Lead harness engineer for NRL’s MIS and TACSAT-1A programs. Designed a miniature boost regulator circuit for Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s spontaneous ignition experiments with platinum nanoparticles. Designed an NRL command and telemetry interface for strain gauge monitoring of a robotic arm end effector. Set up an NRL high speed communications lab for evaluating and comparing various spacecraft communications protocols. Designed an 8-channel high power MOSFET switch for DC motor control, electric vehicle and payload switching applications. Developed a high intensity light emitting diode (LED)-based illumination source for under-vehicle, improvised explosive device (IED) detection. Pushed the boundaries of cholosteric flexible display technology developing flexible circuits for SAIC’s KIWI project. Designed environmentally- and electromagnetic interference (EMI)-sealed enclosures for PC/104 embedded electronics systems. Developed ruggedized electronics enclosures for Manta-B UAV, FCS Wearable Computer, NSTec, CMU's Red Team Grand Challenge, Robotic Research and SAIC’s MaxPower Counter-IED on the MRAP vehicle. Senior Engineer, Protiveris Inc., Rockville, MD 2000 – 2006 Responsible for helping biotech startup Protiveris, Inc. begin research and development operations in June, 2000. Developed instrumentation concepts, specified and purchased tools, equipment and parts. Set up engineering and lab space, interviewed, hired and managed staff. Developed the electrooptical instrumentation and embedded electronics for a biosensor based on a unique microcantilever sensor platform. Conceptualized and invented a 64-channel linear Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) array module with custom, integrated microlens array, used for targeting the microcantilever array sensors. Developed a piezo-driven cell for using the high-order harmonic oscillations of microcantilevers in a scheme to detect small changes in the mass of material deposited on the cantilevers. Prepared surface mount technology (SMT) electronic designs, multi-layer printed circuit layouts, parts lists, assembly drawings and test plans for off-site production. Automated the wiring harness design technique developed at NRL. Designed wiring harness schematics and wire run lists for cable assembly by technicians. Electronics Engineer, Naval Research Laboratory, NCST 1997 – 2000 Made significant engineering contributions to various Naval Center for Space Technology projects including the Modulating Retroreflector, the Discriminating Interceptor Technology Program (DITP), the Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) and the Interim Control Module (ICM) space station project. Developed a wiring harness design technique using OrCAD and Excel. Electronics Engineer, Naval Research Laboratory, Space Science Division 1986 – 1997 Developed Tektronix 512 x 512 electron bombarded CCD (EBCCD) detectors for the Global Imaging Monitor of the Ionosphere (GIMI) experiment flown on the Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS) in February 1999. Designed, fabricated and tested the image-intensified EG&G Reticon RA1200J 400 x 1200 CCD detector for the Middle Atmosphere High Resolution Spectrograph Investigation (MAHRSI) flown on the CRISTA/SPAS shuttle payload of Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-66 in November 1994 and again on Space Shuttle Discovery STS-85 in August of 1997. Developed the electronics assembly for controlling the electrographic Spartan 204 Far Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FUVIS) space shuttle experiment flown on STS-63 in February 1995. Designed, fabricated and tested CCD controllers for laboratory and space flight systems. Designs included power control circuits, microcontrollers, DAC programmable bias regulators and clock drivers, CDS analog processors with 16-bit A/D conversion, thermoelectric cooler controllers, associated cabling and RS422 to PCAT bus interface hardware. Developed detector package for the TIVP1M 1024 x 1024 CCD array for evaluation of EBCCD detector systems. Designed, fabricated and installed two UV electrographic systems for the USAF in the J4 altitude chamber (AEDC) to detect UV emissions from solid fueled rocket motor plumes. Co-Op Engineering Trainee, Naval Research Laboratory, SSD 1984 – 1986 Developed ground support electronics for the AFP-675 Far UV Cameras space shuttle (STS-39) experiment and the Comet Halley sounding rocket experiment.
