I excel at solving complex technical problems and creating innovative solutions. My intuitive approach to engineering allows me to quickly understand and address challenges. By leading cross-functional teams, I deliver excellent results, ensuring projects meet and exceed expectations. My skills in project leadership, change management, and problem-solving make me a valuable asset in any dynamic environment.My skills cover electronics design, FPGA, firmware development, and automated test/data analysis development. I am proficient with CAD tools like Fusion 360, Solidworks, Altium, and ORCAD Cadence, as well as Xilinx Vivado for FPGA implementation. I use OrCAD PSPICE and LTSPICE for simulation and validation.In project management, I have experience with Jira, Azure DevOps, SmartSheets, and Liquid Planner for tracking and execution. I have experience with version control systems including Github, Bitbucket, and Apache SVN/Tortoise SVN. My technical skills also extend to Linux environments and programming in Python, C, C++, Java, and Verilog.At Synrad – Novanta, I led a team of electrical engineers and managed the transition of 46 PCBA designs to a new manufacturer, preventing a potential $50M revenue loss. I also recovered crucial R&D knowledge, mapped out product structures, and implemented a future state homogenization of products to reduce costs and overhead.Additionally, I developed an internal Python course for engineers, enabling them to interact with production databases and automate data collection. Within six months, four engineers had created tools that enhanced workflow efficiency.Let's connect!
