You will love this!!!
SUMMONED FORTH AND DIRECTED AT WILL!!!
Reviewed
and evaluated designs
Worked
with fabricators to ensure that parts were of
acceptable quality.
Trained
operators in how to fabricate both introductory and
existing parts
Routed
part flow (Lean Manufacturing)
Introduced
new and cheaper processes for current
production.
Evaluated Designs
Worked
with lead designers to develop method sheets and
work instructions.
Worked
with floor fabricators to figure out project feasibility
Figured
out production methods for composites, metals,
rubber moldings, and sound
suppression.
Trained operators

HONEYWELL
•Developed
method sheets and work instructions for aircraft electronics assemblies
•Introduced
new laser cutting machine
•Tested
various electronics equipment
Method Sheets and Work Instructions
Basically,
lots of Auto cad work involving
specific instructions for assembly of
electronics
(These are recreations from memory of some
of the AUTO CAD instructions I was writing.
They are not for real parts, but do show what
circuit card assembly instructions might look
like. I updated/wrote >10,000 pgs worth of
instructions while there.)
Introduced New Laser Cutting Machine
Venus
cutting machine
12w
/ 30 watts Plus
Used
it for part marking, but it has many more
capabilities including 3-D sculpting
Testing
EMCORE
•Built,
tested and troubleshot infrared data transfer lasers
•Operated
and monitored test robots
Built Infrared Lasers
•high-speed
transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) modules for
use as parallel optical data
communication links. The
modules perform logic-to-light and light-to-logic
conversions
for data transmission over multi-mode fiber ribbon cable, at
a wavelength of 850 nm

galleys
Designed
the bulk of 2 MMA galley projects,
amongst other big $ projects
Assured
the incorporation of all engineering
revisions
(These are not photos below. They are 3-D models I worked on in Inventor. They were rendered to look like a picture. They were used for concept design and production.)
Testing

HVAC
•Spent
some time drawing blueprints to make lightweight HVAC piping for
planes
•It
was nothing but drafting really funky hard to define structures
Panasonic
-Updated
design drawings of in-flight entertainment
(IFE) and communication systems
-Used
ProE
and CAD
-Set
up wiring diagrams
Eberline
•Calibrated
and maintained high purity germanium
detector instrumentation, sensing elements, and sampling system software to
calculate activity and quantity of isotopes such as 239Pu and 238U.
•Monitored
personnel, plant facilities and work
environment using a portable high-purity germanium detector (HPGe)
to detect radioactive contamination at a nuclear dump site.
(I drew these HPGE detectors in Inventor one day for fun and use in presentations. I have run many different HPGE detectors.)
Los Alamos
•Performed an inline Doppler broadening scheme for MCNP using a GPU in Linux.
•Optimized current routine through CUDA C++ and benchmarked results.
UNM
•Created a gamma spectroscopy program to detect very low levels of isotopes
•Presented at national conferences such as ANS

Conclusion
Patty Cake, Patty Cake, Baker's Man:
Another Metaphor To Help You Understand
One
useful way to think about hiring is to consider the
process
of baking a cake. First, before you even get out the recipe, you have to WANT
to bake the cake. You have to BELIEVE you can bake the cake. Then, most
importantly, you have to get off your rear and ...
GET BAKING, BUDDY!!!
•Any
questions?
