WORK EXPERIENCE

Software /Electrical Engineer
Countryside Design – Stillwater, MN – 2003 to Present
Responsibilities
Latest programs:
Aerospace project, Brushless DC motor controller at ½HP.
Web based Trash compactor monitor system with Cellar modem and ethernet
Quick turn electrical designs, utilizing high-density SMT PCB layout designs utilizing the latest electronic
components available. Clients range from industrial to military.
Developed low power micro-controller design to cut power consumption my 50%.
Project planning and project costing. Developed detailed project plans and executed to deliver designs on time.
Design an active communications cable for a Singar(ITT) radios to extend the handheld display module. This
program required successful completion of EMI/EMC, Environmental qualifications testing to MIL-STDS.
Ported software for a joystick used in off road construction heavy equipment product. This software was in
German and part of the project was to convert it to English and porting the code from 8051 micro-controller
design to Atmel controllers.

Accomplishments
Contract engineering delivering solutions on time and on budget to meet clients requirements and
expectations.
