Design work in top level and modular systems, electronics, hardware, software and firmware, particularly for instrumentation and video in low power portable systems. I have had a significant design input on most of the products that have been designed during my tenure at SeekTech/SeeScan, ranging from full specification and implementation, to simple design enhancement recommendations. I have been the primary engineer on several dozen electronic design projects, ranging from a DSP and ARM based modular video recording and processing system, to simple ULF transmitters (Sondes for underground marking), to utility location instruments.Specialties: Electronic System engineering, Hardware/Electronic Engineering, Analog and Digital systems, Analog and Digital Video, Software for Embedded Micros, Sensor circuits, low power systems, design for test, design for manufacturability, human factors/usability, mechanical engineering for packaging, plastics engineering, injection molding, design integration. Design elements including: Processor and Logic selection (from PICs, ARM-M, ARM-A, Media Processors, SoMs, FPGA), Radio selection (WiFi, LoRa, BLE, Cellular IoT), Display Selection (LCD, OLED, different interfaces, backlighting), Keypads/keyboards ("Universal Keypads" hybrid rigid/flex with integrated components, keyboards - COTS or designing embedded ARM keyboard scanner to USB-HID, keypad backlighting), LEDs (for camera illumination, indication, backlighting, structural lighting, drivers, neo-pixel), actuators (speakers, Haptic, servo, stepper motors), User eXperience (Ux) and usage/interface, plastics (Plastic Injection Molding (PIM), extrusion, laser cutting, machining, 3D printing), metal (machining, forming, welding, molding/casting), lots of stuff... I can "software" and have written production code years ago. I'm very good at figuring out a system to implement a thing, implementation isn't current strength - rusty. Mostly Arduino/RasPi these days. Familiar with SVN, GitHub, Slack, Some knowledge from networks to OSI 7 layer model, Assembly, to Object Oriented. I can manage and have in the past - but with the management structure in my current company, find it more productive and fulfilling to do mostly design work. Numerous patents relating to design work.

Listed skills include Electronics, Design For Manufacturing, Product Development, Embedded Systems, and 18 others.
