EXPERIENCE
Performed Worst-Case Analysis and Parts Stress Analysis to assess circuit performance due to part parameter tolerance
and degradation due to aging, temperature, radiation, voltage, current and power.
Utilized PSpice, MathCad, and MS Excel in support of design, worst-case analysis (Extreme Value and Monte Carlo), and
parts stress analysis.
Calculated and measured circuit component stresses in support of reliability goals
Calculated mission reliability predictions (parts stress and parts count) using Microsoft Excel and Relex reliability software.
Performed Reliability Prediction, FMECA, Limited Life Analysis
Performed failure analysis at the system and piece part levels.
Served on Material Review and Failure Review Boards.
Discovered circuit design issues in the process of analysis, and recommended potential design alternatives to the
Responsible Engineers.
