net Summary Embedded Systems Engineer with over 16 year s progressive experience in engineering/ma acturing environments, taking PC and embedded microcontroller based products through desi gn & development life cycle and into manufacturing. 11 years experience workin g in a small privately owned company designing and supporting microcontroller ba sed cost-conscious products for fire, EMS and police vehicles. Qualifications * Expert in design, development and support of 8, 16 and 32 bit microcontroller based security product applications for emergency vehicles. Hands-on experience with Microchip, TI, Siemens, Atmel, NEC and Renesas microcontrollers. * Proficient in writing embedded microcontroller code in C, Quick Basic and Palm OS languages. Supported and modified code in C++. Classes in assembly and FORT RAN. Real work exposure with projects that had Windows application programs. W ritten code for PWM lighted keypads, I2C, SPI, USB, RS232, Infrared communicatio ns, Dallas I Button, stepper motor control, interrupt and timer routines, PWM so lenoids, battery backup clock calendar ICs, radio MSK\DTMF tone detection & seri al flash. * Experienced in designing 12V, 5V, 3.6V, 3 amp and 4 amp DC to DC power supplie s with power management for switching to low power battery mode and circuit shut down. * Detailed experience with: digital/analog oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multi meters, signal generators, PCs, in circuit emulators, JTAG debugger/programmers , compilers, microcontroller programmers, PLD & EPROM programmers, capacitance\i nductor meters and public service radios. * Supported current production designs including quality improvements, cost redu ction, failure analysis, assembly time reduction studies and component obsolesce nce. * Solid PC skill set (Dynamics AX, Word, Excel, MS Project, Paint, Visio, Adobe PageMaker, Solid Works Viewer, Metrowerks Palm OS compiler, KEIL C515C compiler, IAR Atmel & TI compilers, Eagle CAD, PADS, ORCAD & GC Preview). * Authored product hardware & software design specifications, product technical manuals, engineering test reports, product engineering/manufacturing documents, software quick install guides and manufacturing assembly/test procedures. Edi ted marketing group sales brochures. Wrote articles for quarterly newsletter. Experience KNOX COMPANY, Phoenix, AZ Sep 1999 - Nov 2010 Electronic Engineer Assisted in new product development by designing, hand assembling, debugging, re working and modifying microcontroller based SMD prototype development boards for fire vehicle based security products. Drove projects to completion by transiti oning products from engineering to production by creating engineering\manufactur ing documentation, test fixtures and obtaining vendor quotes. * Successfully designed 3 microcontroller based products to meet company deadlin es, while still supporting senior design engineers tied up with higher priority projects. Completed working prototype of first project to meet customer s 60 day dead e, doubling sales. Second project was started to support legacy product customer base due to failure by consultants to meet deadlines. Created product and supp orted 50,000 unit installed customer base. Took over third project after company owner let consultants go and got it done during company move to Arizona. Creat ed circuits, CAD schematic capture, printed circuit board layout and embedded fi rmware. * Assisted in design of 8 other microcontroller based or DSP based products for emergency vehicles. Among these designs was a narcotics safe for ambulances tha t used a keypad, a box that released via tones coming over the fire department s radio nd a device that released over a networked computer with TCP/IP. Other products

in development were using a thumbprint to get a box release, Ethernet connectiv ity and adding 802.11 wireless connectivity to our product line. * In response to sales concerns over system costs, learned PALM OS, created GUI and wrote 4 data collection\configuration programs for 2 products. Reduced syst em costs by $800. * Actively reviewed customer requests and gathered design criteria to use for ma king modifications to existing products or to design new products. Improved ana log circuit DTMF/MSK tone detection, reducing customer calls by 20%. Added syst em reset and PIN display features to product firmware per customer requests. De bugged firmware based on testing and problems seen in the field by tech support and customers. Supported legacy product firmware and hardware. Managed multipl e overlapping versions of software, firmware and hardware. Moved to C++ to main tain one set of code for multiple hardware platforms. * Technical liaison between electronic engineering and customer support, sales a nd marketing. Troubleshot customer issues over the phone and via email. Travele d nationwide making field service calls to assess installations, update hardware and firmware, repair products and train customers. * Handled technical sales presentations with outside sales staff to assist in g etting large orders. Created training materials and trained customer support, s ales and electronic assembly staff. * Initiated repair tracking and failure analysis to identify trends, troubleshoo ting and repairing to component level both production run boards and customer re turns. Proved 2 parts used by contract manufacturer were counterfeit and had en tire run repaired by them at no cost. SHARP, Huntington Beach, CA Sep 1995 - Sep 1999 Sr. Q. A. Test Technician Tested, burned-in, diagnosed and repaired to component level PC compatible indus trial machine vision systems. Modified products for special customers and repai red customer returns. * Joined ISO9000 application committee, documented all test procedures for entir e product line and created manufacturing forms in ISO format, saving company $60 ,000 fee. * To get FCC and UL certification for commercial internet camera, contributed to three man EMI testing team, saving company over $80,000. VOICE CONNEXION, Irvine, CA Oct 1991 - Jul 1995 Engineer Provided preliminary design work, CAD schematic capture & PCB layout, parts & e quipment purchasing, product manufacturing, testing, modification, troubleshooti ng ,repair, customer technical support and sales of all PC/microprocessor based speech recognition and voice synthesis products. * Served as core member of a cross functional design team for a microprocessor b ased board for AT&T, which performed speech recognition and synthesis, caller ID and bank transactions over telephone lines.
