Directed a team of technicians and engineers to perform analysis of product field failures and reported findings to customer support teams. Created processes to streamline reverse-logistics and engineering analysis to reduce turn-around-time. Led a lab cleanup and compliance training process to reduce waste and increase efficiency.• Successfully reduced failure analysis backlog from 200+ units to 10+ units over the course of two years while reducing the number of technicians needed from 6 to 3.• Created a central repository for failure analysis data. This database is now used to elicit trends in field failures and highlight areas for cycle-time improvement.• Drove down the cycle-time for in-house testing from 60 days to 9.7 days.• Provided regular feedback to factory and repair centers for continuous improvement.• Contributed to the international move of a repair center from Mexico to California and devised a two-stage approach for this move which was successful in making the transition less disruptive.• Devised a product screening program including test stations, information flow, and material flow in support of customer quality and repair center improvement.• Drove the design and construction of new dedicated test stations to speed analysis flow and oversaw cross-training of technicians to improve department flexibility.• Utilized resources in multiple countries to decrease test backlog.

Led a product design team to the completion of a medical monitoring product in a start-up environment. Supervised the purchase, kitting, contract manufacturing, final assembly, testing and shipping of first-run product quantities of a newly released product.• Created and maintained manufacturing plans including low-volume to high-volume transition plans for circuit board, plastics and final assembly and test, involving overseas and domestic contract manufacturers and suppliers.• Created an in-house stock room to ease material control and year-end inventory and led the clean up of office areas.• Developed an easy-to-deploy product system and auxiliary device shipping container.• Fully documented existing products and shipping records to meet quality standards.• Performed product demonstrations at customer sites and trade shows.• Supervised National Institutes of Health funded product research trials in conjunction with local medical centers.

Created product documentation and board-level test procedures for new under-water illumination systems for an industry leading maker of pool pumps, filters, heaters, controls, lighting and chlorinators. Contributed to design reviews, executed test plans, performed pool and spa chemistry testing, and assisted in the debug and redesign of system controllers and power supplies.• Reviewed schematics, made suggestions for improvement and changes, and created board-level circuit descriptions for LED based, multi-colored, under-water luminaires.• Successfully tested pool and spa light prototypes, uncovering potential issues and improving the quality of the final product.• Led the evaluation of power line networking modules to meet the manufacturer’s (Echelon) design rules.

Designed a number of electro-mechanical products, including battery systems to power desktop printers. Performed sustaining activities for several portable printer lines for the largest specialty label printing company with sales of more than $700 million. Provided guidance and mentoring to junior engineers. • Designed a lead-acid battery system, including a 60-watt charger that powered four desktop printers, and a print server system that facilitated remote operation without external AC power.• Designed a multiphase boost converter module with an automatic output voltage selector, which gave the company the flexibility to sell print server systems with 20- or 24-volt printers.• Devised a PIC microcontroller based telemetry system for a print server product that allowed the product to be queried and reprogrammed in the field. The PIC monitored charging states, battery voltage, output power and indicator LEDs, and integrated a power interlock with tilt-detect features.

Provided electronics consulting services to technology companies, including design, process review and documentation, debugging, sustaining engineering, and failure analysis.Client: BL Software Systems of Franklin, Massachusetts. Designers of cable modems with added features for medical monitoring and home security.• Reviewed and redesigned a cable modem product that included interfaces for the LON power line carrier, Ethernet, USB, a low-speed RF link and PCMCIA, allowing the client to introduce a new product concept. Debugged a video server card and a RF transceiver board. Created demonstration units for an Internet-to-television product.Client: ChronoFish Corp of Cranston, Rhode Island. Provider of software services and web development to several small companies.• Designed a cost-constrained telephone system that allowed an end-user with limited mobility to call a sponsor with a single pushbutton.

• Performed senior sustaining engineering duties, including new vendor qualification, failure analysis, and the creation of return and repair procedures in support of existing server product lines. Supported the client’s main customer on-site and debugged installed systems, eliminating test problems.• Worked with vendors to correct quality problems and traveled to world-wide facilities to ensure process quality. Uncovered and corrected supply-chain issues. These efforts helped the client secure a major follow-on contract.

Staff Engineer, Home Networking Group (1998-2002)Provided hardware architecture and design for cable modems, home networking products, cable telephony devices and residential gateway devices for a world-class provider of cable head end and terminating equipment and developer of the Six Sigma quality system.Senior Engineer, Modem Group (1992-1998)Designed customer premises T1 and fractional-T1 equipment, switched-56 restoral devices and analog modems. Participated in Six Sigma continuous improvement teams to formalize the design process and eliminate costly design errors.Engineer II, New Product Introduction Group, Modem Group (1987-1992)Designed data communications equipment, including multiplexer port cards and digital service units. Designed test beds for the factory integration of new products. Provided input to the design team to ensure that each new product included test features.

Design Engineer, Specials EngineerDesigned data communications test equipment, including bit-error-rate testers and interface breakout boxes. Created, built and tested audio frequency analog interface hardware. The company specialized in hand-held data communications test equipment and was the world leader in the use of pseudo-random bit patterns to detect bit stream errors.• Designed breakout boxes for data line monitoring of EIA-232, EIA-485, V.35 and T1/E1 interfaces. These portable, battery-operated devices enabled technicians to quickly diagnose communication problems between data communication and data terminal equipment.• Designed digital interface hardware for data communication equipment operating up to 1.544 Mbps that supported the company’s data communications test strategy.
