Developed a low cost, low power oilfield device that was capable of remote monitoring and communications through a cellular modem. This was a platform device with expandability options to allow for quick rollout of future specialized products based on this design.- Designed multiple schematics & PCB's for this platform - HSPA+ modem board with future upgrade plan to LTE- Main CPU board which included RAM, USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, multiple high efficiency power supply systems and expandability ports for future daughter boards- JTAG programming board to interface with main board and Linux OS- IO expansion board which included high accuracy analog IO ports, digital IO ports, 4 wire RTD ports, selectable 12V/24V loop power and 5V accessory power- Created automated test jig for production volume testing and programming of all devices- Completed performance verification and testing of all boards developed.- Coordinated manufacturing runs through board houses and contract manufacturers- Oversaw CSA C1D2 and FCC certification of completed devices- Tracked costs associated with project and provided forecast costs for production volumes- Created test plan and automated test jig for manufacturing process- Obtained CSA C1D2 (IEC 61010 & 60079), FCC, PTCRB and AT&T certification for product- Created technical documentation to hand off products to manufacturing and RMA departments• Developed product to wirelessly interface and monitor industrial equipment using LoRaWAN protocol leveraging the platform device with integrated cellular modem previously developed.- Designed schematics and PCB for this new product that could:- Interface 120VAC/240VAC with 5V microprocessor- Accept 0V-5V analog inputs without loading source- Accept 0V-5V digital inputs while being 40VDC tolerant- Interface microprocessor with LoRaWAN radio module- Designed provision for WiFi/Bluetooth/Zigbee integration- Created prototype units and test plan to confirm functionality of design

Evaluated an existing micro-current medical device from the mid 1980's and designed & manufactured an updated version with increased functionality. The device measures a patients’ bioimpedance and can output a constant current at specified frequencies for treatment.- Assessed original machine's specifications and worked with client to identify new features required- Designed various subsystems including efficient portable power supplies, independent constant current output channels & a microprocessor unit that controls LCD screen, user input & independent channels- Completed all electronic hardware design including design calculations, part selection, SPICE simulation, schematic design, PCB design, generating Bills of Materials, and troubleshooting - Wrote firmware for unit (C++) including main microprocessor programming as well as low level drivers for LCD screen & Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) units- Procured necessary components, hand-populated PCB’s & assembled prototypes in custom enclosure- Designed and performed verification and validation tests during the design phases and upon completion of prototype (Proof of Performance Tests)- Ensured design met IEC 60601 and FDA 510(k) standards - Prepared detailed technical documentation for correct operation of machine

Created problems, text & graphics for an Electrical Engineering text book for the University of Alberta

Main Project Radio Links Replacement Project · Basis of project was the replacement of out-dated analog point-to-point radios (300MHz range) with new digital point-to-point radios (900MHz range). These links are used for last mile hop applications connecting mission critical equipment at remote sites to dedicated networks - Assembled RFQ's and RFP's - FAT/SAT/POP Tested equipment while coordinating work with contractors - Completed Site Survey's/RF Designs/Path Profiles/Safety Code 6 Analysis for over 20 sites - Developed technical documentation & training for this new radio equipment - Ran two training sessions for the Tech Ops Personnel instructing them how to operate, maintain & repair the system - Supervised Tech Ops Personnel during field installations and programming of the equipment - Prepared to-scale drawings and schematics of equipment and sites using AutoCAD - Investigated & solved performance problems (modem connections, radio failure, MUX clock slips,...) Other Projects · - Saved the company $300,000 by developing a cost effective wireless alternative for 2W/4W/ETH services located at three remote sites. These sites did not have the mission critical requirements that the other radio link sites did and thus a smaller link fulfilled the requirements - Initiated planning for future migration from Analog to IP Infrastructure of National Network - Designed a new T1 Ring network infrastructure for the Calgary Terminal Control Unit - Selected appropriate sites for new ADS-B technology (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) - Reviewed Land Use Applications to ensure proposals met all electronic zoning guidelines
