Work closely with Product Management to understand and provide feedback on market requirements. Lead development activities necessary to take a design from concept to production. Successfully led an R&D project that aimed to integrate Projective-Capacitive Touch Technology (PCAP) into existing and future products. • Identified and selected an ODM (original design and manufacturer) and external design house capability which has effectively supported various aspects of product development projects.• Created new product test plans which complied with industry standards (previous test plans did not align with industry standards) and integrated them in the validation and qualification process. • Defined the electronic architecture which best met product requirements.• Introduced Agile / Scrum methodology into the company’s Product Development Lifecycle.

Led new product development projects, implemented engineering and business process improvements, managed and developed production and engineering staff, provided technical sales support to distributors, defined requirements and electronic architecture which best met customer requirements, reviewed and selected external OEM manufacturer to support product development.New Product Introduction – Led a 300K project for the creation of a new audio amplifier. Brought product from conception to production. The amplifier won Innovation Award at CES (2015).• Defined 3-year product roadmap, competitive analysis and market requirements.• Increased product quality through effective training and mentoring of engineering and production teams, and by developing high performing teams with a clear purpose.• Defined and implemented a new company quality standard.• Reduced costs by 30% by redefining supply chain strategy and engaging more suitable suppliers.• Generated $300K in revenue through sales activities

Designed Hardware and Firmware for Electro-Optic devices for Avionics, Naval and Homeland Security applications.Designed hardware and firmware for the servo-mechanism of an electro-optic stabilized head of an international Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV).• Defined the electronic architecture required to best meet the requirements.• Improved efficiency by introducing new product life cycle stages. • Successfully managed documentation for highly classified international projects.

Developed, tested and integrated RF circuitry for Naval and Avionics systems.Designed a power distribution system of the antenna of an international combat aircraft.• Improved R&D activities by introducing new simulation software to conduct feasibility studies. • Conducted feasibility studies on new projects and proposed the best solutions to meet customer requirements.
