 Technical lead for the IR Sensor Board (IRSB) Product Improvement (PI) Program. The IRSB PI effort was to update existing IR Sensor Board from a simple “Go/No Go” lamp illumination detection to a high-performance lamp energy measurement quality detector. The design utilized an Actel’s ProASIC APA300 FPGA for system control and fault detect processing. Developed processor-based circuit card for the semiconductor laser control. This digital card contains a 16-bit Infineon microcontroller with Ethernet, serial, and discrete inputs/outputs. Worked closely with Software Engineering staff to developed flight operational software. Successful laser and processor designs resulted in additional contract award. Electrical lead for the AATECS System. Responsible for design, specifications, system integration, coordinate schedule, and support a team of six engineers to integrate five main subsystems.• Key electrical engineering staff for all production IRCM system. Supported product upgrade analysis, field installation, field troubleshoot and repair, customer interface, and obsolescent support. Product improvement studies resulted in additional contract award for system upgrades.

 Performed as the electrical lead for the entire AN/ALQ-157 Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) and Matador Product Line. Completed engineering development, testing, debugging, and implementation of upgraded designs and new development into production system configurations. Provided on-call response and problem resolution for issues arising with AN/ALQ-157 and Matador production cycles. Design the EMU for the Matador IRCM System. The EMU is an improved modulation unit, with lower parts count and higher reliability, for the production arc lamp. New IGBT technology was used to replace the obsolete power SCR devices. Contributed as a member of the hardware development team for the Ontario site. Hardware development included improves efficiency of linear power supply, active SCR’ gate control from conceptual design through system integration. Performed all phases of circuit board design, from schematics capture to PCB fabrication and test.

 Designed and developed aerospace-quality level electronic circuit cards. Created schematics and laid out circuit card assemblies using Protel. Conduct technical analysis and performed circuit analysis using Pspice simulation tool to validate designs. Specialized in C-Core inductor designs and E-Core transformer designs. The C-Core inductors are high voltage inductors that carry a current of 50 ampere sine wave. The E-Core transformers are transformers that converted from aircraft’s 115 VAC 3-phase power to 800 VDC unregulated output. Generated test procedures, conducted tests, and troubleshoot the hardware. Perform functional, acceptance, qualification on new or modified design. Support all phases of development project, including design, design reviews, design verification and testing.
