As supervisor, my responsibilities included the role of principal electrical engineer responsible for the conception, design and development of data acquisition, control systems, and specifying the design and development of new, one-of-a-kind, large-scale test machines for testing aircraft braking systems. Supervisory responsibilities included eight Sr.Technicians, Sr. Programmer/Technicians and Electrical Engineer in everything from trouble-shooting large-scale machines made up of complex mechanical, electro-mechanical, electronic and hydraulic systems all to the component level. I led the design and development of complex, in-house, real-time data acquisition and control systems. These systems are highly reliable and operated 7 days a week, 24 hours a day in a harsh environment. The software, although complex, was bulletproof. During my tenure, I led the automation and refurbishment of seven very large test dynamometers (~$7M each) that included complex electronics, PLCs, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical systems. My group was responsible for the design and development of strain gage, thermocouple and dynamic data acquisition systems (traceable to NBS) for 23 test sites. The real-time systems were designed in-house to perform many complex numerical derivations. These systems also have considerable I/O (AI, AO, DI, DI and pulse inputs) and over 12 jobs and 30 sub-processes operating simultaneously. Additionally, they integrate fail-safe, manual, automatic and data acquisition systems into a single real-time system with full graphic and touch screen displays communicating on a LAN, the first ever at a Goodrich facility. I have designed systems using real-time operating systems or none at all. I developed statistical and differential calculus methods to accurately define errors within a system and the sensitivity of variables to the overall accuracy. I'm an expert in data acquisition and measurements.
