Failure analysis of electronic systems and assemblies, supporting both government and commercial product lines. I have experience with Phoenix real-time X-Ray systems, optical microscopy, component DPA (Destructive Physical Analysis), root cause failure analysis, and component construction analysis. I wrote and contributed to failure reports for both.
