Drove the final product release of the NH Research's Initial Battery Cycler.Isolated features which did not confirm to the initial specification as well as features which were not aligned with the battery testing market needs. These were incorporated into the next revision of this product which was released in less than 6 months.

As a Principal Engineer (MTS-5) I was directly responsible for the selection, testing, management, and implementation of a number of technologies. Each new technology was essential in providing solutions to drive Vocollect's revenue growth.Principal engineer for the following technologies:• Li-Ion battery safety systems lead • Developed company-wide design protocols for pack development, chargers, and related systems. • Audited supplier compliance with tracing and assembly quality metrics • Validation of cell construction and root cause analysis related to cell safety. • Custom cycler for cell performance perdition and life estimation analysis. • Battery management and system performance monitoring • End customer tools for traceability of batteries and historical performance. • Sales tools promoting life and usability improvements at end customers • Custom smart battery architecture to enable end users and end of life tools.• Analog systems development – Design and mentorship • Lead Power conversion engineer for all power supplies designed with company • Project Lead for new ANR (Active noise reduction) headset design • Primary Engineer for all WIFI, EMI, ESD failure analysis and FEMA related quality projects.Documents Co-Written with Product Management • “Battery Promotion: Why Good Batteries Go Bad”• “Battery Promotion: Upgrade and Save”• "Understanding Battery Ratings”In-Company Seminars• “Charged With Battery” – Li-Ion technology for dummies• “Next-Generation Power Sources” – Looking forward to Fuel cells, Li-S, and “One-Minute Batteries”• “And I Like to Talk about Batteries” – Effects due to Battery usage profiles • “Can You Spare Me a Few Cycles?” – Clarifying what is meant by “Cycle Life.”

Personally responsible for all development aspects and on-time delivery of multiple projects. All projects required managing the development efforts of other disciplines including assuming these roles as needed to keep the projects on track.ITU-610-Compliant Switch Interface Cards:Project lead & primary developer of new functionally promised to telecommunication providers.On-time delivery, taking on additional responsibility offsetting a significant workforce reduction.• Primary developer for hardware, system design, functional specifications & test plans.• Managed work assignments for VHDL, software, diagnostic, and applications engineering teams• Managed firmware (VHDL) architecture and developed component modules as needed.• Managed diagnostic and simulation tests (incl. performing these tasks when workforce reduced).Environmental Reporting System (ERC) for next generation core level switch router: • Primary developer & architect including specifications, hardware, software, and protocols. • Managed final implementation within system through example reference software & schematics.• Managed integration within system peripherals from third party suppliers including test plans.GR-1244 CORE-Compliant Stratum 3E Timing Module:Critical system timing component of a 480 GB/sec non-blocking ATM switching system• Complete system design including specifications, hardware, software, and protocols.• Primary validation engineer ensuring compliance with Stratum 3E - GR-1244 CORE requirements.• Designed in-system clock-distribution architecture, providing for multiple-path redundancy.• Managed final implementation within system through example reference VHDL & schematics

Internal domain expert on Lithium-Ion technologies, co-lead analog engineer / power supply designer for all Telxon Products. In 1998, Telxon elected to move product development from Akron, OH to Houston, TX. This lead to taking on multiple job functions including product engineering, project leadership (across multiple projects), sustaining engineering, and mentoring new-hires. Mentoring new hires was a critical business need to ensure these individuals were able to contribute in the shortest amount of time and become highly effective in both Telxon’s products and product-development methodologies. Process Development• Revamped product development process reducing time to market from 24+ Months to 11 Months.• Lead feasibility studies, design specifications, and IP generation• Developed new design-review and phase-review processes for new product releases.Technological Development• Lead designer for Telxon's next-generation Win-Tel portable platform.• Managed cross-discipline teams in developing Telxon's next-generation Win-CE platform.• Recruited suppliers and forged partnerships driving technological innovation.Additional Responsibilities• Reviewed and issued final approval of patent submissions.• Analyzed and guided the resolution of all system-related problem reports.• Conducted seminars and training of sales, field-service, and customer-service personnel

• Obtained internal domain expert status for Lithium-Ion technologies.• Developed cutting-edge power-supply typologies for immediate product implementation (Including a high power SEPIC converter)• Designed power-conversion, power-management, and battery-management systems.• Performed on-site customer support as a Field Technical Support Engineer.
