OBJECTIVE
To obtain a challenging Electrical Engineering position that utilizes my previous work experiences.
WORK EXPERIENCES
LOCKHEED MARTIN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION-OWEGO   Owego, NY
Analog Design Engineer		 7/1998 to Present
v   Worked in Power development group:
• Involved in new design, development of AC/DC power supplies for military, aerospace applications. Working with the design team, cross-functional teams, involving in most activities necessary to take a design from concept to production including design subsections of power supplies, simulation, stress analysis, schematic entry, generate parts list, work with PCB designer in physical board layout/route, prototype fabrication, design-validation testing, debug, test issue resolution, and production ramp-up support.
• Supported existing designs, which were already in production.  Debugged and fixed power supplies that had problems at power supply level test, system level test or field returned.
v   Worked in RF group:
• Supported fixing phase problems for Qual/Phase Module of 3-channel phase measuring Receiver.
SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT 12/1997 to 5/1998
  

•  Designed and implemented an active vibration and position control system for a cantilevered beam, equipped with a piezo-ceramic "self-sensor" for vabration controller and addy-current sensor for position controller. This was a team effort; my responsibilities were designning a vibration controller.
GE POWER GENERATIONS   Schenectady, NY  Co-op
Worked in CASE/Electrical System Department:		 6/1997 to 11/1997
•  Assisted engineers with specifications/ ordering drawings for excitation systems such as Generation Excitation, Generation Excitation Compartment, and Excitation Bus Ducts (AC/DC).
•  Collected and Analyzed data in order to performed exciter parameter calculations and created standard IEEE excitation systems models.  Run and issued models as formal system level interface drawing.
•  Utilized Visio to create job specific excitation system one-line diagrams and enhanced automation of ordering drawing processes.
ASEA BROWN BOVERI (ABB)   Rochester, NY  Co-op
Worked in Software Engineering group: 		6/1996 to 3/1997
•  Maintained application packages and upgraded the software (MOD300).  Used C and Assembly Language to debug and test.  Analyzed the software problem, came up with the solution to solve the problem and fixing the code.
•  Wrote the test procedures and also responsible for the testing.
