Description
To whom it may concern, I’m seeking a position that can benefit from my background and experience. I’d like to introduce myself. I have nearly 18 years of experience designing radiation tolerant power converters for spacecraft. I’ve contributed to designs that have gone to Mars, Mercury, Saturn, A Comet, Asteroids, The Hubble Telescope, The James Webb Telescope, The International Space Station, The Shuttle, and others. In my previous position one of my duties was that of radiation officer. This involved analysis, creating component specifications, writing test plans (top level and component), conducting testing, evaluating data, preparing reports, interfacing with customers and regulatory agencies to insure radiation requirements were met. I have over 30 years of total experience in the power conversion field. This includes switching amplifiers and servo systems for EDM machines, Lamp ballasts and LASER pumps for medical and industrial equipments, battery chargers, and off line converters for commercial equipment. My most recent experience is with hybrid circuits intended for use in space and military applications. I have a strong working knowledge of design for high reliability, design for severe environments and design for manufacturability. I have working knowledge of and experience with various government and industry specifications including MIL-PRF 38534, MIL-STD 883, MIL-STD-217, MIL-STD-461. I am familiar with various switching and linear power conversion topologies, magnetic design, as well as noise mitigation and testing. I have experience with EMI filter design and best layout practice for mitigation of noise. I have knowledge of processes used in the manufacture of hybrids and am familiar with quality requirements for these equipments. I have hands on experience in the environmental testing and qualification of aerospace equipment. I have used troubleshooting tools and worked on cross functional teams finding root cause of failures and helping to solve complex problems. I have used 6 Sigma techniques to improve yields. I have recent certification for completion of Cadence Program Management training. I have working knowledge of various design applications, SPICE, MathCAD, AutoCAD, EXCEL, etc. Attached is a copy of my resume for your review. If upon review you feel there may be interest, I’d like to tell you more about myself, and to hear more about your opportunity. My home number is (425) 908-7884 Thank you for your consideration
