R. Bruce Lucas Email & Phone Number

• Design, develop, and debug stepper motor controller and in-line DC-DC converter.• Use schematic capture and PCB layout software to manufacture prototype surface mount, 2-layer, printed circuit boards.• Write program in C for PIC processor.• Verify performance, run life cycle tests and write test reports.ACSI designs and manufactures a complete line of quality electrified hardware products which meet the diverse needs of the architectural and security hardware industry.Stepper Motor Controller: Component (Printed Circuit Board)Designed and had fabricated numerous pre-production prototypes for assessment. The kernel of the controller design consisted of a Processor and an L6208 Stepper Motor Driver. The PCB was optimized to 2.50” by 1.25” for installation in multiple existing commercial door locking mechanisms. An in-line regulator based on the LM5576 chip."Bruce is a talented engineer with a strong work ethic. We utilized Bruce for research and development, test engineering, manufacturing equipment design, and product development. His electronic design knowledge and experience kept our project on track and got it into production on time and within budget. I wish I had more projects for him to work on because he is just that great of an employee." Steven Zychinski, Director of Engineering, Architectural Control Systems, Inc. (ACSI).

• Responsible for design, integration, and documentation of new and existing, electrical control and power systems.• Military and commercial grade air conditioning and heating equipment.• AutoCAD Electrical and standard Microsoft Office tools.

St. Louis, Missouri, Us

• Responsible for design, development, integration, implementation, and analysis of technical products and systems, specializing in research design automation equipment.• Developed a documentation process for schematic capture of electrical, pneumatic, and power systems using AutoCAD Electrical.Robotic Control: SystemsDesigned power, control, and communications for three substantially complex, automated seed processing systems. Major functions of the third project were two main carousels with four spurs, two three-axis robots, a container conveyor with printers, and a container capper station. This system incorporated over 400 I/O points distributed over four CANopen nodes with two, ACR9000 Parker EPL Motor Controllers. Functions required were a single-point shutdown, Emergency Off, Emergency Stop and Safety interfaces, with a 3KVA UPS and numerous power and pneumatic controls and peripherals. Included were extensive subsystems: multiple keyboards/monitors, cameras, alarms, and RFID pallet-sensing devices.

• Responsible for the development and integration of Test Program Sets (TPS) for analog/digital aircraft avionics systems.• Developed ATLAS and L200 (Teradyne Digital Test Unit program language) test program software.• Performed software/hardware debug and integration, and prepared associated documentation.

Williston, South Carolina, Us

• I managed a team of four test engineers and technicians.• I initiated efforts to improve qualification and life cycle testing, in scope and efficiency, by the development of cost effective, software based ATE. • As part of a team of engineers, I developed a process to release software that would integrate the Test/Reliability Group at an earlier phase to accelerate testing.

• Responsible for immediate, test fixture support, and the transitional support from development to manufacturing of the carrier scale IP (Internet Provider) Service Delivery Switch.• Developed special test fixtures for single board, manufacturing testing and sub-system fixtures used for systems test and integration.

• Responsible for developmental and qualification testing for a SmartCard CAD (Card Acceptor Device) terminal developed for the domestic and international market.• Generated documentation for test plans and procedures that encompass all aspects of product testing such as emissions, susceptibility, power, etc.• Responsible for developing, designing, fabrication and debug of Special Test Equipment required for CAD component and system testing.
