Knox Video Technologies Work Values

Daily Duties at Knox Video Technologies:

Responsible for all mechanical designs and PCB layouts for entire product line of “Audio/Video, Router/Switchers”. - Mechanical designs consisted of both new and original designs, as well as existing product re-designs, first by using AutoCAD and recently by using SolidWorks 2010 Premium. Most of these designs were of 19” rack-mount chassis. - PCB layouts consisted of multi-layer (4 to 8-layer) designs using both SMT and Thru-Hole technologies with 75-Ohm controlled-impedance routing and special attention given for low cross-talk to adjacent tracks. Completed a major “3D” re-design project comprising of a 12-U (21” high) rack-mount card-cage chassis that comprised of 30 different pieces of sheet-metal, all inter-related and they all had to fit together really well. Worked with a variety of outside vendors in selecting and sourcing components, such as: panel overlays, switches, power supplies, electro-mechanical components and hardware items and different types of connectors. Initially used “ALTIUM PCB Designer” to layout video circuit-based Printed Circuit Boards. ALTIUM has a built-in “impedance calculator” which made determining track widths for 75-Ohm routes on different layers fairly easy. Moved up to CADENCE “OrCAD PCB Editor” when KNOX Video was purchased by MOOG Aerospace. /

What they like about Knox Video Technologies:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
