage Janos strengths seeking a competitive advantage over our competition. Stock products are also my responsibility. I help develop stocking plans for cost and availability, working with sales in gathering VOC (voice of the customer) to predict usage and investment. Show less

Here at Janos Technology, I currently hold the position Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer. I'm involved with all aspects of optical assemblies here at Janos. Designing mechanical portion of optical assemblies is my primary function, while quotation support, product development, and testing processes are also in my area of expertise.This past year I have had the opportunity to get a little hands on with optical design.

With a Zemax course under my belt and a great deal of support from our optical designer Dr. Ben Masella. I have been able to designed a couple of new catalog lenses for the new 640x480 12micron arrays, these prototypes were displayed in our booth at Photonics West 2015 (and DSS 2015). It has been a great experience and is making me an even better opto-mechanical engineer. I also have been doing a little consulting on the side. Over the last year I have had some fun designing some rather elaborate pieces of test equipment. Show less

While at Stingray I’ve have a chance to get back into engineering; largest accomplishment was my first TMA it is quite a large ”beast” with a primary/tertiary mirror that encompasses a <22 inch diameter. Of course this wasn’t my only challenge. I also had the opportunity to design and build an Offner relay that operates at cryogenic temperatures, much simpler then the TMA but a nice project to accomplish just prior to it. I’ve had a chance to work on a good share of refractive designs as… Show more While at Stingray I’ve have a chance to get back into engineering; largest accomplishment was my first TMA it is quite a large ”beast” with a primary/tertiary mirror that encompasses a <22 inch diameter. Of course this wasn’t my only challenge. I also had the opportunity to design and build an Offner relay that operates at cryogenic temperatures, much simpler then the TMA but a nice project to accomplish just prior to it. I’ve had a chance to work on a good share of refractive designs as well, including a quite a few simple objectives working in the SWIR, MWIR and LWIR. Of particular interest was a test lens that operates from the UV into the MWIR the materials and coatings alone made it a changing project. On the remote use side, I designed and built a small MWIR continuous zoom lens, and a rather large dual FOV, which was made interesting by having to design a shutter in front of in excess of 120mm.

In this position within Janos, I interface directly with the customer and facilitate a technical exchange with immediate results. Retaining my engineering tools within the sales environment I communicate with both the customers engineer team and our engineering team to facilitate a quick conclusion to inquiries and opportunities.

Retaining my engineering tools within the sales environment I communicate with both the customers engineer team and our engineering team to facilitate a quick conclusion to inquiries and opportunities. In this position I have been quite successful in closing key opportunities that support the organic growth of Janos. I am always on the lookout for unique companies (or technologies) to team with so that together we can solve the customer’s needs in the most valuable way.During my 17 years at Janos I have enjoyed being involved in every facet of the infrared optics business. The mechanical design of optical assemblies is what keeps my interest strong in the industry. I have designed the mechanical portion of many infrared systems such as; large refractive collimators, cryogenic refractive systems, long focal length objectives, catadioptric objectives, multiple field of view, and a continuous zooms objectives. While managing the design engineering team we implemented many design, assembly, and alignment techniques that today allow us to meet the some of the most demanding performances in the industry. Most recently I have been able to help the engineering team design some militarily hardened IR objectives; it has been a great learning experience. I strive to learn as much as I can about how infrared technology is used and how the company I work for can assist in making new products that change the way we solve the problems of the future.
