I am an electronic engineer. I started learning electronics in my preteens. I served in USAF as a metrologist (PMEL) where I calibrated and repaired all manor of commercial, industrial, medical, and military equipment. Upon my return to civilian life I worked at a stereo repair shop repairing stereos, TVs and VCR's. From there work in a computer manufactures' RMA department refurbishing returned PC computers. I spent a couple of years as a field service technician performing warranty repairs on servers, workstation, and laptops. In 1995 I was hired by Shin-etsu Hundotia America CZ Maintenance Department where I acquired the first of my patents in machine vision and control systems. in 2000 Intel brought me on as a Tool Owner for the Schlumberger ETC100 predictive processor cooling system used in their validation labs. In 2008 I changed roles to Product Development Engineer, specifically TSPEC owner. I owned the design of the TIU PCB's that interfaced packaged CPU's to the ATE testers used to validate their design. Unique withing Intel I also also owned the die level testing PCB's called SIU's. I worked on many projects, the last flagship product was for the Sky Lake CPU's. I was not able to keep up with the work load with out automating much of the process. I used PERL/Tk with DBI to create models of TIU's, ATE Tester Configurations, Packages, and CPU DIE's in MS Access databases. I used these tools to automate validation for 8 sockets on one TIU. My test suite would check all signals tracing from tester pin through socket and package to die bump. It reduced 16 man hours validation down 2 man hours with increased accuracy. in 2016 I left the semiconductor world returning back to industrial controls at Cintas starting as Facilities Maintenance Tech then promoted to Regional Project Manager. Covid hit Cintas hard and I was caught in the layoffs that ensued. 2020 I accepted my current role as Test Supervisor in a Contract Manufacturing Company called CST.
