Castle Rock, Colorado, United States
Developed FPGA/ASIC digital logic and analog PCB designs (LTspice/OrCAD/Allegro) for Sentinel ICBM electronics, enhancing system reliability and performance.
Upgraded XM204 Automated Test Equipment (ATE) test stations with redesigned hardware and custom software (C++), increasing reliability to 99+% (from ~85%) and reducing test run time by 20%. Designed and simulated digital/analog circuits (LTspice/OrCAD/Allegro) for PCBs and electronics hardware on the new XM250 Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle, enabling recoverability/disarmament, remote control, and increased lethality. Developed FPGA/ASIC digital logic and analog PCB designs (LTspice/OrCAD/Allegro) for Sentinel ICBM electronics, enhancing system reliability and performance.
Engineered new motor drive system (electronic speed controllers, drives, motors) on F-22 Armament Trainer, including hardware fabrication and development of motor controller software and drive configurations (AcroBASIC). New system achieved a 10% increase in operation speed, enhanced performance, integration, and control reliability.
Managed a project to evaluate the automated cybersecurity threat management process; conducted research, mapped workflows, and presented recommendations to executive leadership. Led vendor evaluation and selection process using quantitative assessment matrix (capability, integration, efficiency, cost). Proposed solution was implemented with reported savings of ~40 labor hours per week.
Managed daily pro-shop operations; strengthened skills in communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. Led golf instruction for various age and skill levels; strengthened critical thinking, adaptability, patience, and empathy.
