In addition to the role of Hardware Engineer, I took on the responsibility of managing a 4 person engineering team.

• Integrated commercial-off-the-shelf components to create systems that monitor Photovoltaic Solar Arrays• Lead engineer in the development a Linux based data acquisition system to reduce the system costs by 25%• Created a part numbering scheme for each product line to eliminate incorrect product options being selected• Key contributor to the standardization of the CRBasic firmware library with a focus to improve the reliability and supportability of the code base•… Show more • Integrated commercial-off-the-shelf components to create systems that monitor Photovoltaic Solar Arrays• Lead engineer in the development a Linux based data acquisition system to reduce the system costs by 25%• Created a part numbering scheme for each product line to eliminate incorrect product options being selected• Key contributor to the standardization of the CRBasic firmware library with a focus to improve the reliability and supportability of the code base• Maintained the part numbers and part information the MRP system• A member on a team to investigate custom development requests from the Sales team• Worked directly with the contract manufacturer to improve the manufacturability of the Draker’s products• Administered ETL certifications (UL 61010-1, UL60950-1 & UL 60950-22)• Maintained configuration integrity throughout the lifecycle of the product and into future generations of control panels in order to create a product image for the Draker brand• Created scripts using Python, bash/shell, C++, Cora to perform task such as automate concatenation of data files, configure LoggerNet servers, collect data from Cell modems using HTTP requests, program devices during the test/configuration step of manufacturing, create a simulated network of Modbus slave devices Show less

• Hired as a key person to understand total product line, sought to help solve difficult problems• Improved throughput from one project per day to 5 projects per day, implemented a documentation standard, identified order of operations to gain throughput• Educated the Sales staff on the capabilities of the products, created configurator to ensure proper model was ordered• Developed project specific programs in CRBasic• Provided phone installation support to our customers

• Designed the DC power system using commercial-off-the-shelf components• Operated systems during field tests, performed customer training• Developed a prototype remote camera system, Implemented custom on/off circuit to eliminate current draw when off, Designed custom PCB’s incorporating MOSFET’s to enable/disable each camera• Integrated various sensors into a platform with a robotic arm for safety and positional awareness• Implemented a motorized control system to accurately… Show more • Designed the DC power system using commercial-off-the-shelf components• Operated systems during field tests, performed customer training• Developed a prototype remote camera system, Implemented custom on/off circuit to eliminate current draw when off, Designed custom PCB’s incorporating MOSFET’s to enable/disable each camera• Integrated various sensors into a platform with a robotic arm for safety and positional awareness• Implemented a motorized control system to accurately position acoustic sensors• Responsible for maintaining the engineering lab and balancing the budget (~ $20K) Show less

• Aided the engineering team in prototype builds and technical research• Clarified build documentation for a robotic control system
